  2. It’s me. Three hours later. I missed my 2am sleep window, so I’m hoping to make my 4am window. My dog has been asleep for the past three hours (TRAITOR), so my cat and I are just chilling. I might have eaten a sleeve of cookies, milk, a seltzer, and olives. Don’t judge.

  6. So, I’m still awake. Dog is sleeping and looking all cute. Thank y’all for your responses. I read them but couldn’t reply to them all - but I did appreciate them nonetheless. (We live on the top floor of an apartment complex, so a back yard and doggie door aren’t options.) 💜

  8. I was falling asleep, then... DOG: whimper ME: Seriously? Now? DOG: whimper ME: Sigh. Okay. ME: *puts on jeans under nightshirt, pulls on Uggs, gets glasses, keys, baggies, leash, and heads out* DOG: *pees profusely outside* ME and DOG: *return home* Now I’m fully awake.

  9. Imagine if the were as upset by brown children dying in U.S. custody as they are about a brown congresswoman swearing. Only one of those things is truly obscene.

  11. Listen to what Rollins is actually saying though: 1. has them SPOOKED by overtly championing pre-Reagan era tax rates. 2. She largely BY HERSELF in ONE interview has SHIFTED THE OVERTON WINDOW on tax rates. 3. In desperation, he attempts to turn other Dem women against her.

    🚨Please follow and UNFOLLOW . 🚨 The outgoing committee switched the name of the account instead of handing it over to the Dems, taking all the followers with them. Not sure why allowed this.

  19. Congressperson does an excellent job here explaining progressive tax rates. Today’s massive wealth inequality is rooted firmly in the Reagan tax cuts and other GOP tax cuts before then.

  21. Read this thread to understand marginal tax rates a bit more and why the GOP is spooked (hint: it’s on behalf of a much tinier portion than 1% of the population):
