Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

  We lost a legend yesterday. One of the good ones is gone. Dolly Parton will be missed by so many; even the Orange Menace said we should fly flags at half-mast. Someone said, "She had the opportunity to be a billionaire and instead chose kindness." I like that. I think that's the best way to remember her. If you'd like to pay your respects, you can donate to her Imagination Library . RIP to our angel on earth.  Here are your highlights :  Where's the beef? Beef farmers have beef with the Trump administration .  Target recalls racist costume . I have no clue what's going on at Target HQ, but they're either really ignorant or hella racist.  Kennedy Center could be demolished . Big baby energy.  Flash flood in Nepal. Terrible news as more than 30 have been reported dead .  Meta to pay $18 billion in mental health trial .  22nd mass killing this year. Montana man killed 8, including four children . This world is cruel. And we're not doing enough to s...

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 As our world burns, it's great to know every other country recognizes the dire situation we're in. From China to Europe, folks aren't buying gas-powered death vehicles and instead are opting for EVs. Balcony solar is a thing. Offshore windmills are a thing. Yet this administration continues to set us back. When it all comes around, it might be the worst thing they've ever done, and that's saying a lot.  Here are your highlights: What happens when Trump's term ends?  Largest mass visa revocation. This administration continues to be racist as all hell .  Fining to fix homelessness . Billionaires are evil and stupid.  So much winning. Consumer confidence at the lowest level in 7 months .  Obamacare works. Floridians hit the hardest by cuts .  Lake America . I can't think of a better way to describe the absurdity of our times.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Monday

 I've been out with a migraine from hell. It started last Monday and really only let up a little yesterday. I've never experienced a headache (pounding and relentless) for so long. I was in bed, blinds closed, and miserable. Nothing worked. I went to urgent care; they gave me a steroid shot and some pills. It didn't work. I think the worst is over, but I'm still at maybe 60%. Drink your fluids, take your pills.  Here are your highlights:   Deepest apologies, Canada.  The Commander of Dementia continues to go after one of our greatest allies.  WEIRD. GOP Colorado Governor candidate says he fought demons and saved thousands .  Wildfire near Reno leads to 90,000 evacuating .  Judge says it. Trump administration's 75-country visa ban is illegal . ICE is out of control. Detains the spouse of active military.   The best protection against the next Financial Crisis is being dismantled . Ah, we're here again. So nice to see recession is the plan.  I ...

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 I'd like to see some pushback about the death penalty. The death penalty is inhumane. Period. And Florida is going to execute a 13th man this year . No civil society operates the way Florida does. It's barbaric. DeSantis really is a sick and depraved leader, but we know that. The fact is, I don't see any Dems equating this to the Republican way, bloodthirsty. From vaccines to public health data to lettuce, Republicans don't care about you.  Here are your highlights:   Antisemitic attacks in Florida race for Rep condemned by both parties .  This won't be the last we hear of this . Penn State fraternities busted in cocaine ring.  The AI job boom For Men Only .  New non-profit app helps McDonald's get to work and get help .  Ruh-roh. Something's weird about the White House's response to Ossoff mentioning cult-member Natalie Harp . I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Monday

 It keeps raining. It keeps flooding. And it's apparent our government doesn't give a damn. Sadly, multiple people died in Indiana experiencing the worst flooding in 30 years. More than 128,000 people are without power. Here in Illinois, we've seen unprecedented flooding, tornadoes, and heavy rain. Today might be the first day without it. Here's hoping. As our world continues to warm, more people should've listened to Al Gore.  Here are your highlights:   An endless and stupid war in Iran .  "Save the cheerleader, save the world." RIP to Hayden Panettiere . There's something rotten in Hollywood; one of these days we'll get the truth.  Trump Bank? The blatant corruption is the point.   British Prime Minister was texting a Susie Wiles impostor .  China keeps careful watch on the mourning of former premier Zhu Rongji . Could Universal Healthcare save $1trillion? One study thinks so . I'm not sure Medicare for All is the path, but damn, we've ...

Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 School starts next week. I've seen countless pictures of kids on their first day of school (some start earlier). Our kids are stocked up and ready to go. It's wild how summer went so fast. I try to remind our girls that these summers are the best. That the time we spend together isn't infinite. But they're kids. So I hold them tighter, put on a movie, make popcorn, and soak it in. Some things in life are still good.  Here are your highlights: What's going on in the West Bank? And what's going on with Huckabee?   The ongoing water crisis in Puerto Rico .  Should we be worried? Credit card debt nearing record .  Jeffries calls for court reform. Hell yeah.  The majority-minority change in rural America.   No one is safe. ICE is targeting Asian and Pacific Islanders .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

 A tornado touched down near our home Tuesday. It was really close. The debris. The damage. It's something I've never seen before. Luckily, everyone we know is okay. The trees look like they exploded. I drove slowly around downed wires. Folks were without power for over 18 hours. Some still are. Climate Change is here. And we have an administration that denies it. That refuses to give relief funds to states that didn't vote for the Orange Menace. We're okay and safe. Today or tomorrow might not be the same.  Here are your highlights:  The war in Iran is mentally draining our service members . Some have tried to literally jump ship.  Photos of yesterday's Solar Eclipse .  They're killing the arts .  A medical expert asks questions that the media won't. Trump's health is fucking bad . *paging Jake Tapper* El-Sayed's odd blind spot on Court Reform .  A surprising win for Crowley might lead to more wins in Wisconsin .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve t...
