Thanks to everyone who mentioned this. I did this interview in early sep. had no idea it was coming out til this evening. my interview was cut to a few snippets but at least you can see Larry with me briefly.
One of the most famous addresses in the world, 10 Downing Street in London, is home not just to prime ministers, but also to a 19-year-old tabby cat named Larry.
@HollyMAWilliams looks at how the official pet of the British leader’s residence and Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office has become a favorite to the press — and a political fixture whose nine lives have so far outlasted five prime ministers.

LOL 😂 I see I’m not the only one who finds it hugely entertaining that Camilla left Charles in the dust… erm, I mean rain… looking out only for herself.
I pulled these comments together for your entertainment. 🤭
A Tale of Two Wives …
Dubbo, Australia: Meghan stands in the rain holding an umbrella over Harry while he speaks.
Antigua: Camilla grabs the umbrella and leaves cancer-stricken Charles to fend for himself in a tropical downpour… looking quite pleased with herself.
Moral of the story: Choose your wife wisely. Side chicks have a habit of disappearing when things get tough.😂

This is purposeful voter suppression by Ohio Statehouse Republicans
They passed a law allowing only ONE early vote location per county, no matter the county size or population. They knew this would create lines in places like Cbus, Cincinnati, & Cleveland, but not rural areas

When people joke that my cat is spoiled, I remember that she's spent her whole life making mine better.

Right now, across this great land, there are felines demanding to be fed as their humans claim it's not time for dinner. Your silly time changes don't affect us, humans--we know when it's dinner time, no matter what your stupid clock says.

I’ve never had a Muslim tell me what I can and can’t do. But Christians have been telling me what I can and can’t do my entire fucking life.

Haley Stevens October Surprise was a planned AIPAC operation. AIPAC invested $36,305,375 in AIPAC Haley and only $6,100,004 in Mike Rogers
This was no spur of the moment decision by Stevens to screw over El -Sayed after she was asked to not show up at El-Sayed events. This is what AIPAC ,AIPAC Haley and Mike Rogers planned all along.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.
