A “national divorce” is happening on many issues as red state women can’t get a legal abortion, trans gender children (and soon adults) also won’t be able to obtain treatment, red state schoolchildren see bare library shelves and are taught white-washed history, and of course millions of low income Americans can’t get medical care except at the ER because their states didn’t expand Medicaid.

According to federal campaign finance filings, Sinema’s campaign committees have paid a combined $307,000 in security expenses to an Arizona-registered entity called TOA Group LLC.
And official documents show that TOA Group LLC has just one officer: Vrindivan Gabbard Bellord—best known as the sister of, and occasional spokesperson for, Tulsi Gabbard. She appears to have no other clients aside from the Arizona senator.
Got a leaky pipe under the house where the refrigerator line was tapped into the copper. Plumber says I have dead rats and rat poop there too. So I’ll have to call a rodent disposal before he’ll go back in to fix it.

The anti-vaccination movement has its roots in an old religious tradition centered around 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, which reads:
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
The immediate context of the statement is to chastise the Corinthians for being sexual libertines, but some Christians have taken it to its logical extreme and refuse to ingest any kind of “unnatural” substance. Vaccines quickly fell under that purview; and while opposition to the COVID vaccine also has a political component to it, as does everything these days, there is a lot of religious fervor around being “pureblood,” as they put it.

Years ago, I used to make an annual summer drive up to the Adirondacks, Lake George, Lake Champlain, Rutland, Vermont, etc. I found it interesting to check out various French and Indian War/7 Years War and Revolutionary War sites.
While up there, I found a brand of maple syrup titled “Northern Comfort”. I am not an expert in Maple syrup but, it was good when I had to give a gag gift.
There used to also be tasting kits with samples of all the different grades of maple syrup.
Something I have not yet tried, but have always meant to was “Sap Beer”. Made, iirc, of the last maple sap that was not used for making syrup.
Also of note, a lot of maple syrup used to be farmed in the Pennsylvania Appalachians and then shipped north to bottlers in Vermont and Canada.

Minnesota State Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson (R-1st District) included two derogatory terms while defending the GOP against allegations of bigotry during a hearing on legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants in The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes to apply for Class-D driver’s licenses and state identification cards.
The Democratic-controlled State House of Representatives passed the bill, which says that “applicants would have to pass a knowledge and behind-the-wheel test to be eligible for a license,” on January 30th, according to Minnesota Public Radio.
MPR noted that “some GOP lawmakers voiced concerns about the licenses not having some designation indicating that they were non-citizen licenses. And they brought forward amendments that would more clearly indicate on a license that someone was not a U.S. citizen and was not authorized to vote.”
When the State Senate began debating the initiative, Johnson attempted to deflect criticisms of Republican opposition.

Assuming that the rat report was true and not just an excuse by the plumber to do work he did not want to do. I would suspect that you will need to address the rat issue anyway. For health and rodent damage prevention reasons.
It would probably be kinder to be upfront with the plumbers and see if they will work with you about the leak while you arrange to address rat issue.

Certain cable networks were broadcasting the testimony live; was somewhat surprised since I didn’t think that Murdaugh would attract the same level of audience as OJ did almost 30 years ago. But with modern media and the current audience interest in crime dramas, especially the Netflix series on the Murdaugh murders , maybe it’s not unexpected that the live testimony of the wealthy individual accused of these heinous crimes would garner high ratings, even among those outside his home state of South Carolina.

Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman are joining the fourth and final season of The Umbrella Academy, ET has exclusively learned. The two actors, who are married in real life, will play “a mild-mannered married couple named Jean and Gene, who are college professors,” Mullally told ET’s Will Marfuggi while attending the premiere for Party Down season 3 on Wednesday in Los Angeles.“I mean, the deal’s not quite closed but let’s just pretend it is,” she said, revealing they start filming “in a couple of weeks.”
The revelation comes after reported rumors that the two former Parks and Recreation stars were joining the Netflix series and are among several new roles being added to season 4. And just two weeks ago, the main cast, including Elliot Page and Tom Hooper, posted a photo of themselves as they reunited for a table read as they get to work on the upcoming episodes.

re: #4 Dave In Austin
As a follow up from downstairs. Who has experience with this stuff?
Just looking at it raises my blood sugar level!
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its preliminary report on the Ohio freight train derailment involving thousands of gallons of toxic chemicals, and the (preliminary) conclusion is what was expected: a wheel bearing that overheated. The wheel bearing, which was visible as a glow on security footage 20 miles before the derailment, measured at 253 degrees above the air temperature when it passed a sensor east of East Palestine. That triggered an alarm, and the train’s crew began trying to stop the train. But by then it was too late. At a sensor 20 miles earlier (so, not far from the location of the security footage), the wheel bearing had measured at 103 degrees above air temperature, below the 170-degree threshold for an alarm. But 10 miles before that, the wheel bearing had been just 38 degrees above air temperature, so it was rapidly heating already in addition to the visible signs of a problem on the security footage.

