Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sadly, I think we need to keep Warren in the senate for now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd like to keep Warren as my senator for sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just saw Newsome's statement about replacing Harris in the Senate and I don't really know what to expect there, either. This is all way more fine-grained than I can keep up with.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I am quietly delighted by the Biden campaign's statement that it's completely irrelevant if the current president does not concede the election:

"As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House."

In other news, I am feeling sufficiently better about things to have made an appointment for an eye exam and new glasses. TWO pairs of glasses?!? Who even am I? I have these in the green at the bottom and really like the shape of them on my face, so will pick up the gray and pink ones.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Turns out I'm not the only one suggesting they check DJT's luggage before he's evicted ... and his kids' (I've said to count the spoons, but I think he'd be going for more ... like those silver statuettes he snagged from the ambassador to France). Although, considering his penchant for gold, he might latch on to any gold-plated anything that's not nailed down.

What is even happening?

So if I'm following this right, Putin is roommates with _______ ?

He's subletting from them, brenda.

I'd like to see Susan Rice as secretary of state, though the confirmation might turn into a circus. Samantha Power would be another good choice.

Chief of Staff - Karen Bass

HHS - Julian Castro again

Treasury - Maybe Paul Krugman? I don't really know a lot of potentials. It would be nice to see someone not coming from a big bank.

AG - Stacy Abrams

Others, I dunno.

Pete could do Veterans Affairs nicely.

No one contentious will get through easily.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Julian Castro somewhere for sure.
