A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

I’m getting sick of the people we know who ask us why we wanted to get married ‘at our stage in life’. “You’re not having more kids at your ages”, they say. I respect that marriage isn’t for everyone, and it’s a choice. But ‘having kids’ as the criteria seems very Republican of them. Just saying.

Back in the states. We felt it yesterday when we were about to land and a woman behind us asked her seatmate if they were on the right side of the plane to see Mount Rainier … in Chicago. These people vote.

Looking at cars for my recent grad (and new teacher 🥰) daughter. It doesn’t have to be brand new. Just reliable and fun. Honda Civics seem to have upheld their reputation since the days I drove one in my own early teaching days.

Somebody’s lying again….. Iran said on Monday there were no talks under way with the United States and no plans for any meetings, contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump who had cited talks he said would take place Monday afternoon as justification for calling off attacks.

My dad used to remind me that ‘some comments aren’t deserving of a response’. His tolerance for stupidity was equal to mine. Looks like a good day to take his advice and run with it.

Home sweet home. Chicago at 69° currently, which feels like fall compared to the scorching temps we left in Ajaccio. At least the frigid air will help us stay awake while we adjust to reality. 🌴⛄️