Trump may be questioned in lawsuits by ex-FBI employees
Two former senior FBI employees who allege they were targeted for retribution after FBI’s Trump-Russia probe may narrowly probe Trump, FBI Director Christopher Wray
A federal judge on Thursday ordered that former president Donald Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray can be questioned under oath by attorneys for two former senior FBI employees who allege in separate lawsuits that they were illegally targeted for retribution after the FBI investigated Russia’s interference in the 2020 presidential election.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of Washington came in consolidated lawsuits against the FBI and Justice Department by former senior FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
Strzok seeks reinstatement and back pay over what he alleges was his unfair termination for criticizing then-president Trump. Page alleges officials unlawfully released a trove of politically charged text messages she exchanged with Strzok, with whom she was having an affair.

My wife and I are openly talking about moving to California or possibly even out of the country soon even though it would mean uprooting our middle school aged kids. It is getting that kind of scary here.
Its an interesting question.
But for a couple of good decisions, I would probably not exist.
Part of my family moved from Ukraine to the US prior to World War 1. Many of those who remained died in the pogroms, WW1, the Russian Civil War, the Stalin’s Great Terror, WW2, or the Holocaust. But with the exception of maybe 5, we do not know with certainty what happened to any in particular.
I do think that the US is large and with a diverse culture. If things get uniformly bad here, they are likely far worse most everywhere else. So I do not see any current long term alternatives to the US. Assuming I want to remain true to myself.
One thing I try and remember is that in much of this country one can still pursue one’s own life without being hostage to some idiot and their stupid decisions.
Let’s be very clear: I did not “stop by” your office.

re: #103 calochortus
I must be in the minority. We are materially comfortable. I wish to stay that way. I like to think the best way of continuing my lifestyle is to see that other people are also financially secure and educated. If that means raising my taxes for education, or maintaining infrastructure, or giving support to people who just want to have food and shelter for their family and a future for their kids, that’s fine. Happy people with a good futures are far less likely to mug me in an alleyway or whatever.
I should qualify that I’m describing a kind of person that presents as centrist but then goes reactionary, as a counter-proposal to a model in which “centrists” are all insincere and then reveal themselves as far-right.
I’d call you some kind of left because you acknowledge systems and the needs for organizing principles something beyond capitalism and individualism, but you might not sort values the same way I do. In this day and age, merely suggesting that crime is downstream of material needs is…radical compared to how the system-as-it-functions describes criminals and punishes crime. The Left/center/right thing is just a dogshit way to talk about politics; the heuristic is so convenient it’s a struggle to create a multi-factor language that is generally accepted.
I mean, one of the major limits of political discussion is that most people assume that the status quo is a a state rather than a process: the “normal” is not a thing continuously generated through reproduction—where effort and resources go. From right or center to left of center, there’s a lot of policy positions that simply assume perfectly spherical “normal” people, and you see a lot of agitation if it’s pointed out that “normal” incorporates disadvantage and suffering by individualizing it. Crime or poverty or discrimination are not a byproduct of the process that keeps “normal” going, they’re anomalies and therefore do not reflect on the how the status quo reproduces itself.

… the East Palestine disaster also presents an opportunity for the GOP’s populist wing to further break from party orthodoxy and target corporate America. In this case, the easy target is Norfolk Southern, the railroad conglomerate that owned the derailed freight train. Saurabh Sharma, the president of American Moment, a public policy organization that aims to influence the next generation of professional conservatives to become more populist, said, “I think that this tragedy that happened in East Palestine is an opportunity for Republicans that have been looking for opportunities to distinguish themselves from the neoliberal set in the party to do so.”

Certain cable networks were broadcasting the testimony live; was somewhat surprised since I didn’t think that Murdaugh would attract the same level of audience as OJ did almost 30 years ago. But with modern media and the current audience interest in crime dramas, especially the Netflix series on the Murdaugh murders , maybe it’s not unexpected that the live testimony of the wealthy individual accused of these heinous crimes would garner high ratings, even among those outside his home state of South Carolina.
It’s the melodrama! There’s so much going on with that whole case it’s stunning.

You don’t need a feasibility study to know why this is a ridiculous idea. Arkansas is inland—they would have to launch over somebody during the more dangerous early boost phase. That’s why Kennedy and Vandenburg are on the coast! Also, being somewhat more northerly than Florida, they’d get less natural boost from the Earth’s rotation assuming an easterly launch. (Hello, Atlanta from reentering first stages) If they do decide to avoid nearby cities, that greatly limits allowable launch azimuths and achievable orbital inclinations.
Waste of time and money to even consider it.
