Seems like kind-of-a-lot has happened.

Sheesh...

I felt so awful that I avoided ANYTHING that would make me feel worse - including news - for the 2.5 wks I was down.

I mean... DAMN.

Emanuel Cleaver is an incredible asset to #KansasCity, MO.

He has been a staunch supporter of ALL its citizens since his days as a city council member, then as mayor, and now as a congressional representative.

He makes me proud of my hometown, even if I can't bring myself to move back.

I no longer have Netflix, but CEO Sarandos is right.

Expensive tickets & snacks.
Uncomfortable seats.
Disease outbreaks.
Long lines for nasty bathrooms.
Crowded armrests.
Mass shootings.

I'm #streaming in MY home with MY bathroom, couch, popcorn, & ability to pause.

A bunch of celebrities took a space trip to show the rest of women what's possible -
If you have money/connections.

"Wendy's" mocks them (AWESOME social media team😂😂😂).

Meanwhile, the GOP is trying to make it harder for married women to vote.

But... yay! 10min space trip for the privileged few!

I have a friend who isn't much into political causes and loves Target.

When she & I went out shopping two weeks ago for Ninja blenders, I steered us towards Costco.

She doesn't have a membership, so I loaned her mine.

She has a Ninja AND a membership now.

We had a cruise planned this summer.
We canceled our cruise to USVI, PR, Bahamas, and Turks & Caicos (except PR, all places I've never visited) due to uncertainty over my husband's job (retired vet who works for DOD).

He still has a job, but I am suddenly super grateful we canceled.

Wow...

Another reason we need new leadership.

Blind trust in deceitful, amoral human beings to hold up their end of the bargain is not the character trait we should back...
Remember the 'fix' to the blow to DC funding that Schumer said he got as part of why he voted for the funding package past month?

It still hasn't made it past the House, predictably, and Politico says it's not moving forward before recess: www.politico.com/live-updates...

Huh... maybe Rep. Bacon should listen to those of us who warned him before the vote.

We had FORESIGHT, since we've seen a Trump sh!tshow before...
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) says he will introduce legislation in the House to give Congress more control over tariffs, as a bipartisan effort for this is also happening in the Senate.

"We gave some of that power to the executive branch. And I think, in hindsight, that was a mistake."
