One good thing today: it was really nice out and I went for a restorative walk in the sunshine. A good break from all of the awful #onegoodthing

Just found out my ACÁ premiums are expected to increase by 53% next year. And that’s lucky compared to a lot of other people. Republicans need to fix this right f’ing now

Yes because that’s how science works. You “make the proof.”

Confelicity is my new favorite word. Vicarious happiness. Enjoying someone else’s happiness. Great word.

One good thing today: met a deadline that was hanging over me. Glad it’s done. Time to crash.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Abusers and pedophiles always cover for each other and stick together. They are disgusting trash full stop.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

One good thing today: my friend just got back from Iceland and shared her adventures with me. Stories and absolutely beautiful pictures of glaciers and waterfalls and serene landscapes. Got to live vicariously. #onegoodthing

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

I had a claim on my homeowners last year because my furnace blew. And i can’t switch even car insurance because of it. I have to be claim free across policies for at least 3 years apparently. Which totally sucks

Foster kids who “age out” often end up homeless. They’re no different than kids who have the luxury of moving back to their parents, they just don’t have that choice. It’s unconscionable

One good thing today: my dog has suddenly become interested in cat toys. The cats are not amused. But I am.
