Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
It's like grading the worst papers instead of just getting to write myself.
Agreed. I'd add adopting a dog and not training it appropriately for your environment.

It's unfair to the dog and the neighbors.
Yeah, some folks in my neighborhood bring poorly-trained dogs into the grocery store. I don't want to buy the package of cookies that dog just licked.
"All-the-fun," opposite of "zero-sum"

It literally generates more, the more it is used.

Ba-room, ba-room, ba-room, barpity, barpity, barpity, barpity-Good. His dad had the pickup going. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.
Attention I ask from all the sacred people, greater and lesser offspring of Heimdall! Congress has not authorized the use of military force.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
I did one arm so this freeloader could still sleep draped across my other arm, as she is wont to do.
Doing that right now.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.
Please do what's best for you and know we miss you and want the best for you.
For about 3 years now, every big shooting has been followed by claims that the shooter was trans. Some troll farm or other has been making a concerted effort to seed the public consciousness with that expectation.
Bragging: This bossy, razor-clawed beastie jumps onto the back of the couch (where the light is good) at pill time, cued by the jaunty song my phone plays every 12 hours. She hates Pill Time, but when I let her choose where to take it, she started complying quickly to get to Treat Time.
Creative Crimbinality!
For about three years, there has been chatter about the shooter being trans right after every shooting.

This one may have been, maybe not.

It doesn't matter what we do, even if we could be perfect, the propaganda machine is coming for us.

We really need our allies to shout the lies down.
