President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

“Kiki, must you GROOM yourself when I’m here?”

“I’m a PERFORMANCE artist, human. This is my ACT!”

“It can’t be HEALTHY while I’m eating lunch!”

“Don’t BELITTLE my art, human! I was top groomer in my SHELTER…Ain’t NOBODY can outlick me!”

“Finish your SHOW, Kiki. But don’t wait for MY applause!”

Abolish ICE.

Abolish this entire failed system.

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 13h

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Anyone want to talk about the impossibility of getting prescription plans to cover #Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic and Wegovy? Do they not realize that helping millions of people to lose weight will save them so much money? Fewer heart attacks, strokes, falls, etc linked to obesity.

If you're a wealthy white dude in a blue state emotion-vomiting all over your large platform warning people of "blood in the streets" and making a string of crash out vids about No Kings, I don't care if we're friends, we are gonna have words. Stop doing the fascists' work for them. Buck up.

(reporter) “Kiki‘s limo is HERE! Let’s talk to her…Kiki, any words for the adoring FANS?”

“Just keep ADORING me! What ELSE can you do?”

“Kiki, time to eat…It’s the PREMIERE of a new can of wet food!”

“You one of my adoring FANS, human!”

“No one adores you MORE, Kiki! You’re the star of MY show!”

“Wanna send me a little LOVE, human?”

“OK, Kiki! Love’s coming your WAY! Rubbing the head…scritching the ears…petting the back…booping the nose…”

“I LIKED that!”

“How about sending some love back to ME, Kiki? Sit on my lap and purr?”

“Human, loving’s a ONE-WAY street—from YOU to ME! Bye, now!”

“Kiki, you’re the best cat EVER!”

“TRUE, human…But I bet you said it to ALL your kitties!”

“Can’t RECALL!”

“You’ll say it to the NEXT kitty, the NEXT…and so on.”

“You’re my only cat NOW, Kiki. And that makes YOU the best ever!”

“Human, you set such a LOW BAR for me—and it’s BENEATH my dignity!”

We’re having a houseguest so we’re not as visible through the day. So here’s a throwback pic from last Halloween time. 🎃
