Think two-day delivery is mind-blowing? You could technically mail your children in the early days of the U.S. parcel post service in the 1910s.
Mr. and Mrs. Beauge of Ohio were the first parents to mail their child when they paid 15 cents in stamps, plus $50 in insurance, to send their nearly 11-pound baby to his grandmother’s home about a mile away in 1913. Unlike the scene that’s illustrated in this staged photo from our National Postal Museum, children traveled with trusted postal workers, not in mailbags.
The U.S. Postmaster General soon barred the practice of mailing all humans, and the last children were “delivered” in 1915. Hear more about parents sending their children in the mail through our podcast Sidedoor.

Fortunately for us, we’re a big economy. When Republicans seriously damage it, there’s not enough enterprise left over in the world available for them to make any money.
We’re the goose ; - )

Every ambassadorial nomination is an insult to the target country. Losing allies, one at a time.

Yep, the SCJ who wants to take the modern world back a couple of centuries. I even believe that Alito thinks that the Amish are too radical.

Every single trump appointee will be the worst, most unsuited person for the job. Unless, of course, you consider that trump’s/Heritage Foundation’s/Project 2025’s goal is to destroy the institutions of government and render the federal government nonfunctional, then they’re perfect.

In the case of Herschel being nominated for ambassador to the Bahamas it would be a slight to them and Great Britain as well. A sort of two for one.

DonOLD now has willing minions to do the retribution work for him.
He has threatened to throw journalists in jail and investigate news organizations for treason. He has proposed revoking broadcast licenses held by TV companies when he disagrees with their coverage. His pick for FBI director, Kash Patel, has vowed a campaign of retribution against the press.
