“X” has been declining for months and has reached new lows. Pretty much everyone I follow is on Threads. I am done here Elon.

@Acyn The new Speaker says, “Now is not the time to talk about legislation.” Heard that one before.

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Mike Johnson attacks Roe v. Wade, insisting that if only women were compelled to bring more "able-bodied workers" into the world, Republicans wouldn’t need to slash Social Security and Medicare.

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

@RonFilipkowski Looks like he’s learning to do facial expressions. Like SBF had to do.

@NoLieWithBTC @BettyBowers And this is the only reason? Where’s your humanity Mr. Defense Minister?

@JerasIkehorn @PeterWSinclair Hakeem beats out Jordan in a virtually infinite array of ways. But according to biographic information, Jordan never took the bar exam. But who knows?

humanitarian aid finally starting to enter gaza.

too late: two weeks after the terror attacks, and since the bombing and siege started

too little: only 20 trucks approved.

but better than nothing. hopefully the beginning of regular and more significant food/water/medicine transit.

@RonFilipkowski Sure fooled them, eh?

@davidaxelrod He clearly did not want to go partisan or political. Wise choice.

@HerbieZiskend46 @djrothkopf @FoxNews But, I’m betting, not for long.

@daijoboo @davidrkadler These days, that would probably be okay. At least with large segments of “the base.”

@billmaher @JoeBiden Hey Bill. You know who’s outlived his usefulness?….

@BetsyCoffia Clean energy package, of course! Polluter pay bills would be terrific too, but may need to wait until Spring.
