Is this normal?

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, left a vexing note for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford ahead of her scheduled testimony before the Committee on Thursday.

"Good luck Dr. Ford," the note from Grassley read. It was placed on the table where Ford will be seated during the hearing.


The ambiguous nature of the note has people scratching their heads on social media.

Could Grassley be trying to be supportive? A couple of people think so.

Most, however, think it was highly inappropriate.

Speculation over the meaning of the note is varying widely. Some see it as an attempt at intimidation.

People want to know what "luck" has anything to do with the hearing, where Ford will testify under oath that she remembers Kavanaugh attempting to rape her at a high school party in the 1980's. Kavanaugh will also be offering his own sworn testimony.

The hearing is supposed to be fair and open, so "luck" shouldn't be a factor. The truth is what's important.

People are frustrated and confused.

“I feel like I have a definite responsibility to hold a hearing, not only for her but for Judge Kavanaugh,” Grassley told Reporters on Wednesday. “She's been waiting for ten days now to appear so why would we want to disadvantage her from doing what she offered to do a long time ago?”

That doesn't clear up anything, Senator.

We Just Got Our First Look At The Official Popcorn Bucket For 'The Odyssey'—And Everyone Is Making The Same Joke

At this point, movie studios aren't competing at the box office. They're competing to see who can create the most unhinged popcorn bucket.

We've had giant sandworms. We've had oversized Deadpool & Wolverine helmets. We've had designer handbags full of popcorn. We even somehow survived the predictably lackluster Melania Trump popcorn bucket era. Now, The Odyssey has entered the chat with a Trojan Horse popcorn bucket, because apparently subtlety died somewhere around 2024.

'X-Men' Star Has Important Wakeup Call For Men After Revealing He's Been Diagnosed With 'Super Rare' Breast Cancer

Breast cancer does not discriminate between people. While it is more common in women, one out of 755 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Because "breasts" are associated with women, people—including doctors—often do not recognize early signs of breast cancer in men, so they are less likely to be diagnosed until a later stage, which makes treatment more difficult.
