Unabashedly proud liberal married child-less Episcopalian cat lady who tries to help young people stay healthy and safe while they study abroad (by day) and reads modern theology and watches Bravo (by night). So, basically everything JD Vance hates. 🤷‍♀️

I missed this entirely:

The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines.

Musk demanded he resign.

He did.

On January 20th.

Seems relevant about the hiring freeze Trump implemented that applied to FAA air traffic controllers.

Only one day into #confirmationhearings and I am already completely sick to my stomach. How’s your day going?

Crockett: It was my ancestors that built the White House. If we have been good enough to build this country, we are good enough to serve in other ways. Stop trying to act as if only white men are the ones that are capable because you’re sitting with 3 very capable black women

What a beautiful #funeral (using the Episcopal rite, no less) for an incredible human being.

May light perpetual shine upon you, #JimmyCarter.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Just a timeline cleanser from Malabar, who is far less creepy than she appears.

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.
