Locally famous. Maybe statewide. You were pretty good with your guitar.
You'd have a daughter probably turning 22, 6 years older than you ever got. She'd dye her hair like you did: a new color every week. You would have gone to her graduation alone, or maybe with friends, so proud, your sharp heart burning.
It took me 30 years to find how we find each other even when we're not looking, even when we don't know who we are. We pull together bound by a gravity we won't acknowledge until we're out of this town, this school, this life.
I went to Pride today. You would have been there too. There was a great band. You would have loved it.
I hope the rainbows, the dyed hair, the love reaches back across 25 years and sits with you
The Senate minority leader discusses the backlash to his vote on the Republican spending bill, how he sees his role within the party and his
I've been "chewing" on Schumer's decision re the Monday vote and went looking for some understanding. Here is what I found. A shut down is a continuing resolution that Musk and Trump wanted. It would mean that only they could decide when and what to turn back on. It would make their takeover objective much easier. This is an interview in today's NYT. I'm satisfied that the Democratics made a good strategic decision. Crazy times we are living in. jbe
"Senator, a lot has happened since we spoke on Monday, and you’ve been at the center of most of it. In our first conversation, you said you had a plan going forward to fight Republicans, but then, only a few days later, it looks as if your own party is in a civil war. Do you think that you made the wrong choice? I don’t. I think it was a very, very difficult decision between two bad options, a partisan Republican C.R. [continuing resolution] and a shutdown that Musk and Trump wanted. For me, the shutdown of the government would just be devastating and far worse than the Republican C.R. Let me explain: A shutdown would shut down all government agencies, and it would solely be up to Trump and DOGE and Musk what to open again, because they could determine what was essential. So their goal of decimating the whole federal government, of cutting agency after agency after agency, would occur under a shutdown. Two days from now in a shutdown, they could say, well, food stamps for kids is not essential. It’s gone. All veterans offices in rural areas are gone. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. They’re not essential. We’re cutting them back. So it’d be horrible. The damage they can do under a shutdown is much worse than any other damage that they could do.
Isn’t this just — Wait, let me just finish, Lulu. It can last forever. There is no off ramp. One of the Republican senators told us: We go to a shutdown, it’s going to be there for six months, nine months, a year. And by then, their goal of destroying the federal government would be gone. And finally, one final point here, and that is that right now under the C.R., you can go to court and contest an executive order to shut something down. Under a shutdown, the executive branch has sole power. So, in conclusion, I knew this would be an unpopular decision. I knew that. I know politics. But I felt so strongly as a leader that I couldn’t let this happen because weeks and months from now, things would be far worse than they even are today, that I had to do what I had to do."
Finally after a few months we now have a official baldi refrence and just a new thing added to his desgin he wears eye shadow now since in JBE version of baldi’s basics he doesn’t have red lips / wear lipstick
