Which is your favorite local police officer that Stefanie deals with in the #IntrepidTravelerMysteries ? Lt. Moustakis in #Crete? Inspector Necci in #Venice? or DI Jenae Franklin-Ross in #Bermuda?

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims? Am I getting this right?

@MerriamWebster Hahahaha

@amyklobuchar It was perfect.

A good way to end the night and begin the day. And they had us at “hello!” Thanks for a great run Stephen Colbert!

Stephen Colbert's The Late Show raised nearly $2.5 million dollars for the World Central Kitchen. Colbert: "If you, much like the FCC, have been paying close attention to my show, then you know we've been auctioning off all kinds of great Late Show memorabilia and selling commemorative The Last Show t-shirts, all to raise money for the international aid organization, World Central Kitchen. And I'm excited to say that we got a great response on all of our auctions. And here to accept our donation is the founder of World Central Kitchen. Please welcome Chef José Andrés, everybody. "José, we want to give you our donation on, you know, one of those giant checks, but it's hard to find a bank that will cash one of those. So, instead, we have decided to present our donation tonight on the world's smallest check. And it's too small to read anything on the check, so I will instead now slip it underneath a microscope. "And the total is $2,497,144.15."

@HeatherWeidner1 😂

Yes, or the soap dispenser...

Donald Trump ran to bring prices down, grow the economy, put more money in our pockets. Instead, what is he doing? Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, China? When you run on something, you better deliver. He hasn't delivered, and it's going to come back to haunt him.

Why? Just why?

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

@urbanponds101 @GWmag So there's hope for mine.
