She’s been slammed at work with so many layoffs and is taking a break from sm.
I did let her know you’re a traveler again and have been keeping us updated with all the legal shenanigans (with no latest [redacted] talk- I think she was happy about that 😂)

Have fun today (and the rest of your time there!).
Can’t wait to see all your photos.
Stay safe.

Elon is not just America’s problem, he is the world’s problem now. It’s no accident that he is aligned with Vlad. Donald has two puppeteers now.
