A large-eyed spotted cat sits in a box of styrofoam popcorn. It will soon be all over the house. A fluffy, striped cat lounges inside the mouth of a black and orange cartoonish spider-shaped cat bed. A sleek spotted cat and a fluffy striped cat of loaf side by side. Spots is like, two times the size of stripes.

@kaine.senate.gov do you think we're stupid? They weren't willing to do it? It was fucking offered WEEKS ago. It's been their ONLY POSITION, and AN OBVIOUS CON JOB, from the first.

Get out of here, loser.

THIS is what you do when people are going to starve.
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, said state employees “worked through the night” to issue full November benefits “to make sure every Oregon family relying on SNAP could buy groceries” by Friday. Officials in Kansas, New Jersey and Pennsylvania also said they moved quickly to issue full SNAP benefits Friday, while other states said they expected full benefits to arrive over the weekend or early next week. Still others said they were waiting for further federal guidance.

Just a reminder that @tomsuozzi.bsky.social still sucks ass.
Rep Suozzi’s blathering is outlined in baby shit yellow in daily newsletter from NOTUS.org From the campaign trail Democrats test their tent: “If we are going to be a big tent, it can’t just be a big tent for the conservative part of the party. It also has to be a big tent for the liberal part of the party,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal told NOTUS’ Shifra Dayak about the Democratic hand-wringing over Zohran Mamdani, which is still very much A Thing weeks out from the election Mamdani is dominating. The opposition: “Socialism has consistently failed to deliver real, sustainable progress,” Rep. Tom Suozzi said in a recent public non-endorsement. Other vocal non-endorsers include NY Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs. Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey published an op-ed last week expressly saying that there’s no room in the party for Mamdani.

What I sent to my MoC today.
Senator Padilla, Senator Schiff, and Representative Liccardo; I can understand getting tied in a mental knot over voting for the Kirk Day resolutions (H.Res.719 & S.Res.391). They were constructed to be morally and emotionally fraught litmus tests by Rs, so they can label “monster” anyone who didn’t support them, and set the trap by combining condemnation of his murder (proper) with honoring his life and legacy (uh, no. hard pass). I can understand that. But it’s also true supporting these measures was not the bravest thing you did this week and was stepping on a rake advertised by a neon sign and a mariachi band while the R sponsors helpfully held your hand. I get that it’s a dangerous, scary time to be a member of Congress. The worst in a good long while, if not the worst ever given the technological capabilities in the hands of threat-tossing wackos; indeed, such wackos who are often members of law enforcement, as Senator Padilla experienced personally. But, men, this is the job today. A day of remembrance for Kirk is a day of remembrance for someone who was LOUD about their anti-democratic, anti-American, racist, misogynist, homophobic, and transphobic ideas who was a fascist toady and a cultural accelerationist who died from that same accelerationism. He should not be celebrated for the bravery of his speech, though he was properly allowed to say his hateful little things. Yes, there’s precedent for bestowing such honors, sadly, across our history. We don’t have to follow it. You didn't have to follow it. You should not have. Please publicly renounce this support and vow not to step on this rake again. I suggest posting this to your Congressional websites. After that I’ll stop looking for your primary challengers. Regards, your constituent, Andan

A spotted cat perched in a red wingback chair embroidered with gold flowers. The cat is sitting semi upright with one front leg draped over the arm of the chair. The cat has an amusing expression. A striped long hair cat in classic cat statue pose. She has a fierce expression.

These are very very good faces.

Ours has resting murderface. She’s ver popular. She hates bobcats and would like to kill all the ones in the tv. She weighs 8lbs.
A smol very fluffy stripped tabby sits on her haunches murderously, between some living room furniture. A smol very fluffy stripped tabby crouches on the arm of a sofa, murderously. Her gaze is fixated on the bobcats on the tv screen. She hates bobcats. She is confident she can take them.

IANAL but I don’t think I need to be to understand from like basic civics that this insane statement is entirely upside down.
“A single district court judge has attempted to wrest from the President the power to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ This state of affairs cannot be allowed to persist for one more day,” government attorneys wrote in their appeal.

But at least this can be slid all around w/o emptying it.

Design goal met! \o/
Angled top-down view of a mid-height A/V cabinet with sliding front doors across two levels of shelf. Atop are coiled and blue taped several loops of various kinds of cables. These are the sum complement of cables necessary to drive: - A receiver - PS4 - Switch - gaming PC - network switch for A/V cabinet devices - 5.1 sound with dual-powered fronts - TV (wall mounted above the position of the A/V cabinet) - Air quality monitor The cabinet is sitting on furniture sliders for ease of moving about by the moving crew while the flooring crew does their thing I’m so dusty and my back is doooone.

Several things to think about in this article, but let's start with are Trump voters wondering why *foreign* leaders are getting the *American* cabinet picks *they* want? 🤔 This doesn't sound very America First, hrm...
AP News article snippet: Vought “brought him potential spending cuts” in the first administration, Short said, “that Trump wouldn’t go along with.” This time, Short continued, “maybe Elon and Vivek provide backup,” giving Vought the imprimatur of two wealthy businessmen. “He will always calculate who has been good to him,” Short said. “You already see that: The unions got the labor secretary they wanted, and Putin and Assad got the DNI (intelligence chief) they wanted. … This is not so much a team-of-rivals situation. I think it’s going to look a lot like a reality TV show.”
