Love walking, movies, cats, husband, children, friends - order depends upon the day.

Michael Fanone posted about his one and only encounter with Graham. The senator verbally attached the mother of a dead officer and turned away from the Fanone’s bodycam footage from Jan 6.
Painting by Marcel Duchamp of his father looking tired and thoughtful.
Graph showing incredible age distribution in NY Dem mayoral primary. Young voters 18-24 are the biggest voting block!
Tabby kitty stretched out snoozing on my blanketed legs.Im not going anywhere.
NYT engaging in their usual gloss for Republican wins. James Fallows notes the article does not mention how big a swing there was to the Democrats in FL-6 story despite losing the election. From us 30 to single digits in just a few months.
Trump’s order to eliminate 7 agencies including the one that helps fund public libraries and museums.
Senate Republicans talking about how they duped Schumer and they intend to do it again.
Responding to Chuck Schumer that the Republicans are already illegally impounding funds and cherry picking parts of government. He is voting to give up the only leverage we have. We need leadership not appeasement.
Schumer cannot keep claiming that Dems should vote to keep the government open. Trump and Musk are already shutting it down illegally. He is being outmaneuvered into giving away the 60 vote threshold which will then allow the Republicans to shut down the government with the budget they pass.
Summary of HHS telling employees that they don’t have to reply. Employees being jerked around left and right at the whim of Trump and Musk.
Elon Musk is firing military veteran firefighters for no reason. Bringing to Senator Schiff’s attention. Let’s scream it from the rooftops!
Try this Chuck. Show some leadership and call us to protest! You guys send me 20 texts a day asking for money. How about organizing some marches?
Every time you get to do something as simple as sit down with your healthy family and eat food from a grocery store, it is the result of a cavalcade of miracles. Each health and safety regulation that made your food safe to eat, each childhood vaccine that means you are at the table with Tiny Tim and not his Sad, Empty Chair and Abandoned Crutch, is the product of decades - no, centuries! - of painstaking effort. And these efforts came from all kinds of people: brilliant, dedicated medical minds, crusaders who were sick of finding dead mice in their lunch meat and just ordinary families who were willing to do whatever they could not to lose their loved ones. Well, we're going to take those decades of painstaking, breathtaking achievement and treat them as RFK Jr. treats a bear carcass: dump it somewhere, for no reason, after it has been struck by a car.

Brown grey tabby looking kind of stern. Wary of being disturbed.
Well after many but I have enjoyed ever since!
Same. Tabby cat stretched out vertically on my lap leaving no room for a laptop.
