Watching Y&R for the first time in probably at least 5 years, good to see Jack and Victor still going at it 😄 those two have been fighting since I was watching the show in my Grandma's Kitchen on summer breaks.

This was really informative. I definitely learned some things that will color how I react to certain things that my Governor is and is not doing.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Fuck Greg Abbott, and not in a way he'd enjoy. I do not think he has any redeemable qualities as a human being.

Governor Pritzker didn't ask for this or consent to it‼️ It's a violation of the state sovereignty of IL. ‼️

Bill filed in #Florida Legislature would make every single college & university name one street after Charlie Kirk. And the bill even specifies WHICH street at each one. (But the governor doesn't want streets used for political messages, which is why no rainbows!) www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

AG Pam Bondi was unprofessional and partisan, but most importantly, she was evasive, refusing to answer good questions she didn’t like.

Fortunately, Adam Schiff kept the receipts. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I'm a romance girlie, but I've recently gotten into memoirs. The best one I've read so far is probably Cicely Tyson's. Viola Davis' was good as well but the beginning is a little traumatic. If you like mystery, look up Selena Montgomery books.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
