Bragging: This bossy, razor-clawed beastie jumps onto the back of the couch (where the light is good) at pill time, cued by the jaunty song my phone plays every 12 hours. She hates Pill Time, but when I let her choose where to take it, she started complying quickly to get to Treat Time.

#Grants #FederalGrants #AdministrativeCoup
How to stop Trump's Administrative Coup Be angry out loud Sound the alarm on social media. What's happening is not normal or business as usual. Join the legal fight Support the ACLU and Democracy Forward's lawsuits challenging the federal aid freezes. Be in community Tell your friends to get the word out and connect with legal aid groups. They want us to be isolated but together, we can fight back. Tell Congress to fight back By freezing federal aid, Trump is stealing power from Congress. Call your Senators and representatives in the House and tll them to defend their authority. Alert the media What's happening right now is an emergency that will devastate the economy and millions of American families. Don't let mainstream media bury the lede. Tag outlets on social and write letters to the editor urging them to cover this crisis accurately.
