I want to get to Boston

I mean, I found the problem right there

Shutdown? Or no shutdown?

Tim Scott suspended his campaign for president. My 2-time Trump voting mom was pulling for him. I wonder who she'll back now. She doesn't want Trump again, but surely would vote for him a third time over Biden.

The main story is on the Israel Hamas conflict.

Shutdown? Or no shutdown?

Probably a short one. I’d wager House Reps will vote on whatever the Senate sends over, though primarily will get passed by Dem votes.

The real intrigue will be another ouster or not?!

this is cool for my city, i wasn't even aware this was a distinct possibility.

When all the ballots were tallied on Friday, St. Paul, Minnesota, voters had done something remarkable: They had elected the first all-female council in the city’s history.

According to the Star Tribune, the incoming council is historic for its youth and racial diversity, too. All seven members are younger than 40, and six are women of color. The City Council has not seen this much change at one time since the 1990s.

I don’t know why that’s an of course…. He didn’t break into song about kicking his ass.

"We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here,” doesn't sound so much like a fist fight more like the bonobo way of settling conflict

Getting an Itemized Hospital Bill Is Basically Impossible

How a minor bike accident and a few stitches turned into thousands of dollars in medical bills and a months-long quest for a straight answer from somebody—anybody.

www.thedailybeast.com

US law requires them to give me an itemized bill, but Dignity Health aka CommonSpirit Health, one of the largest non-profit healthcare facility providers in the country, has pulled out every stop possible to not deliver what they are required to provide by law. Among the tricks they pulled (described in detail in the article) are:

• Not sending me the bill after I requested it
• After requesting it again, sending me a form to request the itemized bill I’d already requested
• Making sure that the form didn’t tell you how to return it to them (no return address to send it to, no details of any kind about what to do with the form)
• Having a phone system that repeatedly hung up on me
• Giving me an address to send the form to that does not exist.

The only surprising thing about this is to think that Biden's mental decline is somehow not present in Trump who can't even string a sentence together and makes even more verbal blunders than Biden. We literally have two geriatrics with increasingly evident cognitive problems who are leading the race to be president. Not to mention one is unhinged and might go to prison. The fall of America is too insane for fiction.

2024 poll: Trump takes lead amid growing concerns about Biden's age and competence

A full 54% of Americans say that Biden, the oldest Oval Office occupant in U.S. history, no longer has “the competence to carry out the job of president.”
