The FDA informed Americans with stuffy noses that the oral decongestant they’ve been using for 75 years doesn’t work, but it’s still safe and still on the shelves, so, uh, use it you want to, or not, because we want you to tell us what to do about it.

Romney did say, “While I’m not running for reelection, I’m not retiring from the fight. I’ll be your United States senator until January of 2025.” But he didn’t elaborate. Too bad, because there are things a retiring, respected senator can do to improve things in Washington, but framing it as a generational thing is misleading and disingenuous.

Today, the war to preserve American freedom and democracy is being fought right here at home. Fortunately, millions of Americans stand on the side of what’s right. Many still remember how we felt as a unified nation in the wake of the attacks 22 years ago.

Watching the feeding is only half the fascination. What hummingbirds go through every year just to get to our backyard and all the other welcoming feeding places in the Eastern U.S. is an epic tale.

It was a week in which Donald Trump got indicted again, Mike Pence found his voice, NASA found Voyager, which it had lost in space, a Yankee pitcher lost his cool in the clubhouse and got sent to rehab and Sen. Tommy Tuberville lost a political skirmish when Joe Biden vetoed a bid to move Space Force HQ from Colorado to Alabama. By the way, that’s three indictments for Trump and counting.
