Speaking of civically engaged moms, I went ham yesterday at a neighborhood traffic study meeting last night because the dumb consultant the city hired didn’t follow up on my request from last meeting to coordinate the new traffic calming measures with the safe routes to schools program. Because, you know, maybe we want to put high visibility crosswalks on the route that the kids walk to the elementary school.
I asked if they followed up and he tap danced around it. And I had to say “you didn’t answer my question. Yes or no did you contact the elementary school?”
I have no regrets.

I turned bright red and wanted to vomit, but then lots of olds came up to me after and thanked me so I felt better. This one sweet woman was giving me encouraging nods while I was speaking which helped. I was respectful but frustrated. This middle aged white dude legit rage stroked, yelled at one of the consultants that he was going to get her fired and stormed out. So at least I’m not that guy.

It was straight out of parks and rec last night. Including the city employee that kept his messenger bag on the whole 2 hours including when he was presenting.

I’m officially now on a town committee full of old white people (and long time participants in this stuff). It’s painful and after last night’s meeting I concluded that they are going to meet and brainstorm and put absolutely nothing into action (we are tasked with improving civic participation). Im also planning out how to call out the chairman on his treatment of the local lady that comes and questions everything and has out of the box things to say. Because he’s just plain rude to her and it pisses me off.

The orange one and air Force one are at the Orlando airport today. We're being told possible issues flying out this afternoon. That orange fuck better not cost me time getting home tonight 😑 He's holding a rally at The Villages today. Originally the event was titled 'Protecting Medicare from Socialist Destruction’ 🤔🤪 but the WH changed it to ‘Protecting and Improving Medicare for our Nation’s Seniors.' Feels relevant

Guys, not politics related but after a slow (so slow) renovation, we just sold our house!! Squeeeeeeeeee! RajahMD not sure if you are a fan of the local bball team (to your hospital) but the new assistant coach bought my house! Uh, I am most definitely a fan. That is way cool! I'm obsessed with our team. One of our players made it on a team in the NFL (he's good at basketball and football), and I always pick him up on my fantasy team, even though he doesn't play much. But he's my boo, and I just love when they mention our school. Makes me giggle every time, since we don't have a football team.

For those that are more visual than audio. CNN is rerunning their special called Tricky Dick tomorrow. It’s a base to watch if you want info on Watergate

I also started listening to slow burn and am on episode two. It’s so interesting to be listening to it as all of this insanity unfolds.

Can't wait to see what this morning brings. But he needs to wait until I finish reading the doc drop from Schiff.

I feel like it's been ages since we've heard anything from her or one of the Squad.

She’s been discussing legislation and stuff, but it hasn’t gotten much attention given everything else.

SCOTUS to hear LA abortion case.
The Louisiana case would leave ONE clinic open. It wants drs to have hospital admitting privileges. This is going to be big.

Happy Birthday, Rutherford B. Hayes, who once dropped this gem:
"No person connected with me by blood or marriage will be appointed to office."
If only, Rutherford. If only.

They are accomplishing what they wanted. They wanted to push the debate of abortion to SCOTUS so that they can begin the process of Roe Vs. Wade. I feel another pink hat protest coming. And I am so down for it.

Interesting thread about the "eat the babies" woman who was at AOC's town hall. I've never heard of the LaRouchies.
