Does he think they trust him to “work with them” after they give them the votes?

Since it’s Spooky Season, I present Fork, who seems to be going full vampire on his sister, Spoon.

He was actually resting his head on her while she slept.

Too bad he’s been retired for so long. This would lock in a contract with the Browns.

Hi Cat Lovers!

He’s off to a great start, but there’s a way to go. He’s hoping to buy cat houses for this colony before it gets cold and to stock up on supplies for the winter.

Please help and share!

Happy #Caturday from Jon Bon Jovi Cat! He’s a foster fail. When he was a wee kitten, one of our adult cats became very attached to him. She raised him, and now he’s her loyal minion in mayhem.

They’re going to destroy the crops because they can’t sell them. 🤨 And we’re going to pay these people to not grow the seeds they’ve already purchased for next year.

#TBT to that time we were asked to emergency foster “a small litter” of kittens, and they just handed us a box with 12 baby cats and told us to name them after Sesame Street characters.

Always. There’s something magical and humorous about them. And they have so much confidence when they only weigh 1 pound.

No mom. Just kittens. Thankfully, they were just old enough to eat slurry, so they didn’t need round the clock bottles. They were chaos, but so cute.

Health insurance premiums for plans bought over the ACA marketplace will ⬆️ 114% on average if enhanced subsidies expire.

Dems pushed to extend the tax credits as part of a deal to avert a government shutdown but the GOP said NO.

~22 million people receive enhanced subsidies.

Affordable Care Act premiums will rise 114% if enhanced subsidies expire, KFF says
The federal government may shut down if Congress can't reach a deal about enhanced premium tax credits, slated to expire at the end of 2025.
