Guys I had a benadryl dream that I was working in the Bartlet White House OMG Please tell me I was Josh. 😂😂😂 no but that would have been very funny! The characters were all themselves but I was somehow Donna with more power? CJ brought me an amazing Starbucks drink and Josh and I were working out how to get rid of Kavanaugh but we were in Switzerland for some reason, and Abbey was playing with my kids while I worked.

It drives me nuts when MAGAts call into CSPAN as "independents" Same. And of course like proper Republicunts, change the topic to something completely different because they can't defend the stance R's are taking right now because their moral high ground is tainted.

So I admittedly have been rather emotional this week, so the Cokie news is hitting me especially hard. Cancer sucks. I hate it so much.

My dad was born in Brazil. For a time I had dual citizenship but haven't renewed in the last decade.* Both of my countries are massive let downs on a wiiiiiide array of issues lately. *Although I kind of want to now because then I could vote against Bolsonaro.

I just got an email from my moms demand team
You may have heard already, but Democratic senators are planning to hold the senate floor throughout the night tonight to discuss gun violence and try and push Mitch McConnell to hold a floor vote for background checks on all gun sales. We need to contact Senator Risch and Senator Crapo in mass today and demand they vote for background checks on all gun sales. Please call Senator Risch and Sentor Crapo today, even if you have called several times already. Here are numbers for quick reference: Senator Crapo: ID: 208-334-1776, DC: 202-224-6142 Senator Risch: ID: 208-342-7985, DC: 202-224-2752 *Very important: end your call by saying “to clarify, I am FOR background checks on all gun sales”
Thank you for everything you do to help end gun violence!
obviously you can change the numbers to your senator

If you all need some good news today, here is an update on the Busch Light venmo guy from last weekend. There is still good out there. This is going to be a great donation to our Children’s Hospital.

That comment had me feeling a way, too, but on reflection it's not the use of the word cunt that bothers me as much as it is the general baseness of name-calling that rubs me the wrong way. Besides, cunts are amazing. But as my H often says, "why is it ok to use "dick" as an insult if not "cunt"?" And in the interest of neutrality and equality, I prefer "asshole." Everyone's got one, and it spews poop.

I don't like this
This is big: DOJ wants Supreme Court to hear challenge to CFPB structure, argues CFPB director's power is unconstitutional. BUT the government says court can sever appointment provision instead of wiping out the whole agency

Missed this during school pickup
Rep. Mark Meadows, who does not sit on the Judiciary Committee, just arrived here.
He went behind the dais to chat with Rep. Jim Jordan, only to be confronted by Judiciary Dem counsels.
I couldn’t hear what they were saying but it appeared to be a heated exchange.

Feel good local government story: ds is 4 and a huge nature nerd. He’s been obsessed with bats for two years, wants to be one for Halloween again, wants a bat house for Christmas, we celebrated Bat Week last year, etc. The goal of Bat Week is to raise awareness to issues facing bats and the role they play in the environment. I saw they had a letter campaign to try to get every state to proclaim Bat Week and figured it was a good way to start introducing civics and government to ds. He sent letters to our governor and state rep, although he may have been more excited about putting them in the big blue box.
Today he got the most amazing letter back from our state rep and she’s trying to get it done! She explains that the rules and timing at the state capital can be “a little tricky” but she’s going to try very hard to get her resolution passed in time. And even invited him to the capital (“if your parents say it’s okay, of course!”) or her local office once it’s passed. The fact that she/her team took the time to break it down for a little kid instead of a more generic form letter has this former social studies teacher all 😭.
He is so excited for his important letter on fancy stationery. I have the best photo of him holding his letter and I wish I could post it but there’s waaaaay too much info in there.
