MTG and Lauren Bobert disagree. But in general women have been socialized to achieve cooperative solutions.

Not without bribe money. Mr. Projection strikes again.

Diplomacy and not being an asshat to the rest of the world would be faster and far more cost effective, leaving money to invest in people, here and abroad.

What are the odds that the bomber believes in fetal personhood and just destroyed numerous frozen embryos?

During Trump 1.0, on International Women's Day I went to Capitol Hill armed with boxes of cookies, bags of 3d printed Lego minifig compatible pink hats, and thank you notes for my senators (my rep stank) and Senator Warren. Only Warren's office took notes about fair market value.

I was chatting with my fiduciary financial advisor, who said "we don't touch Tesla because it is an auto company that trades at PE ratios like a tech company." Politics aside, Tesla isn't a good buy.

Nothing says security risk about it, either.

So I show up, claim to be here illegally, and get a free one way ticket to country of my choice? Cool.

Has he just set a trap for himself? The identity of these WH visitors should be public record. Not convinced his top bribers want to be known.

Did they forget that Bush the Lesser was president at the time?

This is the first time in decades of DC bar membership I have cared about bar leadership. My vote is in.

We just enjoyed rice paper wraps for lunch. It is supposed to be the feast of unleavened bread, not a fast. Onward to enjoying matzoh under toffee and chocolate for dessert.

If we don't believe that he is 6"3 and 225 pounds, why should we think any other part of this report is accurate?

#NotInOurName. This bill will not make Jews safer.

The irony is that those of us married women who didn't change their last names (35 years later my husband's extended family is still confused) and will be unimpacted seem far more likely to vote for candidates who support women.

The Chicago School of Economics and their theory that people make rational purchasing decisions based on an analysis of all available info is one heck of a fantasy. But not as big a fantasy as the one Trump is pushing.

Children. Red states are already trying to change child labor laws. Those tiny fingers and sharp eyes are perfect for tiny screws.

We have seen this before; the orange menace happily parrots and acts on whatever someone has told him in a flattering way.

Yesterday was the cherry blossom run. Saw some streets shut down on Saturday on our way to the protests for it. They were still busy building stands and barricades. If those aren't coming down today it is something else. Security for the Easter Egg roll is going to be crazy.

DC, east side of the Washington monument. Huge crowd.

We couldn't get close enough to hear the speakers, just to the point we could hear people cheering in reaction. #handsoff.

The party that claims to love states rights doesn't seem to actually care about this.

Donated to him, for one thing. Looking forward to watching his long and successful career. And we will be making good trouble this Saturday.

Booker is doing it for a far better cause than Thurmond, too.

"Anger monkeys throwing faeces"is also a pretty good descriptor of a certain political regime.

What a shame. I got to know some of the top administrators at The Ohio State University a few years ago and they had so much commitment to providing a quality education without saddling students with crushing debt. A censored education is not a quality education. It's brainwashing.

If just 1%of US lawyers would file FOIA requests and then seek injunctions when DOGE fails to respond, I suspect DOJ would be unable to staff all lawsuits, resulting in default judgements left and right.

What's with the long sleeved shirt in El Salvador? Is she covering up a new MAGA tat?

Our eldest is transgender and had our full support every step of the way. We did what every parent is supposed to do: the best we could, using the information available to us at the time. (Real info based on science.) What kind of emotional poverty is it to reject your child when they need you most?

So would she not complain to him because he wouldn't lift a finger to help her, or is it because she is, unlike millions of SS recipients, possessed of retirement savings way beyond her SS benefits?

Intentional destruction of someone else's property is already a crime. If some regretful Tesla owners want to donate their vehicles to such treatment, similar to the time-honored homecoming tradition of painting a junker with the rival team's name, problem solved.

Other than the "next year in Jerusalem," we have found that our haggadah, the one put out by the Central Conference of American Rabbis, remains relevant and very woke. This year perhaps we will try "next year in a more just and peaceful world"

I sent her a short thank you card after the first hearing. Quite surprised to get a note back from her. I am sure she is getting a bunch of hate mail and wanted to send something positive.

I hope the math is off because a lot of Americans are going to think $4600 to feed a kid for a year is too much.

Thank you from Herndon. Virginia, DC, and the US deserve a better funding bill.

Thank you, Senator Kaine. Americans deserve better than this funding bill. DC deserves better.

Thank you. The story of purim is hitting hard this year. We have a fool of a king with an evil antisemitic advisor who is trying to harm citizens who have done no wrong.
