We've been off social media while dealing with the demise of a raccoon in the chimney of our rental home. Slow action by the landlord, 100 degee summer days, and the need to find new housing in a crazy rental market has slowed down our engagement. Pro tip: chimney caps. Have they found Mitch?🦝

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

“Reasonable people can debate ODNI’s size and mission, but sacking dozens of seasoned officers in your first week isn’t reform – it’s performative firing to please a president who treats his own intelligence community as the enemy within.” engelsbergideas.com/reviews/insi...

There have been 4,500 cases of measles reported in children, fueled by vaccine hesitancy, which is more cases than were reported from 2020 to 2024 combined. The data doesn’t lie. But the Trump administration does.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

The guy that they want you to be terrified of (Mamdani) is making sure kids in NYC are fed all summer and people have access to cheaper groceries, all while they take food away from kids getting SNAP. Just sayin, feeding kids should make you the good guy.
