Husband had to get up at an ungodly hour this morning and said he would feed the cat. He thought he was being nice and saving me a job so was surprised by my horrified "No don't do that!". We would have been condemned to 5.20am cat feeding FOREVER. Precedent, thy name is cat.

Apparently the White House has launched an official "Media Offenders" page of their website, and to save you the trouble of looking it up, just imagine a Burn Book written by the absolute saddest of little fascist babies. Incredible stuff.

Megyn Kelly actually said that Trump should release the Epstein files because now it looks like he's the only one, whereas if he releases them he'll be one of many.🤯
Would he really look better if wasn't "the only" one on the list? Seriously?
