I'm sitting here drinking my coffee wondering what will happen this week. Weeks are always so full of insanity that it's interesting to sit here and wonder what'll it'll be this time. Any guesses?
I'll leave you with a Nate Silver tweet about the resistance.

Well hopefully the maga crowd will be too busy raking forests to cause problems.
I lived in a state that has horrible wildfires every year. I’m surprised this solution has never been brought up before.

PDQ
There was a credible threat my kids school that an 8th grader was going to bring in a gun today and "take care of" his bully. The school says the kid was suspended and there are extra police at the school, but I am not feeling great about my children being there right now.

I had a major nerd dream last night that I was part of a team, along with Barack Obama, working on an education initiative. At one point in my dream, my cell was ringing and it said “Barack calling” and I was trying to be casual about it.

My rep (Carolyn Maloney) is holding a town hall tonight on women’s issues. I want to go, but I also have to make something for my toddler’s thanksgiving potluck at daycare, and pack for us to leave Tuesday evening. Townhall before a holiday is annoying timing.

They're on recess this week. This week is so busy! But good for her for making the time.

redbears I would be terribly on edge too. I'm so sorry. I'm glad it was found out before something happened, and it is terrible that the bullied kid thought a gun was the only way to handle it.

Hello friends. Trying to catch up. I'm not sure I've comprehended anything that has happened in the last two weeks.

redbears, I'm sorry! That is terrifying. In middle school we had an incident like that where a girl I knew thru mutual friends was obviously having a tough time, and was in the process of being counseled when she threatened to come to school the next day and carry out an attack. My mom kept us home a day, even tho they removed her and had extra security on campus for a while. I hope the boy who made the threat gets some assistance in understanding and dealing with his feelings without violence.

That's so scary redbears. I don't know what I would do in that situation. It's obviously scary for the other kids, but I also feel for the kid who is being bullied and doesn't feel there's any other solution. He needs better support. :-(

Meanwhile, have we discussed the merits of taking forests yet? Naturally, the president of Finland isn't sure where #45 came up with that particular (supposed) piece of advice. I will say though I am enjoying the comic relief from the twitter posts using the hashtag #RakingAmericaGreatAgain.

It is making me very happy that the entire country of Finland is trolling our president.

So the WH is saying that they will pull Acostas pass again when the RO is up. I mean if you are going to argue that it was because of LACK OF DECORUM maybe let him back and see his behavior? or you know don't broadcast your game plan for the judge to see.

Yet again, the Mueller-themed ice cream truck will be by my office... when I am not there. Le sigh.
