I’m gonna pretend I know for sure that the warm spot on the floor next to my bed is from my cat laying there (even though one cat was sleeping next to me and the other was playing downstairs) because the alternative is terrifying.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Whatever upper respiratory thing that we got just keeps on gifting M. His ear ache turned out to be Bell’s Palsy, which is an inability to move the facial muscles on one or both sides. Definitely made me think he was having a stroke. So glad it’s not that. Anti-virals & steroids to fix.

New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler said in a speech on the House floor that GOP leaders’ decision to let the enhanced ACA tax credits expire was “idiotic and shameful,” especially after changes were added to address fraud and reduce costs.

Well, it has finally happened. I’ve avoided it all of November and this far in to December. But today, my ears have finally been assaulted by Mariah.

Ftr, I love all her other music. I don’t know why I don’t like this song.

The Supreme Court's use and abuse of the Shadow Docket is *how* Chief Justice John Roberts legitimizes Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of the government.

The Supreme Court’s Shadowy Plan to Subvert Democracy
In making frequent, ill use of the “shadow docket,” the high court is not just handing Trump policy victories. It’s upending the rule of law.

This regime hands out tax breaks to billionaires and major corporations while forcing costs to skyrocket for working Americans.

The rich get richer while the rest of America struggles to get by.

That is the reality of Trump's economy.

Just an FYI -

"Really nice guys" don't get told their employee is on the way to an emergency appointment with the doctor and then keep calling the sick employee instead of the person they were told to call.

NEW: I’m leading a bipartisan effort with Rep. Thomas Massie to end forever wars by repealing a 2001 provision letting the White House bypass Congress.

For decades, both parties have used this to conduct military operations with little to no oversight. It’s time for that to end.

“In interviews with Vanity Fair, Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, said Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” called JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist” and concluded that Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” the early handling of the Epstein files.”

I don’t pay attention to directors, so I didn’t know that Rob Reiner directed most of my favorite movies until he was murdered. Such a shame to lose such talent. And an activist to boot.

To anyone who plays Fortnite and considers themselves a trans ally: Please don't buy any of the in-game Harry Potter stuff.

Good chance a lot that money will go JK Rowling, who has and will use it to fund movements and campaigns to discriminate against Trans folk and take away Trans rights.
I know that my good friends who play this game religiously would boycott this and join us in protest over this right?

...right?

Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, a freshman at Brown, had a condition as a child that required brain surgery. The experience created an unshakable ambition to become a brain surgeon, his sister said.

He died after being shot on campus on Saturday.

Amazon started shipping my cat litter via UPS. I’m so glad bc I don’t have to worry about USPS delaying it bc they don’t feel like carrying it.

The UPS guy tried to drive out of my driveway via a part of the driveway we stopped using and don’t shovel bc it started to wash out. He got stuck. Lol

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Tis far nobler to buy all your gifts online because you waited till the last minute and now you’re sick, than to race around looking for the perfect thing and getting 100 other people sick in the process.
Dear Americans:

Stay. The fuck. Home. When you are sick.

Any time I go anywhere besides the Dollar General in town, I get sick, now. Which means you assholes are outside and contagious. Knock it off!
