Am I the only one who has a mother that constantly tells me how smart and capable I am but then proceeds to treat me as if I'm really dumb?

It does not help our state or our country when our government is shut down, which is why I just voted to fund our government.
This bill increases pay for our troops, includes the Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act, which I co-sponsored, that helps young Alaskan with special needs get better care. It also includes PBM reform, which will be crucial in lowering drug prices for Alaskans. This bill was full of wins for Alaska!

One step closer 🫶. Yesterday, the U.S. House again passed the Accelerating Kids' Access to Care Act as part of a funding package! We urge the Senate to vote for it too, so kids with cancer can receive the essential care they need, without paperwork delays. #KidsDeserveBetter

Parents like Derek and Amy Nesbit shouldn’t have to fight government red tape in order for their son to receive treatment for leukemia. Last night, the House passed H.R.4758, which would ensure that children aren’t denied Medicaid funding just because of where they live.

@LauraEWeiss16 It also includes two of the most consequential childhood cancer policies in almost a decade!

BIG moment for bipartisan trade and health efforts
The minibus revives key trade programs - AGOA and Haiti HOPE/HELP - through 2026. It’s a win for W&M Chair Smith, who fought for AGOA in particular
It also cracks down on PBMs, a long-time bipartisan goal
Onto the Senate

🚨MINIBUS PASSES HOUSE BIG vote: 341-88 And with that, the House has passed all 12 appropriations bills, which is a big victory for the leadership.

@MicahhParsons11 Truly the kindest, sweetest dogs ever - you just have to be mentally prepared to have your heart broken in ~8-10 years because they don't live as long

I want a Bernese mountain dog for my family ! Any reviews?

@samstein Elon stopped *6* childhood cancer bills from passing in that government funding bill last year. Only one snuck in at the last second. If we’re throwing around “disgraceful”
English
Bernie did indeed stop a unanimous request on this childhood cancer bill last week.
Has to be noted that Rand Paul stopped a UC request on the exact same bill a year ago.
And Elon Musk stopped the bill from passing as part of the government funding bill days before that.
JD Vance@JDVance
Really disgraceful.

@whynot_22 Got one last year too. That’s 2 garden wins in a row 👀

Let’s hear some of the wins you guys have had in your life recently👇🏼

@runliftrunlift Just finished my first marathon on Sunday(!!!) and am now dealing with some awful plantar fasciitis (never experienced this before). Extended break seems to be on tap. Any recovery tips, David?
English
If you’re grimacing with every step until the endorphins kick in, it’s not a “recovery” run. You just wanted an excuse to do some more miles. To each his own, but I’m happy to chill the first few days after a hard race.

After a major endurance feat - ex, a marathon, Ironman, 70.3 - why do some insist on running the day after, when they look like they’ve stepped on a landmine?

@MatticusMarks @MLBNetwork @CleGuardians @Mastercard @TJZuppe I hadn't noticed that. I was watching closely to make sure Kayfus hit first base and you can see the ump watching Petey hit home. Man, can you imagine?
