WARREN: You and Kennedy are keeping these pharma deals secret. The companies say they are immaterial. You still want the American people to believe they are a great deal?

KLOMP: Billions of dollars have been saved in out-of-pocket transactions—

WARREN: Then show me the receipts.

IMO, the solution should not be to browbeat people into an old standard, but rather allow people to wear whatever they want. If someone can wear ducky pajamas in public, you can wear tailoring in any cut, color, and material. As options open up, dress can then be a source of pleasure.

Decided to play with Google's AI search follow up options, and it's now pretty sure I've been misdiagnosed with IBS but there's something far more serious wrong with me, and it offered to draft a conversation to have with my Dr to request tests and referrals.

The tech's circled back to Web MD, lol.

This isn’t a “sale”. Israel purchases these weapons with a fund created with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel. Congress can block this “sale.” VOTE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

Here's one reason to suspect Kash is lying his ass off about the new goat-fucking rules.

If the idea was to ensure that VICTIMS could work at FBI, you wouldn't have restrictions on people who were victimized as children.

CBO analysis: The Iran war has cost the U.S. $38 billion as of August 1.

That’s >$246 million per day, on average.

CBO says the war has raised inflation and global energy prices, citing reduced traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, and says it’ll raise interest rates on treasuries.

Anyway, I'm not a supporter of Macklemore, I'm just amused by Ed Sheeran's insistence that his failure to say or do anything at all political means he's not complicit in any ongoing injustices.

Not speaking up and not doing anything is textbook complicity, my guy.

Until 1974, no states recognized marital rape as a crime. It wasn’t until 1993 that it was considered a crime nationwide. You won’t be surprised to hear it is treated very differently than others forms of sexual assault, still, and this is an ongoing fight.

The reason Dems routinely press Patel & other Trump admin officials about whether armed federal law enforcement officers — whether it’s FBI agents, ICE or others — might be deployed to the polls this fall is because Trump has been agitating around the idea for years.

it seems to me most likely that the whole tour will be canceled now as a result of Kraft’s intervention injecting his own politics into the event and Sheeran’s concession to it

"I'm not complicit, I'm not complicit!" Ed Sheeran continues to insist as he slowly shrinks and transforms into a corn cob.

"And another thing; Please don't put in the newspaper I am complicit!"
Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine:

“I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”
