President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.

Someone was posting about a mate they lost in the military. It hit me because I remember being in a vehicle with three other people and I am the only one left alive. You don’t know what life will hand you, but cherish what you have and be a better person.

My previous lead fell through, so...

Does anyone in Western Washington have an electric piano with weighted keys that they no longer use and would be willing to give away?

I have a ten year old ADHD kid whose heart is set on one for Christmas but it's not in our budget this year.

🙄 This is bad. Congress should not be allowed to have closed hearings or inquiries. Unless it’s required for national security.
But for a fishing expedition to try political enemies in the court of public opinion? No closed committee. 🤷🏻‍♂️🇺🇸⚖️

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024.
