DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts.
Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter .
A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many
sacrifices.
Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

“Politico FIFA-ed Trump into giving them an interview. Having flattered Trump into an interview, Politico then flattered him with a series of softball questions.”
I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t!
Interviewer Dasha Burns allowed the president to tell lie after lie, and also failed to push back on his racism. So here is a rebuttal from Zeteo.

Trump is an infirm, sundowning grifter owned by a collection of notorious criminals and it's not even a secret. If this were a functioning country we would have already ended this.

dude was so all about the metaverse that he renamed the whole company, only to burn billions on a venture that anybody with sense knew was destined to fail. it is laughable that he remains in charge. merit simply does not exist
Meta Platforms is planning cuts to the metaverse—an arena Mark Zuckerberg once called the future of the company—and will shift spending to AI wearables.

Keep blabbing Hegseth, keep it up. Your boss just threw you under the bus, and yet, you self-indict the more you flap your gums. Accountability is coming for you. The guy you revere is allegedly immune from prosecution for war crimes, but you’re not.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

I really hope Dem voters remember this (if it comes to fruition) when @booker.senate.gov inevitably runs for POTUS. He’s done this to us a lot.
And if that doesn’t work, try 202-224-3121

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls to disperse an angry crowd and arrested two U.S. citizens. In Evanston, one repeatedly pointed his weapon at protesters while another knelt on a man’s back and punched him in the head.
