I wasn’t able to stay for the lighting ceremony but I stopped by to see the 🌲 Halifax sends to Boston ❤️🇨🇦
Christmas tree at night on Boston Common. The lights are waiting to be turned on by Mayor Wu. The Hancock Tower and the Prudential Center can be seen in the background to the right.

Any of these “gang of 8” who vote to cave (& who are running for reelection) won’t be getting any $ from me!

Trump Lost the Politics of the Shutdown prospect.org/2025/11/04/t...
I guess the answer is: by getting a pinky swear. For the past week, rank-and-file Democratic senators have been huddling with Republicans to reach agreement on fiscal year 2026 spending bills, as a crowbar to force open the government. There are eight Democrats in the gang, enough to break a filibuster on a funding bill. They are: Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Peter Welch (D-VT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). Shaheen, Ossoff, Peters, and Baldwin are on the Appropriations Committee, and therefore the most invested in getting a deal with their fingerprints on it. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) isn't involved in this bargain, but he's not exactly discouraging it either.

Same on the clean sheets - I changed mine Sunday with “help” from Sita 🐾 (pic from an earlier laundry day)

I had these in Maine recently & really liked them - not as filling as regular beer either 🍺
Based in Maine so not sure how far south it’s available

Hope the meds & ice help! Sita & I are thinking of you 💕
(well, Sita might be thinking about birds just out of her reach 😸)
Hang in there 🐾

Because of a statutory requirement to automatically impose budget cuts when legislation increases the deficit, the Big Beautiful Bill would require automatic sequestration cuts across the board, something that has been confirmed by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) but has been largely absent from the debate over the bill. Medicare is one of the programs that will face the axe, and the damage sums to $490 billion over the next ten years, starting in the next fiscal year that begins in October. While many of the safety-net cuts in the bill are delayed to help Republicans with their re-election campaigns, the Medicare cuts must begin next year.

This is Sita, I adopted her in April 💕 She’d been at the shelter since January - she looked so sweet & sad in her online photo. When they changed her profile to say she could be a single cat I went to meet her & it was a match 🩷
Close up of a tabby cat sitting in a brown leather chair Screenshot of a shelter post: photo shows a tabby cat curled up in a tan cat bed in a cage. The text reads in part: “Sita is sweet, shy kitty looking for a home, ideally with another sweet kitty. She had a brother in her prior home who she adored (but he tragically died young.) Sita was brought to Buddy Dog because her owners traveled a lot and she was spending too much home alone. Sita loves to play with toy mice and balls (check out how proud she is to snag her toy mouse in this photo!)”

I lost Sophie to kidney disease last July, she was 16. She was the most affectionate cat I’d ever had. I miss her loud voice that came from her tiny body & having her sit on my lap 💕
