Grassley is running for an 8th term. Doesn't he have some pigeons to retire with? He can barely complete a coherent sentence in committee. Such arrogance.

Grassley is running for an 8th term. Doesn't he have some pigeons to retire with? I look forward to all the think pieces of how he should retire and how irresponsible he is being like Feinstein. I mean, I totally think Feinstein should retire but I hate how it’s always complaints about her and none of the old men.

Not sure I saw this anywhere here, but there's a recall on Boppy pillows news.yahoo.com/boppy-lounger-recall-parents-urged-154518442.htmlexcerpt The Colorado-based company found the Boppy Original Newborn Loungers, Boppy Preferred Newborn Loungers and Pottery Barn Kids Boppy Newborn Loungers hazardous, stating that “infants can suffocate if they roll, move, or are placed on the lounger in a position that obstructs breathing, or roll off the lounger onto an external surface.”

Tell me you didn’t talk to women for this article without telling me you didn’t talk to women.
Also, this sounds like a mens problem, leave us out of it.

I'm laughing at that headline when this is the closing para: "Ford writes that 'the overwhelming majority of millennial women breadwinners don’t believe the men in their lives should feel emasculated by the gap in their income.' Now they’re waiting for the overwhelming majority of Americans in general to catch up."

Lol my gen X husband would love for me to out earn him. willow I hate that we have to have these drills too. The teachers were really good with these when my kids were little. They said it was in case of bad weather or a wild animal. It’s weird to realize this is a standard thing. We didn’t have any of this when I was in school. Columbine was after I graduated.

Ha, my H and I are basically neck and neck in our gross incomes right now. We both work for local government agencies so our salaries will increase roughly the same until I get promoted again in 3ish years (promotions are based very strictly on years of experience) and then I will probably start to outearn him steadily. If either of us went to private sector though, we'd probably give each other a run for our money (ha) on who would outearn who at that point. Though if I sold my soul to big law, I'd easily make much more than him. And he wouldn't care a bit. Well, he'd care that I'd be working til 10pm every night and on the weekend and never have time to actually LIVE, so ya know. But the money part he'd be ok with, lol.

I think it was an Ally Wong comedy show when she was talking about making more than her husband and she said "Show me a man who's upset his wife is making more than him, and I'll show you a man who doesn't like FREE MONEY". My H would love it. More money he didn't have to work for? Yes please.

I think Grassley has been old since I’ve been alive. Term limits, folks, term limits.
In other news, China has banned all cryptocurrency transactions. Prices are already taking a dip.

Grassley is running for an 8th term. Doesn't he have some pigeons to retire with? Dude. He was old when I was there. Time to move on! Evil never dies, byjove.

The situation is Collierville is another heartbreaker. The phrase "run, hide, fight" literally gives me a visceral reaction and makes me tear up. Why do we live this way? We got a letter home yesterday from kindergarten that they plan their safety drills for the year and it hit home for me. I knew this was going to be a thing once my kid started K but just reading about their safety plan made me so sad. I hate that this is the reality for our kids. This morning my DD told me they had their first fire drill and I got a sinking feeling knowing she will have to do active shooter drills in K. I pray the school gives parents a heads up first.

Mayorkas: there are no people left in the encampent under the bridge I Del Rio. We know that the images from the area were horrific. We immediately notified our inspector General. The agents in question are on desk duty and will not engage with any migrants.

The CBP agents involved have been reassigned to admin duties, the investigation is not concluded, Sec Mayorkas will publicly release the finding. The Administration will not tolerate mistreatment of migrants,
They have deployed food drinking water, portable toilets, Red Cross and World Food Kitchen are onsite

Mayorkas: USAID is delivering $500m of on-the-ground aid to repatriated Haitians
Title 42 is a public health law and not an immigration policy. It has been used through the entire pandemic and was not applied specifically to migrants from Haiti

Economic need does not qualify for asylum.
Except economic need creates the violence they are typically fleeing
