<\/p>\nYesterday I saw my doctor … he loves seeing me because I am organized when I go there, have updated and printed my list of meds and anything else I’m doing to my body (like the TENS, of which he approves “no side effects”) Sadly (though I’m glad he mentioned it) I learned from him of the death of the husband of a former nurse of his, whom I consider a good friend. I was not as close to her husband, but he did take care of one of my cats for the last year or so of his (the cat’s) life (he [the husband] was a DVM). When I got home I immediately tried to reach Terri but had to leave a voicemail.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes told Jake Tapper, \u201cThere were many, frankly a handful, of conservative Democrats in the House that threatened to get on planes rather than hold this vote.” Instead of passing the buck and all the blame to the Jim Jones party, AOC also held her party accountable. “We cannot, in good faith, blame the Republican Party when House Democrats have the majority.”

\nQuote – For days, Rep. Cori Bush demanded that President Joe Biden and lawmakers in Congress move to reinstate a federal eviction moratorium that had expired on Saturday, putting millions of people at risk of being removed from their homes. She protested outside the U.S. Capitol building and slept in a chair on the Capitol steps for three nights.
\nClick through for story.<\/a> Cori Bush is a hero. The 19th is a relatively new (OK, quite new) outlet, but I like its emphases. Rep Bush isn’t a Senator, but she must make up a little for Hawley.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – [Maggie] Haberman criticized Meadows on CNN Monday for \u201cplaying into\u201d the outlandish conspiracy theory that the former president will somehow be \u201creinstated.\u201d \u201cThe reality is that former presidents don\u2019t have Cabinets and they don\u2019t have Cabinet meetings,\u201d she said. \u201cThis just creates this expectation for some of Trump\u2019s supporters who are looking for permission … to keep believing that there\u2019s some alternate universe.\u201d
