That’s the other childhood to adult disappointment. I really thought there’d be more secret passageways and homes built into trees by now.

Grandma's eating half a family sized can of condensed cream of chicken soup in her grits every morning. Half. Of a 22oz can. Every morning.

Ma'am.

Threatening Todd Lyons with contempt got the person in question released, if I'm understanding this correctly.

John Thune declines chance to back Noem after Minnesota killing
John Thune declines chance to back Noem after Minnesota killing
Senate Majority Leader John Thune declined to say Tuesday whether he had confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as President Donald Trump faces calls to fire her and Democrats push for her impeachment. “That’s the president’s judgment call,” Thune told reporters when asked about Noem, a fellow South Dakota native who previously served with him in the state’s congressional delegation. Noem has been at the center of intense scrutiny over the administration’s immigration enforcement tactics after federal agents killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti during a street skirmish on Minneapolis Saturday. Trump said Tuesday he was standing by the embattled secretary. While Thune’s comments fell well short of an endorsement of Noem’s performance, he has similarly withheld comment on other embattled Trump officials in recent months, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in December. Thune said Tuesday he backs an impartial investigation of the Pretti killing, including probes by state and local officials, as well as a federal investigation outside of DHS. “Clearly, there a lot of questions that have to be answered,” he said, adding that investigations are “necessary … any time there’s a shooting like that and lives lost.” He doubled down on praise for Trump’s decision to send White House border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee immigration enforcement operations there, calling him “an experienced pro” and calling the moment an “opportunity to evaluate and to really assess the policies and the procedure.” Thune’s GOP counterpart across the Capitol, Speaker Mike Johnson, has been silent since the shooting, with the House out of session for a one-week break. The fallout from Pretti’s killing has upended the Senate’s plan to pass a six-bill spending package by the Friday midnight deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown. Democrats want DHS funding stripped out of the bill and renegotiated, but Republicans are hoping that they can appease Democrats with other actions. Thune said Democrats should make their policy demands “clear and known and see to what degree the administration will be able to address that,” adding that he “would prefer that there be a way that we keep the package together.” If Democrats block the six-bill package, as they have vowed to do, Thune said the Senate would move to “Plan B,” which is “to be determined.” Lead Art: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) speaks with reporters as he walks into his office at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 27, 2026. | Francis Chung/POLITICO

Everything on the crochet cardigan is done, except for the buttons.

Took it in during seaming. It's giving coat more than cardi, and the sleeves are too long. But it's really cozy and warm, so no complaints.

She's right and I hope most people have tuned in enough to get it. You still refuse to support the bill - as she has made clear she will - but realize every other function of the Federal govt will run out of $ while ICE/CBP have an ENORMOUS pool of money to draw from. Be ready for that.
Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE.

ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.
Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences.

I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.

The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.

I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

Hey guys, heads up to anyone who follows the Alt National Park Service account ⬇️
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.

A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Resisting the urge to break out my crochet borders book to add a little pizazz to the cardigan cuffs. I have more than enough yarn.

I decided to do some of the edging and trim before sewing the sleeves on so there was less fabric to maneuver. I still have most of a skein left.
