apnews.com/live/donald-...  Details on bodycams for Chicago-area immigration agents will be discussed Monday It is utterly ridiculous for ICE to claim they don't have the money for body cameras! They have an insanely huge budget! I call BS. DOJ attorneys are constantly obfuscating!

So horrified and disgusted that today Hamas publicly executed Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel. Saw it on PBS Newshour.

Just have to vent. Really got into it on FB with a MAGA attorney. Usually ignore, but this time I let loose! Have blocked him. Would quit FB my Bitty Kitty Brigade group posts notices, events, medical info, photos, etc. on there. Plus there’s an adoption group so I can see my kittens grow up!

NO to Sen. Thune’s suggestion that Repubs will “promise” to discuss extension of ACA tax credits AFTER Dems vote to end shutdown! You cannot trust them! He’s also saying ACA needs reforms in order to consider extension of tax credits (like lowering income eligibility). NO!

apnews.com/live/donald-...  Noem says Homeland Security is looking to buy facilities in Chicago and Portland I can't stand her!!

Happy Caturday! My fosters Declan and sister Rory taking a post-lunch nap on this very hot & windy day in October (climate change is real, MAGA). Kittens are seven weeks, both eating meats now, which means I can sleep more! Yay!

IMHO, Dems must stand firm, despite threats from orange stain & evil thing behind Project 2025 re: permanent layoffs & taking away appropriated funds from blue states. (Gov. Walz was pissed!) Dems CANNOT TRUST Repubs to negotiate on extending ACA tax credits “later!” Dems have leverage!

The reports out of Gaza are HORRIFIC!! Listening to BBC. Children sleeping in tents suffering terrible burns and head injuries from shrapnel. Where are people supposed to go, and how, when they have no money, transport, and have elderly parents and newborn babies! Netanyahu etal are war criminals!

I know this sounds naive & I’m preaching to the choir, but I’m so pissed off about the blatant lies told by orange stain & loser JD! They claim Dems want to provide healthcare to the undocumented, thus the shutdown. Stupid MAGAs will believe this!! 🤮🤮🤮

Happy Caturday from my sweet six week old fosters, Declan (gray swirly tabby)and Rory (girl, calico or “tabbyco”). They bring fun, joy, and calm.🐾🐾❤️

Loving attorney Ty Cobb on PBS Newshour right now. He’s not holding back in his criticism of orange stain and DOJ. Called the administration authoritarian and opined orange blob’s orders to those of dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, and Allende.

Medicare.gov is SO STUPID. New huge booklet came, said 2026 Medicare Advantage plans can be found online and in back of booklet. But neither contain info, premiums, max OOP for 2026!! JFC! Likely will go with BCBS as my current UHC plan sucks and so does their “customer service.”

How am I supposed to have a discourse with people who think black pilots are unqualified or that a certain number of gun deaths a year are ok if they get to keep their assault rifles and high capacity magazines?!

So disillusioned with NYT & now PBS Newshour. Canceled NYT as normalizing orange stain. Now tonight on Newshour with Brooks & Capehart, no discussion of administration claiming those criticizing Kirk post murder (NOT assassination) will be prosecuted. 1A for them but not for us!

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/u... Astounding violation of the First Amendment! Be that as it may, our current federal government does not follow the Constitution.

I abhor guns, this country has more guns than people and we are SICK. I hate political violence of any kind (Jan 6 comes to mind) including verbal threats! But when NPR sez it’s gonna talk about Charlie Kirk’s “legacy,” I want to🤮🤮🤮!! He fomented violence, huge racist, was a misogynist, etc.!

Here’s an outrage balm- my newest fosters, almost three weeks! Rory (girl, calico) and Declan. Up every 3.5 hours to feed.

Good god, who are the 26% of Americans who trust RFK Jr’s “medical advice”?!! (Statistic on PBS Newshour just now). He must go!!! Chaos causing lunatic! Every person in this country who wants a COVID vaccine must be able to get one at NO COST! Color me LIVID! Thx for your attention to this matter.

More murders and war crimes by Netanyahu and complicit administration and military leaders. Al Jazeera journalists murdered. I have outrage fatigue. Sickened and disgusted. They were targeted so the world can’t get information on Netanyahu’s relentless genocide!!!

Happy Caturday! Here’s my foster Zoltan, who’s 12 weeks and up for adoption. His brothers were adopted as a pair, and he’s a bit lonely, but does play with my one year old kitty. Go to bittykittybrigade.org and click on available kittens!

Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/w... Netanyahu and his government are guilty of WAR CRIMES and GENOCIDE!!!

Trump’s Purge of Foreign Workers Arrives at Amazon’s Warehouses www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/t... This is heartbreaking, infuriating, pointless, and cruel!!! All these good people want is to work hard and provide for their families. Keep immigrants, deport the racist administration!

My “KEEP IMMIGRANTS - DEPORT RACISTS” yard sign should arrive any day now.

IMHO- Lisa Murkowski just shit the bed!!!

OMFG this fucking bitch Tricia McLaughlin for Homeland Security on PBS Newshour right now. Didn’t give a straight answer once, complete lies, so much BS. So sick of hearing “this is what the American people wanted.” Nope!! 🤮🤮🤮

The depths of orange blob’s idiocy are astounding. His statements on Iran are contradictory and he sounds like a third grader. He’s going to start WW III🤬

www.theatlantic.com/health/archi... You bet he did!!

