Yesterday, Robert Reich published his first post in his new series on Project 2025<\/a>. Also, the names of the two Trump** staffers who accosted the cemetery employee were learned and released by NPR and you can probably find them just about anywhere now. Left Action alreade has a petition to prosecute the one who got physical (Michel Picard – Jen Luc and Patrick Stewart would both be disappointed.) Finally, since Wonkette and Talking Points Memo and others are recommending Joyce Vance<\/a> as the authority on the meeting in Judge Chutkan’s courtroom regarding the election interference case, the least I can do is provide the link.\u00a0 Oh, and one more thing — not only is Liz Cheney voting for Harris – so is her father.<\/p>\n

Wonkette is not exactly noted for good news, but it was Wonkette which referred me to this story, which made Rebecca (Wonkette owner and editrix [her term]) cry (I don’t know how hard that is – she comes across as pretty tough, but she wouldn’t run the project if she didn’t give a damn about others.) Why can’t all people act like this<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I know everyone who reads here loves animals. This story is something I had not thought about, but now that I know it exists<\/a>, I can see how badly it is needed. It didnn’t happen in my home – but many substance abusers, including alcoholics become so impossible to live with that human loved ones leave before they hit bottom. And then it’s the animals who are vulnerable.<\/p>\n
