You don't have to be a fan of ' investigation to find it bizarre that the entire basis of this "coordination" claim is that Willis made a routine request to committee to see their records (& we don't even know if the committee responded).

NY Magazine's Eric Levitz:

Imo, it's true that many voters aren't content with slowing #inflation; they want all prices to fall (which would require a depression).

This said, we have actually seen straight up deflation for many high-salience items. The 34% drop in the cost of health insurance seems especially under-discussed.

Think for one moment. In every single war that America has fought, we have never asked for land afterward—except for enough to bury the Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom

6 composite photos of Dick Van Dyke (& me, my class) in black box theater of public perform. arts high school where I taught/directed Comedy class/shows. Dick wanted to see us in action, loved it, asked me to write/direct his annual theater prod. to "make it funnier."

I couldn't believe Dick Van Dyke asked ME to make HIM funnier. Did it for 2 yrs, finally had to quit due to time conflicts.

He visited us, played w/ us, had a ball! I'm the redhead in blue jeans. Here we go!

Well, great.

A small group of protesters (anti-Israel) (maybe 30-50?) just very loudly marched up our very quiet street blasting horns and carrying signs accusing my Dem. Rep. of supporting genocide (she doesn't). She lives 3 houses up from us, and now they're standing outside her house making a racket.
