Starfish and coffee every morning

My 9 year old niece just blew through the Harry Potter books and the Magic Misfits series. What should she read next? #HarryPotter #BookRecommendations #fantasybooks #YAFantasy #youngreaders

As a police officer I carry 51 rounds of 9mm. Off duty I carry 6+7rounds with a small pistol. I saw the video of the Buffalo shooting. I shoot. I train. I would have no chance against that firepower.

I really wonder if, after this, McConnell is going to be able to hold his caucus together for relentless obstruction. This is an emotional reckoning for some Senate Republicans as they realize what they are part of, what they have permitted.
