Love rats. We had two when my kids were little. They (rats not kids) were box-trained and had the run of the house along with dog, cats, conure, a five-foot iguana and temporary rescue cases. Bliss.

Try raisins. My cat will sit, stay and 'up' (because cats don't beg) for raisins.

Agree. Thanks for stating this so clearly for so many. Gives me more courage. We all need every drop of courage we can get.

Time for a radical Spring Cleaning. Corporations, not 'bad' per se, aren't people. And the very rich? A few might squeak through the needle's eye. But let's get them the hell out of the electoral process. We need strict contribution limits, as in other first world countries.

As sent this morning: Mr. Schumer, America needs a Watch Dog, not a Dead Dog. Your decision was a chance for the Democrats to finally draw a desperately overdue line. You blew it. This life-long Democrat and millions of others won't be contributing one cent to the party of Roll Over and Play Dead.

To be clear, Canada has held a special immigration door open for high net worth applicants. So I doubt strict illegality. Morally this pales compared to stripping off the protected status of Haitians and Venezuelans, sending them to torture, death, or condemning kids to disease, or--fill in here.

Be still my heart. And LISTEN.

Not to mention a waste of time and money. Where is the E in DOGE?

Great work. The mess around how to teach reading is a literal scandal. (Tip: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.) But to cut funding for and generally dumbing down public education has been the Republican program since Reagan. Sowing increasing crops of deplorables, and now the GOP harvests the reward.
