A handful of Republicans in either the house or the Senate or both could stop all of this destruction today. And they will not.
They do not deserve a single moment of getting to feel like the hero unless they actually do the things that would save this country.
I just spent three days on the hill being told that even Republican members in Congress with sick children would not stand up for the science that would save their children’s lives and yours.
So no, these people are not your friend. They are not even a friend of their own blood.
I need everyone to understand that Republicans in Congress, who are fine doing this, who have no problem with ICE camps, who have no problem canceling your clinical trials, are not your friends. Even the ones you think are “good.”

Last night was a Gordian knot of neuroses & I didn't even come close to untangling anything. He said he made some frozen texas toast for dinner & the dog stole it so now he had nothing to eat. I looked around at the fridge, 2 freezers, cabinets & pantry bursting with food & suggested a TV dinner.
Last night Ernest went to our long-awaited Coheed & Cambria date night concert with a coworker while I finally succeeded in eating something heartier than ramen without instant regret. Bonus: Actually had a chat with T5 that started with him freaking out & ended with him calming down a bit.
He said he couldn't have a TV dinner because he had nothing to go with it. I went to the cabinet & showed him some canned vegetables (he doesn't like frozen). He said he needed corn. I showed him corn. He said it was the wrong KIND of corn. I asked him if he could just eat the TV dinner & he said no
Ice cream with breakfast/lunch/dinner? Pizza (ONLY pepperoni) or McDonald's chicken nuggets every meal? (We have frozen ones but they are insufficient for reasons he can't explain.) Sure! But sometimes we run out by accident & then I guess he decides he's not eating dinner & it's our fault
Asked if he was just going to starve himself until one of the 2-3 things he usually eats became available & he said that's what he usually does - & it's true. We had all those nutritionist consults because he already looks like he could blow away & he was losing weight. She said let him eat whatever
I have secured respite for him for a few days starting tomorrow so we can get the fuck away from each other. It's with his soon-to-be kinship provider. He's completely out of control but I suspect he'll button the fuck up for her & maybe get a handle on himself.
