I was driving to work this morning in a bubble. The sun was shining, the air was sparkling; I was playing some good tunes. I told myself aloud, take a deep breath, and look around and take it all in. I wanted to burn the image of the moment into my brain. I am grateful for all the good feelings and physical beauty that the natural world has gifted to me while I have been here. Everyday I awake very aware that Today could be the Last Day.

Now back to the bullshit that makes the world go round:
A former aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told the House January 6 committee that then-President Donald Trump had suggested to Meadows he approved of the “hang Mike Pence” chants from rioters who stormed the US Capitol, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is pushing back on a subpoena issued to him by the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, contesting the constitutionality of the request and outlining a list of demands the committee must meet in order for him to even consider moving forward.
A four-judge panel in the appellate division of the state’s trial court upheld Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling enforcing subpoenas for Trump and his two eldest children to give deposition testimony in Attorney General Letitia James’ probe.
Thank you for reading today's post.

Auto-brewery syndrome (also called gut fermentation syndrome) is a very rare medical condition that, at first glance, sounds rather novel, but is a nightmare for patients afflicted with it. The syndrome results in normal levels of carbohydrates and sugar consumed leading to alcoholic intoxication as various yeasts and bacteria in the patient’s gut efficiently converts the two into ethanol.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats’ first attempt at responding to the back-to-back mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas, failed in the Senate Thursday as Republicans blocked a domestic terrorism bill that would have opened debate on difficult questions surrounding hate crimes and gun safety.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. tried to nudge Republicans into taking up a domestic terrorism bill that had cleared the House quickly last week after mass shootings at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and a church in Southern California targeting people of color. He said it could become the basis for negotiation.
But the vote failed along party lines, raising fresh doubts about the possibility of robust debate, let alone eventual compromise, on gun safety measures. The final vote was 47-47, short of the 60 needed to take up the bill. All Republicans voted against it.
