Let me make sure I've got this right. She proposed an expansion of the Child Tax Credit to $6,000. She proposed $25,000 in down-payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. She proposed expanding Medicare to offer home care services for the elderly. She was part of an administration that presided over the best economy in 50 years. Her opponent, meanwhile, simulated fellatio and said immigrants were eating dogs. But *she's* the one who didn't focus enough on the economy? #Politics #Election2024

Guys (and everyone else), please listen to her. It's infuriating that, in 2024, this needs to be said, but she said it beautifully and powerfully. I know she doesn't want it, but I'd have voted for her for President in a heartbeat. She's so good at this. #Politics #Democracy #MichelleObama #Election #Election2024 #VoteBlue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt9fgCqMfO0

We're in Freeport, Maine, less than 20 miles from the mass shooting in Lewiston. Guess what we heard for half an hour tonight as we prepared dinner? Loud gunfire. This has gone on for years. It occurs near our tourist town's businesses, homes, and walking trails. The Freeport police and Town Council know about it but refuse to stop it. I need a favor: Could you please repost this? I want to put pressure on town officials and force them to end this. Thanks, folks. #Maine #Lewiston

@YoWatShiinaEsq Ah, Cooper's Oxford. We haven't bought it for a while, but it's awfully good.

@YoWatShiinaEsq That sounds perfect. Savor every bite.

@YoWatShiinaEsq A good apple pie will do that.

@YoWatShiinaEsq I agree. A perfect combination. If you like apples, that is.

@YoWatShiinaEsq We don't have particularly American culinary tastes (Asian food is more our speed), but I love apple pie.

@YoWatShiinaEsq @dianemagras Thank you so much. You, too.

@YoWatShiinaEsq @dianemagras Thank you so much. And, oh, my, was that a delicious meal. We have it all the time, but it's one of our favorites. That was my request for my birthday meal.

Tonight's birthday dinner, courtesy of the brilliant @dianemagras: ginger tofu on a bed of sushi rice, with sesame broccoli, carrots, and miso soup. We eat well. #Vegetarian
