And if Johnson STILL does not put the House into session? Still refuses to swear in Grijalva? Then we remain where we were, stuck in a shutdown, ENTIRELY because of the Republican party's refusal to do their jobs.

It sucks! But I do see a case for this "cave" being a "make it House Rs problem."

I'm not giving the Dems credit for 4-D chess, and I do think there were no good options because nothing is going to make the Republicans change their mind. We're stuck in a stalemate as real individuals suffer in a way that COULD be addressed.

But this DOES force the house into holding a session.

That’s good to know! I admit part of my reservation was Lea Michelle, who I’m typically lukewarm on, but she definitely fits the role vocally so I can be won over. (Curious to see how I feel about Florence getting Someone Else’s Story! I’m more used to it being Svetlana’s.)

I would be AFRAID if the book made total sense, but oh, man, okay, that is RESOUNDING praise. I’m in!!

“Ain’t got no turkey for the stuffing… Why don’t we stuff you?“

No. Reason.

Oh, jeez, I’m so sorry.

It works as well as the tack/pointy bit trick does! (Been my go-to for unsteady shabbat candles for yeeeaaars.) Just put the shamash to extra work.

Oh dang those are lovely yahrtzeit candles, actually.
