If you live in Texas, it will soon be illegal for your children to pretend to be cats, or any other animal. Tails, ears, even meowing like a cat, will soon be unlawful. And don't think it will stop there. Once this passes in Texas, it's just a matter of time before Republicans push it nationwide.

Students would be forbidden from barking, meowing, hissing and using litter boxes.

"It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny."

So, Mexico "caved" by promising what they were already giving under Biden, and Canada "caved" by promising what they had already pledged us last December, also under Biden. Basically, toddler Trump threw another Trumper tantrum, so they gave him his Binky back.

Elon Musk is doing to our government the functional equivalent to finding a telephone distribution box, opening it up, indiscriminately ripping out a bunch of wires without having any idea what they do, then patting himself on the back for a job well done.
