I am so over people. Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory. The amount of people saying that the bridge collapse was a set up or terrorism is going to make me scream. My favorite are the people saying the ship was hacked... but taking out that bridge wasn't the best target. There's a coal distributor there, oil/fuel distributor there, Annapolis anchorage is in that area.

I really hope the Dems go hard on messaging with this.

Well fuck her.
ETA: I went ahead and read the article and her comments since my above comment was reacting to the tweet/headline alone.
She's still wrong and wants to study how sunlight can improve fertility...

Yeah, she seems to be of the Marianne Williams' school of manifest/think your way to health variety and I am not here for it. She also (briefly?) dated Elon Musk so her judgement is extremely suspect imho.

This really is such a sad component of this. It broke my heart when they started listing the countries of origin.

I hope they put politics aside and do the right thing. When the bridge collapsed in MN in 2007, the House unanimously passed funding to rebuild it 2 days later, then the Senate passed it by UC. I know things are politically worse now, but 2007 was no picnic either. Let’s hope this Congress does the right thing. We also got fed funding to rebuild 95 last year, so fingers crossed that they pass this 🤞🏻 It's times like these that I'm glad Joe is in charge. And Secretary Mayor Pete as well

And Secretary Mayor Pete as well We stan Secretary Mayor Pete! 100%. He frustrated me a little during his presidential campaign bc he felt wishy-washy at times or trying really hard to be "moderate," but I adore that guy and absolutely think he will be POTUS one day.

I will also cape for Baltimore! No large city is without its problems but Baltimore is awesome! And beautiful. 10/10 would recommend it for a long weekend getaway. Their children's museum is wonderful, there's excellent food, and so much history.

elle, I keep reading about how the economy is good and inflation isn't so bad... say all the pundits. Someone forgot to tell my wallet and my bank account tho cause it sure feels bad, thanks. And WTF with the interest rates. Greed is mostly what's hitting the wallet. Every business seems to have decided that if we could bear the price of supply chain issues in pandemic then we the regular old public can bear even higher prices than that. And we are paying. Business profits are sky high. I dont Blame the small businesses part as so msny went under snd struggled thru pandemic but the big businesses making millions billions in profit. It's not cost of labor, cost of materials or cost of interest rates. For big businesses its they want big big big profits. Consumers have to stop buying the stuff for prices to drop. But so much is well you can stop buying a place to live or foods so then what? Govt needs to tax those high profits. And then at least govt debt will decrease a bit or allow more funding for services that provide humans the basics we need

For the record, I understand the reasoning. I still miss the funny signs while stuck in construction traffic.
I am relieved this administration is in charge at this time because the last one would made this entire tragedy a million times worse.
