I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving! If you expect to have guests make sure your cat has a safe, quiet place to chill where they can't slip outside. Just in case, make sure their ID collar is on and if they have a microchip check that it's updated. vcahospitals.com/urgent-care/...

Strategists keep making this point, and yet politicians struggle to inspire constituents ... watching what has happened with #IPEF is particularly frustrating because that was a first step in this renewed commitment.

Go placidly amid the skeets & reskeets,
And remember what clout there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all followers.
Quote-post quietly & clearly.
Block the dull & the ignorant;
They too have their story,
but you do not have to listen to it.
