- Came in generally 15 minutes late, - used the side door so Lumberg didn’t see me, - Forgot to include a new cover page on my TPS report, - Met with the Bobs, - Spaced out for about an hour. It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that I don’t care.

Just some math: $5000 x 260,000,000 comes out to around 1.3T. So that is how much DOGE needs to find in “waste fraud and abuse” in order to cut checks to adult Americans. Remember the last time we cut huge checks, we ended up with massive inflation.

Had a dentist apt this morning. Needed a filling. I hate the experience of the dentist. All of it. Not the person or the profession, the experience. Don’t mess with my face. But even more, I hate that 6 hours later I need to take ibuprofen because my whole face hurts after the numbing shot wore off.

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.
