Thanks everyone. Here's a heartwarming pic of my cat giving her her morning lovins. I feel bad for her, she's going to be so confused. They have a daily routine. Love in the morning, and she sees us off for our nightly walk and watches until we return. ❤️

iruntodrink, I'm sorry. I think we all fear to make that choice too early, or too late. You're putting her welfare first.

Another day another shitshow of shootings and phobias. 😡 In other news, put out all the juju for me today..we are helping our Chessie cross the Bridge today. She's 14+ and declining by the week and it's such a hard decision but I have PTSD from the emergency situation of our last dog that I can't bear another. ❤️ ❤️❤️🌈🌈

This was a lot of bad news to wake up to. Jesus Christ, what in the actual fuck is wrong with EVERYTHING Everytime I get up to feed the baby in the middle of the night I brace myself before I look at my phone because there's always a news alert and it's rarely good news.

I’m so sorry Dr. CoxSimon and schuster are getting on my last ducking nerve. What the fuck? Who wants to hear from that piece of shit. My gosh. What the hell can he even have enough to say that’s worthy of printing. Is it sad that I feel like it’s going to be a bestseller?

S&S is pulling out of the book. Maybe next time don't do it in the first place? Like I know they're saying it's a distributor but come on.

iruntodrink I am so sorry. @dr. Cox I am happy your H is safe! I cannot believe we still have to wake up to news of gun violence daily. I mean, I can believe it but I wish I didn’t have to.

I feel like the stress of the pandemic is going to make gun violence worse now as things open up and people are vaccinated.

Jen is up in an extremely cute dress.
POTUS/VPOTUS have been briefed on the mass shooting in Indiana. They're really freaking sick of the gun violence. The administration calls on Congress to pass common sense gun legislation like HR 8.

POTUS is hosting a (virtual) climate summit next week. 40 world leaders as well as stakeholder group leaders have been invited. The entire thing will be live streamed for public viewing.

Reuters is asking about all the police violence and why infrastructure is happening right now instead of racial justice and gun violence prevention.
Jen says that leaders can do more than one thing at a time. The AJA strives to help address racial equity, POTUS is calling for gun sense legislation and police accountability legislation. Getting members of congress to the table on these issues takes time and effort but everyone at the WH is serious about making changes.

Mike Memoli: we're seeing an extraordinary whole of govt response to Covid--why not do that on gun violence?
(I love this question!)
Jen: POTUS definitely thinks gun violence is an epidemic and that the public wants action. He's taking executive action through DOJ but permanent changes can only happen through Congress or the states.

Will POTUS work with Republicans on a more narrow background checks bill?
Jen: why don't you ask Republicans why they don't support the expanded background checks bill that their constituents support
Butbutbut you're just passing the buck to Congress
Jen: stop it. He has a history of supporting and passing gun reform legislation. The separation of powers exists for a reason.
