If you change your name and department letterhead to "Boston Tea Party Brian" it will cost a few hundred million, but think of the leverage that will give you on the battlefield!

55% my family is "mad as hell and we'll do something about it once we share this Facebook meme" and 40% are still convinced Obama is sneaking around our local HEB raising food prices.βΉοΈ And they wonder why I'm always "coming down with something" the week before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Over the summer my teen got taller than me. I love the fleeting novelty of looking up at him, lifting my eyes to meet his in a grocery aisle, or when handling him his backpack. I'll get used to it; 14 years of looking down into his face will fade to "photo memories", but right now is magical.

Noticing this too. Last summer restaurants were crowded and everywhere had a "Help Wanted" sign.

Topsy-Turvy Day in politics! AOC standing next to Chip Roy demanding an end to congressional stock trading. MTG, shoulder to shoulder with Ro Khanna, spitting absolute truth in defense of #EpsteinVictims. Can we make it a hat-trick of Susan Collins & Elizabeth Warren straight up not giving a fEck?

Huntsville is a charming city and would suffice for a very expensive (ahem, deficit hawks?) but logistically doable move by Space Force. Turning a red district in Colorado purple may be another unintended consequence of an administration full of those. #spaceforce #huntsville #deficithawks #waste

He'd better be alive. Pray he is. We need him alive longer, to let him become too despised to be canonized! If he were to kick-off now, he'd reach saint status, and his horrible agenda would be mourned as: "He was so close to making America great...if only he had one more week." #Trumpisdead

A place we stayed in St. Louis had the guest laundry room and workout room in the same area. They had a cutesy name for it, like 'bubbles and squats or soap and lift', but what was most striking were the humid, cloying wafts of detergent smell mixing with the off-gassing of gym mats.

I've been griping at them about this for years. When I get a fundraising "survey" from the DNC [et al] it's worth the stamp for the petty thrill of returning it with "stop all the texts" written across it (in Sharpie)!

Lock him up. He bonds out within a few hours, then after many moons the case is dismissed. In the meantime, Beto goes on talks shows and then writes a book about the experience. Ken "Running away from the Devil" Paxton always thinks these things through to the fullest.
