@SchnuckMarkets Your store on South 9th/d’town StL smells of sewer gas every time you walk in. It’s been this way awhile. This has been my go-to store for many years, but not if this keeps up. That this could go unaddressed doesn’t instill confidence in a place that sells food.

@SLMPD This bus was parked here a few months back for weeks, taking up 3 parking spaces, and nobody did anything about it. Now they’re back. I live here and I’m not allowed to just take over parking spaces like that. Whose nephew is this? (St Charles St., between 13th and 14th)

@stlcsb St.Chas between 13th and 14th. Some months back, this garbage-y bus parked itself here for weeks, and the city just let them do it. Now they’re back. I live here and I’m not allowed to just park my car on the street endlessly without getting tickets. Whose nephew is this?

… and here we have the house speaker essentially saying to the courts, don’t do your duty in terms of judicial review. While Trump, who has 0 understanding of the constitution, is complaining about courts “dictating” to him. This is how it starts, folks.

What a useful thing for a president to publicly say. #NotNormal

God knows there are bigger issues at the @WashingtonPost right now, but when I browse their new opinion section online, with the previous photo headshots of the columnists replaced with INCREDIBLY UGLY drawings of them, I think, "Did @nytopinion sneak in and do this?"...
