* This is a nonsense claim. I've worked both Library and K-12 jobs. They briefed us on Public Records/FOIA and that our emails on government machines weren't private. There was a fricking warning banner right there every time we logged in. My Mom's third career was in Domestic Relations. Every email she sent or received had the FOIA warning on it. No way they could have not known those were public records. If it applies to the person shelving books at your local library and the person teaching civics to your 8th grader, how much more does it apply to the future President and his staff. Executive Privilege does not extend to things that happen before swearing in. There is no Attorney client privilege if you are communicating in public with someone who isn't your attorney.

* I’ve been on this route so many times both by train and on I-5 and the high speed rail construction made several of my last trips more complicated and/or slow. I am all for high speed rail, which we need desperately. At the same time the whole not using the latest safety tech worries me, and I am absolutely horrified that this thing has happened.
These are real places for me and this could have so easily been me or one of my friends. I just... these things keep happening here and in Europe and they shouldn’t.
My thoughts are with the survivors and the families of the dead. "Three dead after Amtrak train derails near Tacoma, Washington:" https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amtrak-derailment-train-crashes-near-tacoma-washington-n830751

* Monday, I very nearly missed my forage window, having been trapped under a sedimentary layer of peacefully napping cats. I did all the things on the list, but it wore me out. Today, I needed proper sleep, but I had Doctor/Bureaucracy, so out I went into rain/sleet/snow. It was full dark when I was done, but the sky chose rain instead of the less pleasant options. I am so tired I despair of making sense, so likely i will slope off to bed after sorting a few necessary things out.
