It’s a totally wiped out day, here in the CatBox. The time change still has me off base, and I could not sleep all night. WWWendy and the nurse were here past noon. It seems that by mentioning her name in a political venue, I inadvertently violated a company policy, so I shall not do do again. I need to spend the day trying to catch up on sleep. Tuesday is Flush your Republicans day, and I just made it in time to avoid a pants-load. I’ll try to rest up now.

The Damage Report – I personally would be more enthusiastic about Election Day being a holiday if there were so much as ONE holiday that still signifies the original intent of making it a holiday in the first place. As it is, I do not think that is the way to go.

when i was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical and all the gop, well they’d be all about security oh, sanity, without sean hannity
but then they all went away, forgot how to be sensible neanderthals, not responsible or practical and they showed all the world, they could not be dependable about things clinical, they’d be so criminal
there are times, i think they’ve gone asleep their gene pool’s not too deep they have no health care plan won’t you please, please tell me what they’ve learned i know they are absurd they’re just another klan
Karen – I know, hard to believe. No, I don’t know whether she was charged with a fake 911 call. I ust hope so.

Katie Porter explains the “American Rescue Plan.” It’s 33+ minutes and the sound isn’t that great…but it does have CC and it’s Katie Porter. Maybe bookmark it.
Damage Report – Here’s what actually happened. The senate voted Friday to move her nomination to the full Senate, and the actual confirmation is expected on Monday.
Senator Sheldon Whitehuse on judges. (or on Lawrence O’Donnell about judges.) Important, because mostly overlooked.
Armageddon Update – I think Titus is correct as far as he goes. But I would have named Philip first (and Camilla third.)

Beau on Tfucker Carlson (pity he doesn’t have a mechanism to flip his hat patch in the middle of a video. That would be something to see.
It’s a crazy day here in the CatBox. WWWendy and I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and I slept as much as I could… not nearly enough. I think my radius was insufficient for the pi I tried to eat for dessert. And my pi R round. Have a wonderful day!

Here’s something nice: Senator Martin Heimrich (D-NM) speaking in favor of the nomination of Representative Deb Haaland (D-NM) to head the Interior Department.
Congresswoman Haaland has lived experience–as a single mother, as a small business owner, and as a Tribal administrator–that will serve her well and bring real representation to President Biden’s Cabinet. As many have noted, Congresswoman Haaland will also make history as the first-ever Native American Cabinet secretary, something that frankly should have happened a long, long time ago. Deb is uniquely qualified to restore the Department of Interior’s nation-to-nation relationship to Tribal Nations and to help Indian Country recover and rebuild from COVID-19.
This was Thursday. Under 7 minutes and – professional – and personal.
Also Thursday. To quote “Mineral Man at Democratic Underground, “This Is How a Real President Signs a Bill. Maybe the most important one so far. No crowd of grinning assholes behind you. No holding up something to show your illegible signature. You say a few words, sign the bill, and go back to work.”
All the REAL former presidents make a PSA for vaccines.
