Well apparently there’s only a three week supply of avocados if it’s shut down. But it probably has to do with other goods manufactured outside the US and not avocados My husband will have a conniption. We eat a lot of avocado in our house. I've been seeing a lot of jokes about this being the thing that will get millennials to the voting booth, which *eyeroll* but also *nod*.

So depressing that a lack of avocados will enrage people against this government, but you know, not children kept in literal cages under a bridge.

I tried to explain why T was considering closing the border this morning to my fifth grader and the best I could do was “he’s a moron, who doesn’t listen to smart people”. Fail, but also not wrong. (DS Heard about the avocados)

(DS Heard about the avocados) Closing the border is such a colossal economic misstep (beyond being racist). He clearly doesn’t get how much movement happens daily by working people in both directions between Mexico and the US for border city economies to function. Or how many products from other international sources move through those borders. I’m sick of his bigotry and I’m sick of his terrible decision making in terms of economics and security.

If anyone is by a computer and wants to listen in on some wonky shit today, OGR is about to markup the subpoena for White House Security Director Carl Kline, and HFR is having a 10 a.m. hearing about how climate change affects national security.

(I've also confused Swalwell with Kinzinger with quick glances before too, its some sort of facial blindness on my part)

Everyone please read this thread about how to be an ally to people with autism Sixty million thumbs up. Between 3/21 for Down syndrome and 4/2 for autism, I'm so so so ready to be done with people wanting to be inspired by my doubly different kid.

The sound went out for Jordan’s part. It was fun watching him shout on silent. I started listening to Jordan and I want to throw things - I did like the part where he says "I never seen anything like this" and Cummings (I think) is going 'please" and "you've done it". Soldiering on...

WTAF
T says his father was born in Germany. He was born in New York.
ETA: Daniel Dale is saying this is at least the 3rd time he’s made that claim publicly. So not a mistake between father and grandfather.
