I just saw this shared on a FB group. Iโm heartbroken for this mom and it hits me really hard since my daughter is 5. The boy was in his booster seat. WTF! I admittedly didnโt know there are been something like 80 shootings around here.

Ok, the subject is obviously not funny, but as the parent of an inquisitive four year old, I can't say I'm surprised at the direction things took.

Scary but yeah a bit funny I always think if someone tried to take my kid theyโd bring them back in like 15 minutes. C has a literal ear piercing screech that could break glass

Louder for the people in the back In recent days, there has been a lot of talk about the Democratic Partyโs purportedly changing position on Israel. And reports have emerged contending that two opposing far-edge stances are the Democratsโ so-called real position โ one side asserting that Israel should no longer receive U.S. security assistance and another suggesting full-throated, uncritical support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, no matter how extreme his policies have become. Let me be clear: These oversimplified narratives couldnโt be further from the truth. Extreme positions on all sides of the political spectrum will always receive more coverage. But the vast majority of Democrats are thoughtful and considerate, and recognize nuance in a conflict shaded by centuries of complexity, suffering and pain, and this has always been the case. We know that the only solution is one where both Jewish and Palestinian people have the right to self-determination and security. We support the humanity of both parties in the conflict as well as small-d democratic values. And we stand resolutely against attacks on Israelโs right to exist. Really, this moment reflects a coming out of the silent majority of American Jews whose values are both liberal and supportive of Israel,ย as a recent Pew study indicates. Democrats Have Not Changed Their Position on Israel nyti.ms/3vbKdSf

This may be the same story on the proposed budget and I think it can be read. linkExcerpt - Biden seeks huge funding increases for education, health care and environmental protection in first budget request to Congress The decision to hold back many of Bidenโs campaign plans from his first budget proposal reflects the challenges facing the administration as it works to prioritize other spending expansions related to the U.S. economy and social welfare programs.

Haha I've definitely seen him in the park more than once, and he has had an aide with him with a really large sign that says something like "meet new york senator chuck s!" Maybe that's common in DC, I just like him popping out of a car like, alright, let's take some photos!"

Haha that pic of Chuck with the sunglasses and his doofy smile is adorable.
But the lack of masks is giving me heart palpitations. Itโs my go to response of seeing no masks. Like omggggg. I KNOW itโs fine (per official CDC guidelines) but I just cannot.
