This morning my husband walked into the kitchen and crooned "How's my beautiful girl today" and I was feeling pretty damn good until I realized he was talking to the dog.

The Republican Party really only has one core principle now: Everything the government does must either benefit Donald Trump and his allies or punish his enemies.
Donald Trump’s restitution scheme is among the greatest heists in US history
Bogus claims of malicious prosecution could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will take food assistance from 4 million people.
While the president jets off to Mar-a-Lago and builds a ballroom, millions of families will be left struggling to afford groceries.
That isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty.

Food stamps are back, but millions will soon lose benefits permanently
Even though the shutdown is over, the GOP’s signature tax and spending law is poised to kick people off the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

When we first got Bella she was terrified of my husband (of all men, really.) Didn't take long for her to realize what a loving, caring, compassionate man he is and she now flirts with him shamelessly.

Trump has asked Republican-led states to redraw their maps in order to preserve the narrow GOP majority in Congress when voters head to the polls in November 2026. The Texas effort could flip as many as five seats for the party.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.
We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

I woke one morning to a mouse in the tub. The poor thing was exhausted from trying to escape. I asked hubby to put it in a paper bag so that we could free him outside. When I peeked in the bag, I saw that he had put two Cheez Doodles in there as well in case the mouse needed a snack 🤭🥹
