I regret to inform everyone that I still don’t feel great. The fever seems to be gone though. Of course I spent most of last night waking up covered in sweat. Still very run down and now my chest hurts more today. Cancelled tomorrow’s PT appointment

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?

VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?

WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?

VANCE: They have forced us to choose

That is probably what I’ll have to have.

Ordered a chopped brisket sandwich because it was the only thing that sounded bland enough to eat and get more calories in me.

They brought me (overseasoned) pulled pork and I wanted to throw up after the first bite. 😩

Still fighting off a fever but it did drop from 103 last night to around 100 so that’s nice.

Was able to eat most of a grilled cheese for lunch. We’ll see how that holds. All I wanted earlier was a big fountain Sprite. Then I went back to bed.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

Last night was rough and I missed good sports because I couldn’t get out of bed for more than a minute or two.

It hasn’t been a great week. The fever is back, I’m nauseous, feel hungry but not hungry for anything, I hurt all over and doing anything just about zaps my energy. I actually wondered if I had appendicitis but I can’t tell if the abdomen pain is just the stuff I’ve been dealing with already.

Speaker Mike Johnson, standing next to Emmer here, urged Democrats less than a month ago to "turn down their rhetoric," saying, "Nazis and fascists is not helpful."

As such, striking to see him stand quietly as a fellow Republican insists there is a "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Lol at calling us pro Hamas when you’re giving the Qataris a military base on American soil.

I wish I felt better. I slept horribly and I just hurt bad everywhere. Every time I think things are getting better I feel like crap again. 😩

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

This is an overly polite way of saying the regime is full of shit.

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.
