I knew about the last one on Rt 1, but not about the high speed chase one. I was at the UC in the shopping plaza where that 3rd one happened and I was like do I really to be going there?

My kid is school age but he's turning 7 this summer and certainly not able to be home alone or just entertain himself all day. My H WFH permanently but my kid would be bored AF if we didn't put him in camps. I'm mostly annoyed that I have to make lunches like SweetPotato said, and also have to do another pick up/drop off situation. I don't even want to think of what it will be like when I have to pay for 3 of them in summer camps in a couple years, ugh. My 3rd grader, who eats school lunch during the year, will be packing her own lunch for the weeks of camp that require it. I think it's a task most elementary school kids can handle. If she wanted to eat home lunch during the year, I'd have her pack lunch then, too. I think that's perfectly reasonable. I told DD yesterday that next year (2nd grade) she will be responsible for packing her own lunch (with supervision)

Today is the last day of preschool for DS2 and DD's last day is Thur. We start mid-Aug to let out before Memorial Day. I'm ready to sleep in (a little)!

MH and I went to Indianapolis last weekend to see a comedian, and on Sat we went to the Benjamin Harrison home. The tour guide talked about how the campaign season only lasted a few months (July-Nov) and potential candidates didn't go to the conventions, which is where each party chose their candidate, because it wasn't a good look to seem like you really wanted the nomination. They didn't really travel or hold rallies either. Can't we just go back to that? 😭😭😭

I swear I read last night that Desantis was waiting for the FL legislature to pass a bill that would allow him to run for president without having to resign as governor. Did that magically happen in like, 24 hours?

If he’s doing all this shit as Governor, just imagine what he’d try at the President level.

Sure feels like all that stoking of rage toward institutions is coming home to roost in really dangerous ways

Sometimes Playbook is good
"On one hand, the launch might more accurately be called a Twitter Safe Space event: Musk has previously expressed support for DeSantis, and their conversation will be moderated by DeSantis donor and Musk confidante DAVID SACKS. It’s also worth noting that only about one-fifth of Americans are on Twitter, and more of them are Democrats than Republicans."

Leadership is in a tizzy about the looming debt default. We are pretty insulated from gov shutdowns, but I'm not as sure about this scenario.

House Ethics has closed its investigation into Eric Swalwell without further action. From Rep Swalwell:
"“Nearly 10 years ago I assisted the FBI in their counterintelligence investigation of a campaign volunteer,” Swalwell said in a statement. “The case and my assistance were briefed to Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and two years later, Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, re-appointed me to the House Intelligence Committee. Neither Speaker questioned my actions nor politicized my cooperation...It’s time to move on. The bipartisan House Ethics Committee had this case for over two years. They had the power of subpoena. They received answers from me in response to requests for information. Today, they are closing this matter and did not make a finding of any wrongdoing.”
