FYI, Patrick McHenry, the pro temp of the House, and the apparent caretaker-speaker, is a GOP hack from way back. He was a Rove stooge for the 2000 bush campaign, and created and ran the “NotHillary.com” site. Here’s a 2005 profile that’s 100% cringeworthy.

Just checking in on the #Trump trial via Klasfeld.

Oh, he's still fuming... Guess things suck for him.

"Chris Kise raises a series of statute of limitations objections, overruled by the judge in that the state is allowed to show a pattern or practice.

👉 Trump, visibly displeased even sitting behind him, crosses his arms tightly and shakes his head."👈

Being a single mom is not easy, and the scrutiny that single mothers face can be incredibly unjust.

My son was put into foster care. But what I find even more heart-wrenching is that so many children from married families are out on the streets, struggling, and yet no one says anything about it.

🚸 We need to break the stigma and challenge the unfair judgments that single moms face, regardless of their family structure. 💕

That makes sense.

So. Boss just called to tell me that the libraries have had a FOIA request for any emails having to do with #BannedBooksWeek. I wasn't on the committee for it, but I did organize an event in conjunction with the public library for it. I suppose it could be someone looking to praise us for our efforts, but somehow I doubt it and I expect this to mean trouble. #BookBans #Florida

Truth Social account surpasses the #Trump campaign's account in followers on the app in just two days.

@RickiTarr Also, in terms of disability, we should stop pretending that they don't exist. I like to watch a British gardening show called Gardeners World, and the visibility is off the charts: one of the presenters is a "thalidomide baby" without arms, who is charming and a very competent gardener. There is a family with two daughters with Down syndrome, and they are skilled gardeners and delightful people. Many times they've featured gardens of wheelchair-bound people. None of this in the US...

Please proceed.

Republican Steve Womack says he believes #JimJordan going to a third House Speaker vote will be the "final straw."

"I personally think that if we go to a third vote it's gonna get worse. It could get a lot worse."

“Opposition grows” is a phrase I love to read in relation to Jim Jordan. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-67149185

Fun things to do with dogs as they approach middle age.

Watching Jim Jordan fail repeatedly and spectacularly to become Speaker of the House is the kind of feel-good news story I think we all needed this week.
