That gaudy, grotesque place that used to be the Oval Office of which we could be proud? He's only just using that space that we the people own. Let's not let him convince us otherwise.

If we want to find any sort of bright side for the feckless Senate Dems caving, since the House will have to go back into session to vote on the bill, doesn't that mean that Grijalva will have to be sworn in? Will the Epstein files discharge petition finally pass, or will some D's cave there, too?

So a number of judges have figured out that these thugs never operate in good faith. Our Senate Democrats are incapable of realizing that. And their error will cause untold pain.

Interesting. With this front coming through, we are in a red flag warning today. So our solar panel controller fully charged our batteries early this morning and will keep them charged until the warning expires (or until there is a power loss).

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

So Trump says the shutdown hurt R’s at the polls. Then some said he suggested full SNAP funding while court cases proceed. Now he suggests getting rid of health insurance companies. Is his brain getting so muddled he’s forgetting which side of issues he’s on?

In case you haven’t heard: Legit food banks in your local area get the most food for your donated dollar. You can buy one can of beans or one bag of pasta with $1. They can buy double, triple, quadruple that for the same $1. So look into food banks, and consider setting up a monthly donation.

What did Watson discover?
Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.
Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

That sinking feeling when you're already on the third load of laundry for the day and hear the cat starting to hack up a furball. And you know she's on the bedspread.
Fortunately, I moved her off it in time.
