Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.
Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

My father always told me:
"If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company.
Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves."
And only recently have I realised that this principle works everywhere.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Don't mess with librarians! The staff the Library of Congress refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their general counsel. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥
We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

In recent weeks, I've received a series of calls from purported reps of my state's health department, purportedly to conduct a survey on health of state residents. They have left voice messages inviting me to call them. I have my doubts about whether this is really the state. But even if I knew it to be so, I'd try to resist the temptation to tell them in all the spectacular fury I can muster that my health is none of the state's damned business.

If the calls really were from the state, a request for the calls to stop would probably work, although they might try to persuade regarding supposed benefits of the survey. But I've posted comment here before about my working theory - that tele-fraudsters have not one but two aims. First, to exploit victims for some time of financial gain, and second, as a means of harassment and demoralization.

The Trump administration has scaled back from prosecuting white-collar crimes, including foreign bribery, money laundering, and crypto violations. A February executive order halted enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, arguing it hurts US companies overseas. Since then, the Justice Department has dropped or paused multiple cases and Attorney General Pam Bondi has removed top career prosecutors and shifted focus to drug cartels and fraud against the government.
