After 1 pd I hope Coach is laying into #STLBlues because I’m not seeing the intensity needed especially from the Defense 🤦‍♂️ #NHL

Won’t lament the state of the Cardinals, (dead horse) but hate to see Gray dumped for basically potatoes 🤡 He was their only really decent pitcher, definitely signals Bloom is ready to blow it up. It’s what they need but still a bit jarring lol. I’m thankful I’m not monetarily invested in the club 🤷‍♂️

This THREAD.
Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

JFC! They’re not just kidnapping people now, they’re DRUGGING them!
Local police officers and sheriffs in Mobile, Alabama, are abducting a man from the waiting room of a car dealership mechanic shop on behalf of ICE/DHS. During the kidnapping, he is administered an unidentified sedative.

We cannot progress till we acknowledge the fact that this country has a serious political violence problem on both sides of the aisle, whether it's Republicans trying to kill Democrats or Republicans trying to kill Republicans

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

Just another one who needs to go (Tim)
Tim Kaine on AOC: "She was not at the table with the Republicans in the Senate. Maybe she thinks the Republicans would've caved. Would it have been another week of SNAP recipients losing their SNAP benefits? Another month of air travelers enduring chaos and even danger?"

Cut some 🌱 Eucalyptus www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/plantfinder/... today. We got it for free from CSA farm. Mulched but will likely die in Zone 6b. We just don't have sunny window space for a tree. If we did, I'd have indoor lemon trees like I did when I was a kid. Best smelling bathroom ever.

Cornbread for Stuffed Poblanos: done. This time w/ baking powder that doesn't have sell by date of Aug 2023. 🤣

We are knee deep in poblanos and have enough smoked/dried to stock a store, so we need to incorporate them into a lot of meals this week. Your favorite recipes that you enjoy appreciated.

This is how drumpf ran, described to a T. Why are they *always* projecting?! 🤦‍♂️
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."

Republicans are literally defying the law so that they don’t have to feed hungry children. I never want to hear the “party of the working class,” “law and order,” “constitutional,” “patriotic,” or “Christian” branding ever again. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
