I’m holding my breath starting at 3:58 p.m.
“Speaker Mike Johnson just announced he’ll swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva tomorrow (that’s today!) at 4 p.m. Grijalva will be the 218th signature needed on the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing all of the Epstein files.” ~Republicans against Trump 11/11/2025

Might I indulge in mockery of the man whom I will henceforth refer to as ASYN? (Come on, do I really need to splain?: ‘I and state your name.’) This is a classic and I might post it everyday:
What excellent literal reading skills.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the following BREAKING NEWS story is misleading.:
“The Supreme Court has extended the pause to allow the Trump administration to withhold covering full SNAP benefits in November for FORTY-TWO MILLION Americans.”
I am pretty sure Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown is handling Trump’s ASYN’s demand to deny SNAP benefits, even though the money exists in a fund for emergencies such as this. She has not granted his request; she has sent it back to the appellate court that told him to release the funds.
Whether I’m right or I am wrong, Trump ASYN continues to abuse his authority over the Supreme Court that he chose this time, asking them to throw out his defamation conviction won by E. Jean Carroll.

ASYN claims to have a 92% approval rating. HA! I’d love to know how the 8% who disapprove got enough tickets to fill the stadium for the Commanders football game. You know the game where ASYN had air force one do a low flyover. The one where he read something that was supposed to honor the military, but he was drowned out by booing.
The New RFK Stadium.
ASYN is pushing for the new Commander’s stadium to be named after him. Is that how this works? Did RFK demand the original building honor his memory?
Demolition of the RFK Stadium is underway to make way for the modern facility, which is expected to open in 2030. It is already referred to as “The New RFK Stadium.”
If ASYN’s rapid physical decline continues, by 2030, he’ll be a decomposing carcass. A bad memory; a story that will bore young history students.
*The Washington Commanders are temporarily using Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, which was formerly known as FedEx Field.
I’m so tired of this timeline. I’m so tired of waiting for goodness to prevail.
Grrrr… Okay, I will be more positive, because life is fleeting, and this situation has been festering for a decade.

*UPDATE
I held my breath and survived.
A lot from Lydia 
Ah, yes. Exciting times for the 92% favored president.
a “near-deafening roar,” as people cheered, booed, gave a thumbs down or middle fingers, and clapped.
Holding my breath in solidarity with you.

Other news today (Nov.18, 2025) ~ Texas National guardsman and federal “officers” are leaving Chicago. This thrills me no end. I hope I got it right. I’ve become emotionally attached to Chicago while eyeballing on the computer recent events there ~ although I’ve only been there once, a few hours at the airport, many years ago…