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Despicable, scary, unbelievable. I spent part of my childhood at Fort Bragg; my Dad was a captain at the time. He would roll over in his grave at this. Disgusting lack of leadership; dumbing down of our military.

Kennedy Removes All C.D.C. Vaccine Panel Experts www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h... He is an abomination! Republicans, you are responsible for the deaths and suffering that will result from the insanity of this twisted moron! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

3/ admissions process, maybe hungry as no SNAP, no health care as no Medicaid, maybe courses and majors no longer available due to fascist edicts, etc. Working, school, helping grandma. Orange blob & his ilk don’t believe these students deserve to get a good, higher education. Fuck that guy!!!

2/ These students are Latinx, African American, & Asian American. They touched my heart; so earnest, challenges re: family, finances, being accepted as gay. What would their path be like if they were seniors now- in light BBB? Big limitations on Pell grants & loans, no DEI to be considered in

1/ Anyone seen The Class, on PBS? Highly recommended. Follows a group of seniors at Deer Valley HS in Antioch, CA, 37 miles east of Oakland. COVID shutdown started March of their junior year. Imagine finishing high school and applying to colleges, working with guidance counselor, all remotely.

I’m usually a big PBS Newshour supporter, but their mainstream media approach in reporting on the murder of two Jewish staffers of the Israeli Embassy in DC and of the bill that barely passed in the House (and will literally starve and kill people) is really disappointing.

So incredibly disgusted by orange diktater’s treatment of Ramaphosa and his contingent in the Oval Office, besmirching it once again. Ramaphosa was totally cool and civil, making the orange POS look like even more of a racist asshole.

The scenes from Gaza on PBS Newshour are so horrible and sickening. Children starving. Netanyahu forcibly displacing Gazans to smaller and smaller areas. Bulldozers coming in. Anything that’s left standing being bombed. Only 9 trucks with food were allowed in. Where is the world wide outrage! 😫

Just read in NYT that FDA has announced, without input from CDC (is there anyone there?), that COVID vaccines for this fall will be limited to those over 65 or with underlying health conditions. No definition of underlying condition. I’m over 65 and livid!! What about my daughter who’s a teacher?!!

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/w... This is abhorrent! Afrikaners invented apartheid! But sure, they can fly here at dicktater’s invitation. In the meantime, unidentified Gestapo/SS disappear immigrants, some citizens, many here legally, in the cruelest manner possible. Disgusting!

Pix of my first foster kittens of the season…they provide a much needed distraction and lower my stress level.🐾❤️

I heard parts of Biden’s interview on BBC Newshour, and read about it. IMHO he sounded quite coherent and made good points. Steven Cheung then spewed such gratuitous bile and lies in response. That guy is just awful! His head is so far up the bloated orange POS!

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Excellent article about what a difference the program which provides grants to train medical residents in rural areas makes in terms of available treatment and health outcomes. Pretty sure this crucial program will be gutted. Outrageous.

JFC! So much BAD SHIT I don’t even know what to put on my sign for Hands Off! day. The Nazi style disappearing of people, nonsensical tariffs that will destroy the economy, national security fuck ups that will lead to WW III, Elon destroying our government including social security, diseases coming😢

Fire Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz!! Hegseth put war plans against Yemen in a Signal chat group, which DOD officials said could, in & of itself, be a violation of the Espionage Act. But, included in the chat was Atlantic editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, added by Waltz!!

My plan was to go to a nearby Tesla dealership where there is a peaceful protest every Saturday. I got my sign materials and ready to go. But now, being older & thus feeling more vulnerable, a bit scared, even if my face is covered. Yet, I don’t want to give in to intimidation. Thoughts?

🍊 says that he wants to arrest American citizens who vandalize Tesla & send them to Cetco prison in El Salvador. You think he doesn’t mean it but at this point I kinda believe people will be disappeared, irrespective of immigration status; 🍊 will disappear citizens who criticize him.

Things are SO bad. Law firm capitulates to 🍊EO. Will other law firms? Columbia capitulates to🍊threat as would lose millions in funding for research. Will other universities? Brooks on PBS tonight says 🍊not transactional, he’s an extortionist! Brooks is a conservative.

I am fucking so sick of the liars and haters 🍊, felon, Rubio and the entire administration!! Today they claim that as part of any agreement to end war in Ukraine, they will try to rescue stolen Ukrainian children. But, 🍊cut off funding to track the kids weeks ago!! Assholes!🤮🤮🤮

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/b... Today was a bad day. On top of this, Magats have ramped up threats on federal judges in light of 🍊and fElon’s inciting rhetoric. Plus fElon has now donated max amount to Repubs who want to impeach good, impartial judges.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Supreme Court Denies Bid to Freeze Nearly $2 Billion in Foreign Aid www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03... Yeah baby! Eat it orange blob and Elon!

Snowy day In Minneapolis; my two foster fails Francie and Audie seeing their first big snow.❄️

youtu.be/3gzo7PiFiaM This speech touched my heart! If only everyone thought this way, maybe Palestinians might someday have a homeland. They are so right that Trump, by strongly supporting Netanyahu, is blocking any chance of a two state solution.
