My kids are grownups in their thirties and doing very well. It’s just sometimes I just want them back home with us all the time. They were such interesting kids to raise . Very different from each other in nearly every way- made for interesting times but I loved that they were each their own person. Now they are pals and one of them is a fabulous aunt to the other’s baby. I just want them to be babies again right now. They win you over and then they leave. Kids. Damn.

Trump's plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give:

-The top 5 Wall Street banks a $4.1B tax cut.
-The top 5 drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The top 5 US oil companies a $2.5 billion tax cut.

In total, it's a $50B giveaway to the largest 100 US companies.

Atrocious.

It's a corporate giveaway that blows a hole in the federal budget and then sends cash to Saudi Arabia & China, who buy the treasury bonds that fund an exploding national debt.

It's also a giveaway to hostile foreign nations.

Bernie Sanders: Kamala Harris will struggle to win unless she speaks to the ‘long-neglected working class’

The independent senator from Vermont, who won New Hampshire’s 2016 Democratic presidential primary, said economic inequality is the top concern facing the country — and the new presumptive Democratic nominee needs to address it.

Over time, women have shared stories of feeling dismissed and ignored by health care professionals. Now the results of a national survey hint at just how serious the problem is.

One of the worst things Apple has done to the world is being the driving force for "thin" as primary marketing buzzword for personal electronics products.
As in this case, it often leads to fragile products, more subject to accidental damage, often with less repairability and possibly shorter life-spans. This may help the bottom line (disclosure, I own a small bit of Apple stock), but it contributes to E-waste and hurts the environment.

Nearly 2 wks after the #assassination attempt on #Trump, there’s still no official report from the Trump campaign or from state or federal govts about what caused the wound on his right ear.

This lack of clarity has left the issue unsettled & fueled speculation online about whether he was hit by a bullet or #shrapnel — or perhaps something else.

is there not a photo that shows the bullet plume right behind?

I imagine it was the bullet. I believe the better phrase would be 'dodged a bullet' rather than was shot.

But would accept a grazing as 'technically shot', it is pretty much the bare minimum for how shot someone could be though.

But before I do that, I wanna know: what makes a good interaction for you *as a trans person* between you and your doctor? What has set apart the good doctors/healthcare practitioners apart from the bad ones for you in the past?
