Chairman Rand Paul said that Markwayne Mullin has anger issues amongst other problems.
Rand Paul said he will not be confirming Mullin.

Paul was looking for an apology over comments that Mullin made about Paul when he was attacked by his neighbor back in 2017 resulting in broken ribs, a collapsed lung - - - that literally left Paul in such bad shape that he couldn't walk.

Paul was looking for an apology.
He didn't get one.

That means if one Democrat votes "No" its game over for Trump's latest appointment.

This is an amazing exchange!
And the film is fantastic at the same time for a different reason!

I will ask people to watch and tell me why it's fantastic. You men can thank me later!

73.7% of all US wealth is held by those over 55, up from 56.2% in 2000, per US Fed.

— unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) March 11, 2026

---

The main reason people over 55 have accrued so much wealth is that we are adorable. Millennials should consider trying this.

---

it helps that between 2000 and 2025 the percentage of the population over 55 increased from 21% to 32%

---

Yeah I think that if you compare those generations head-for-head at like ages the average amount of accrued wealth is about the same. Some generations are bigger (the Boomers are the biggest).

There are probably still some big differences in certain sectors, though. Home ownership feels like one that's gotten progressively tougher since Boomers were young. The job market also seems a lot more volatile; people can't expect to stay with the same company for a long time like they used to.

Financially, being 30 today looks nothing like being 30 in 1983.

1983:
85% lived on their own
80% were married
60% had kids
50% owned a home

2026:
64% live on their own
47% are married
32% have kids
32% own a home pic.twitter.com/vxjDf8myCe

Is this incompetence, or by design? Those peaceful bystanders shouldn't have to endure these threats.

Interesting post.
I've got a family member who is 37, wife, 2 kids.
I'd venture to get he makes at least 250 in SF. Yet he is constantly complaining about how unfair everything is. He's got a 1.4M house in Novato, they order take out all the time, have packages arrive from amazon daily, take multiple vacations, new cars, and leach of his wife's mother for private school tuition and more.

I'm so utterly disgusted by it!

I think there is absolutely truth to this post. But there's also something about our culture that people's expectations for life is vastly different than yesteryear.

Everyone expects and spends like crazy!
And then they complain about how the system got them. Pfft!

Very possible.

And we are building on another year of reservoirs above their historical average:

Geez
I was thinking a week ago it would be a drought summer with no snowpack having accumulated.

Are you suggesting we are out of that zone???

---

The entire state of California is officially out of drought this year.

For the 1st time in 25 years not a single square mile of California is dry on the US Drought Monitor. Have to go back to December 2000 to find a similar situation. If you're 25 or younger you've always lived in a world where California has been entering or recovering from drought pic.twitter.com/X7Fz0RCjXP

As you can see, most of the other western states are still in drought conditions but CA is nice and moist!

---

Wow. This is hard to believe. It has not rained or snowed much from my vantage/experience.
Only two weeks of precipitation

---

It rained a lot in December, then a dry January, now it's raining again in February.

---

Yeah, I didn't think December was all that much and I don't think this last week has been all that much.

---

I think what matters is the water content of the Sierra snowpack. A week or two of heavy snow can make a tremendous difference

---

That is a huge piece, but also you can see that the reservoirs across the state are full, and I believe they are also measuring groundwater to see that it's at a good level. Basically, the whole state has gotten enough moisture to meet these metrics.

Whether or not anyone "feels" like we've gotten enough rain, the proof is in the pudding.

Ski parks all across the west are closing.
I had to find this exchange and go little kid snooty on all y'all who wanted to cash on my "senses".
Turns out, I "feel" right!
