    Former President Trump warned the GOP that removing the filibuster would be “catastrophic for the Republican Party,” Axios reports.
    In 2018, Trump warned Republican lawmakers that keeping the filibuster would be “the end of the party.”

  6. First of all, Puddle, that's great news, that you feel so much better. May it continue!!! Second, if you could e-mail me those exercises, I'd really appreciate it. My right hip itches up, squishing my right side and, far more importantly, probably contributing to the ongoing and ever worsening pain in and around that hip. It's to the point that I can't even stretch the side out properly. And can't remember the right exercises.

    Needless to say, if all that typing would be in any way *any way* detrimental, than don't bother. Only if sending doesn't aggravate any pains!

    2. Over here too, please!

      My whole right side of my body is slightly larger than the left. Once, a PT guy asked me if I have hip issues. He wanted to break me to fix me, but I declined...because my hip was fine. At the time I only had an issue with a knee...which malady was cured by walking on cobblestones in Edinburgh, Scotland! (I kid you not! When I returned from the trip, he checked the knee and had to admit I didn't need him anymore.

    1. A dear friend of mine (godmother of Root*Center*Son) campaigned hard for Marty Walsh to be Mayor. She's bursting with pride now, too.
