It's like a VEEP episode where a couple of storylines come together.

I'm also seeing that the Aug 31st deadline will not be extended. Do we know the goal number of how many people still need to leave? I can't say I've seen one.

Here’s my PSA to always register with the embassy/consulate when traveling abroad (STEP program), even when in relatively “safe” countries. It’s harder than you’d think to track people in foreign countries - especially in the middle of a crisis/natural disaster/attack. But if you’ve registered, the USG/embassy has a starting point for where you should be and how to contact you.

Oh wow Stefan Lofven has been a survivor. The Swedish prime minister navigated seven years of fractious politics and fragile governing coalitions. He hung on as the coronavirus pandemic devastated his country — its response coming under increasingly harsh scrutiny — and he recaptured his seat after being ousted in June. Then on Sunday, with no warning, he resigned By Reis Thebault www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/08/23/sweden-prime-minister-resigns/

I just listened to most of Governor Hochul’s inaugural address and my first thoughts are I’m impressed. Im glad to hear she’s putting in reforms in regards to ethics and sexual harassment training.

I really, really hope she can get shit done and be cool about it at the same time. No more bullying and just get done the things that need doing. She seems very forward and upfront, but obviously I only have that single address to go off, so I guess we'll see.

He’s very liberal and from Brooklyn originally. He’s so excited for us to have an upstate governor and thinks it will be a really good thing because she has so many ties to upstate.

We are so often overlooked at the expense of NYC. I'm hoping she doesn't forget her roots and treats upstate as the differing entity from downstate that it is Also, Cuomo was just striped of his Emmy. Lolololol.
