According to reporting at the Daily Beast, the new Speaker Mike Johnson does not have any assets, not even a bank account. linkHow is that even possible? How did he adopt a teenager with no assets? I read somewhere they didn't actually adopt him because of the "financial hurdles"

So, uh, I seem to be running for precinct chair in my county's dem party. Back in July I started volunteering more, as I have given up on dating, and I joined the county's democratic women's club. That lead to me joining my city's democrats, which has now become me running for precinct chair. Feels like I'm just riding a wave. Except now I have to go door to door to canvas and get signatures. Which may be my biggest hurdle. Congratulations! Collecting signatures for myself was a big hurdle too, but it ended up being easier than expected. I collected most of mine at public events. The hardest part ended up being getting up the initial courage to talk to strangers

Not the flex he thinks it is. I believe Michael Oher recently won his lawsuit against the conservatorship. It went on for over 20 years! Good for him!

The world has always been shit but it feels more and more like things are getting worse somehow. Governments everywhere seem to have just completely lost the plot and I despair for the future.

So apparently Jr was a dumpster fire on the stand even though he thinks he did well and republican strategists are like WHAT THE FUCK, and I'm delighted. When you hitch your wagon to dumb and dangerous you reap what you sow.

Not that she's any less evil than the rest.

*trigger warning*
There was a mass shooting less than 15 minutes from my house Friday night.
5 injured (4 of them children) and an 11 year old killed.
22 rounds fired into a group of children playing outside of their homes. The city seems to be writing it off as a drive-by with what appears to be very little effort to find the shooter, likely because it's a lower income neighborhood.
I hate this.

This seems like an extremely terrible idea. Wtf Germany. To be fair, she's getting tons of criticism for it, with everyone saying it's like going back to the Stasi of East Germany. The criticism is from both the left (who are against the government infringing on people's rights like this) and the right (who don't want the government calling their landlords or bosses telling them they're going to right-wing demonstrations or whatever).

Oh thank you for the lot numbers, the article I was sent only had the "Use by" date. These are a staple in our house so will definitely double check when I get home tonight.

I just sent the lot numbers to MH to check since we have 2 unopened bags in the freezer. The article makes it sound like they were only sent to several states but better check anyway.
