I love April Ryan Ooh the fur is flying. @realdonaldtrump responded to a reporters question about Omarosa’s book. He called her a “lowlife” twice.

Chris Collins suspending re-election bid.
Collins released a statement Saturday morning saying he will suspend his campaign and fill out the rest of his term. Collins was indicted Wednesday on charges he used inside information about a biotechnology company to make illicit stock traders. He had said later that day he would remain on the ballot despite the indictment and fight the charges.
"I have decided that it is in the best interests of the constituents of NY-27, the Republican Party and President Donald Trump's agenda for me to suspend my campaign for re-election to Congress," the statement said.

I'm sorry fatpony that is some bullshit. I find freemies helpful for pumping in semi-public. I use them for pumping in my car but you might like them for your cube as well.

Is there an earthquake? Bc girlfriend is spilling all her tea. She also claims the Trumps offered her $15k a month to sign an NDA barring her from speaking I'll of POTUS, VPOTUS, their families or the administration. That's...not much money. It was equal to her White House salary I believe

Saw this on FB. Is this true? I believe it, but wasn’t sure. And OMG I believe it. And all the stories about people buying teachers cars, classroom supplies, etc. It is despicable that we don't pay teachers enough or fund classrooms enough. I've spent $350 over the last month to supply my own classroom. And this is while I'm going 12 weeks without a paycheck too so money is tight, but I also can't go back in three weeks without basics to run my room. I believe the GFM, absolutely.

Today's posts are brought to you by: 1: Rage at being back at work from 2 month maternity leave 2: my baby not doing well at taking bottles 3: subsequent lack of sleep from feeding her all night 4: pumping in my cube because i refuse to take vacation time to cover my pump breaks Hugs. None of that is ok. I hope baby starts taking a bottle better. But the rest including pumping in your cube or making you use vacation is bull.

sherminatorI just saw this one in my library today. Something Happened in Our Town Something Happened in Our Town describes a traumatic event—a police shooting—from the perspective of a White family and an African American family. This story models productive conversations around racial-ethnic socialization and social-emotional learning, and provides an excellent platform for discussing social justice and race relations with children. Includes a “Note to Parents and Caregivers” with conversation guides, child-friendly vocabulary, and lists of related resources. www.amazon.com/Something-Happened-Our-Town-Injustice/dp/1433828545 I have heard good things about this book. Just a heads up though, my friend who read it to her 4.5 year old and felt it wasn’t quite age appropriate. I know sherminator’s son is older but I wanted to share in case others were following for recommendations. I’m holding off til closer to age 5+ for my kids based on her input.

Saw this on FB. Is this true? I believe it, but wasn’t sure. And OMG I believe it. Most of our friends from CHOP (including us) use it for medical bills, Cobra OR to off set travel/food/parking/gas expenses back and forth to the hospital. We have been so thankful for people donating to DDs.

Omarosa recorded her firing and TMZ posted it. She remains quite calm throughout. Seems.to contradict the report at the time that she was dragged from the WH. I tend to not believe a word she says but this has me huh-ing.
