I'm not big on Bloody Mary (I'd rather have spicy Very Veggie with extra celery and Tabasco) but if you add Gamle Ode Dill Aquavit instead of vodka, and garnish with home-pickled beet, cucumber, and chiles, you get The Best Brunch Beverage I've Ever Had.

WOW.

10+ Republicans just flipped in Montana and voted to kill a 25 year statute of limitations on trans care meant to end care, amended it down to 4 years.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge. It's the most Republicans I've seen flip like this in recent memory.

Zooey's doing work.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I represented a bunch of the former vendors against Twitter when it stopped paying everyone.
It would not be a great government policy to make everyone afraid to contract with it.
One of the ways that Elon Musk tried to cut costs at Twitter was by simply *not paying rent.*

This wasn't an oversight. It is fundamental to his change management approach.

Don't pay rent. Make the other side renegotiate/sue. Reap the benefits.

And Musk just seized control of USG payment systems.
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NEWS:

Acting Treasury Secretary, David A. Lebryk: “the highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department is departing after a clash with allies of billionaire Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems.”

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Starting the Year of the Snake with the flu; trying to putter productively between three-hour naps and bouts of miserable contact with the news.

Good things: found the Wonkette Starter Pack; received my Brooklyn Lab Coffee shipment; played some Vera Lynn and it helped.

Hey: if you don't care about Mike Johnson's anti-trans provision "banning coverage of 'sterilizing' gender-affirming care under Tricare" being tacked on and waved through, will you care when non-gender-affirming sterilization is banned?

His crew are pregnancy fetishists. Their choice, not yours.
Today, Democratic Senators refused to hold a vote to remove the anti-trans amendment targeting healthcare of the trans children of service members from the NDAA.

Only 14 Senators voted against the final bill.

I wrote this on the Selfull woman in June. I repost with Nikki Giovanni’s words on my mind:

“…and he said: you pretty full of yourself ain’t chu

so she replied: show me someone not full of herself and i’ll show you a hungry person.”
