Hey, did anyone actually read the statement about the reduced prices for the weight loss drugs? It's only through trumprx. Just another grift.

A full-length vertical photo showing two long-haired cats, Frankie (on the left, with dark, charcoal-colored, striped fur) and Sully (on the right, with lighter gray, charcoal and white fur), sitting side-by-side with their backs to the camera. They are gazing out a full length glass door that opens to the outside. The immediate foreground is raw, light-colored plywood flooring with some white paint splatters and construction materials nearby, including a partial paint can on the lower left. Through the glass, the yard is visible, showing yellow and orange autumn foliage on a few trees and several large orange pumpkins resting on the lawn.

In seven days I'll finally be on my way to Dartmouth to have my aortic valve replaced. Open heart's a daunting surgery, but I'm ready. Recovery will be long, and painful. But I'm ready. #bringiton #aorticstenosis #cardiology #dartmouth #openheart #SAVR

I’ve been lucky enough to help my country & neighbors since I was 17 years old. I’m 54 now.
I don’t like pledges of allegiance all that much.
But I love my country.
I don’t like flags all that much.
But I love my neighbors.

So tomorrow we will be at No Kings. For my country and for my neighbors

A photograph of two fluffy, long-haired Maine Coon cats resting on a polished hardwood floor. In the foreground, the larger cat, Frankie, is lying on a gray and white, short napped rug that meets the wood floor. Frankie has a distinct brown and black classic tabby pattern with prominent stripes on his body and legs. He is looking sharply toward the right, away from the camera. In the background, the lighter-colored cat, Sully, is lying directly on the hardwood floor, slightly out of focus. Sully has a smoky, silvery-gray long coat and a dark, bushy tail, and he appears to be glaring at the camera in judgment of your Caturday laziness.

Being a handsome rascal is tiring. #FrankieFriday #cats #catsofbluesky #MaineCoonTabby #ALTtext
A luxuriously fluffy, long-haired cat named Frankie, displaying rich brown and black tabby patterns, is depicted in a deep, relaxed sleep. Frankie is lying on his back, fully sprawled out on a floor covered in small, white hexagonal mosaic tiles. His lighter-colored fur on his exposed belly is distinctly visible, contrasting with the darker tabby markings on his sides and limbs, emphasizing his comfort and contentment.

The image shows a square yellow and black warning sign mounted on a concrete pillar in a hospital parking garage. ​The sign features a bold black and yellow graphic depicting a stylized person in a wheelchair on a steep, downward-sloping surface. ​Below the graphic, in large, black, capital letters, are the words "SLOPE HAZARD." ​The overall appearance is a safety sign warning of a dangerously steep decline.

Mama likes when we play Hide & Seek - because who needs to mop when you have a purr-fectly effective cat-Swiffer? #ALTtext #caturday #MaineCoon #Vermont #catsofbluesky #cats #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #caturdayeveryday
​A fluffy, long-haired part Maine Coon cat, Frankie, is lying under a dark curtain that is partially draped over it, creating a cozy hideaway under a clawfoot bathtub. The cat has a striking brown tabby coat with prominent stripes and is looking up at and slightly to the left with wide, expressive eyes at his mama. The floor beneath the cat is a white hexagonal tile pattern with greige colored grout.

Two long-haired cats sit on two different window sills, looking out the windows. Sully, a fluffy grey and white Maine Coon cat, is on the right, closer to the camera, presenting a view of its back and thick tail. Frankie, another cat, is visible further away on the left, also facing the window. The room is dimly lit, with bright light coming in from the windows above a Honeywell air cleaner on the floor.

Happy #Caturday ! It's time for Hallowe'en Havoc, a benefit softball tournament hosted by Papa's long time co-ed team. An extra special weekend because Sully's Mama is this year's humble recipient 😭❤️

PS: Mama FINALLY gets her new aortic valve on Oct 30th 😍🎉🥳

#ALTtext #catsofbluesky #mainecoon
The image is a selfie of Mama wearing a black cat costume. ​She is seated in a car, wearing a seatbelt, and looking directly at the camera. She has black & silver glittery cat ears on a headband and makeup that includes a white snout area around the nose and upper lip, black lipstick, and drawn-on whiskers/freckles on the cheeks. The background, visible through the windshield and side windows, suggests a sunny day outside of a restaurant. ​A fluffy, long-haired Maine Coon cat named Sully is lying on his back on a light-colored carpet, looking directly at Mama holding the camera with piercing green eyes.

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

Our new neighbors' orangey, Mr. Biggins, is a floofball of rage. An expert at picking fights with every local outdoor kitty, his favorite hobby is adding a few more 'character marks' to his enemies. At least he's nice to his tiny humans. #ALTtext #caturday #caturdayeveryday #catsofbluesky
A medium shot photograph shows a fluffy, light orange and white cat named Mr. Biggins sitting on the ground next to a large tree stump. The cat has a serious, almost grumpy, expression while looking directly at the camera. Its fur appears a bit messy and matted in some spots. The background includes a silver car's tire and fender on the right side, and the ground is covered with fallen autumn leaves and green and brown foliage.

#FelineFriendFriday Miss Pinto is a great barn cat. But, boy does she like being a lap cat, too! #ALTtext #catsofbluesky #barncat #cats
​A close-up, eye-level photo of a black and white barn cat named Pinto. The cat's face is mostly white with a prominent black patch on its chin, creating a "goatee" look. Black fur surrounds its large, upright ears and outlines its striking, light green eyes. The cat has long, white whiskers that fan out widely from its snout. The focus is sharp on the cat's face, while the background is blurred, showing soft green foliage and the colorful, abstract floral pattern of a tablecloth. A person stands in the distant background, also out of focus.

Don’t wish murder on anyone because then you wish it on everyone. Don’t minimize a murder cuz you didn’t like the murder victim It’s not funny. It’s not edgy. It’s not justice. It’s murder. Each murder is the death of us all in very real ways. I know, I’ve died far too much for one life.

Frankie the Felon, a black, brown, and cream Maine Coon-tabby mix, is captured in a close-up, low-light indoor shot. The cat is shown in a relaxed pose, sitting on a wooden surface and looking out a window. Soft, natural light from the window illuminates the cat's face and fur, highlighting his long whiskers and detailed coat pattern. The background through the window is slightly blurred, showing the subtle greenery of the plants on the porch, and trees and bushes beyond them.
