Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'
Latest figure I saw was 8.1 million. 💪🏻

Importantly, this also means no right wingnuts pulled anything. Guess all the GOP nonsense fell on deaf ears.
Importantly, this also means no right wingnuts showed up to start trouble.
In my little Virginia town, main street was lined with people for 3/10 of a mile. [No photos because I was driving and honking!] I’m verklempt!

Things to do electronically before no kings day:

Charge power bank if have

Change your phone's password to pattern/pin

Cops/ice can legally use your thumbprint/face/eyes to open your phone, they can't force pattern/pin passwords

Turn off GPS and put on airplane mode or turn off phone.

Good news for those (illegally) RIFed -
& another reason to join your local union

A federal court just clarified that its restraining order protects even more feds from RIFs during the shutdown --
including those in unions their agencies stopped recognizing (illegally, btw).

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
"Weekend at Bernie's", anyone?

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.
