Tweeting from Catbird Strategies LLC & the CA capitol. Lifelong #STLCards fan, anti-poverty, pro-punk. Opinions my own. She/her.

I'm excited to announce the launch of Catbird Strategies, a consulting firm focusing on health & human services policy & practice; budget & legislative strategy; IT-related strategic planning; and organizational management & DEI work.

More coming soon @ https://t.co/Ielnfx8J59

@damienleone We took two 12-y.o.'s on opening weekend and they were chased, jump-scared, and had a terrific time on the Terror Tram!

@shannonminter5 Don't start adopting these too! What would the cats think!? :)

[Cathy Senderling-McDonald @csend]

@shaneharrisnow NPR did a story on it.

@FoadZone Really like the jazzed-up info card that pops up when you interact with a droid! Saw it last night and had to show my husband, who couldn't care less. 🤣

Tried @capitaloneshop and it's nothing but a huge waste of time and extra popup ads. Supposedly my purchase this morning at Staples earned me $55 but with a master's degree for the life of me I can't figure out how to make the QR code and the app connect. Forget it.

[Union Station KC @UnionStationKC]

Tonight, we light up Union Station in orange and teal for Taylor Swift and red and gold for Travis Kelce.

Thank you, Travis and Taylor, for your incredible generosity today, supporting charities across the nation, including here in Kansas City, and making a lasting impact that will touch thousands of lives.

And from all of us at Union Station and throughout the Kansas City community, enjoy your special weekend. We send our congratulations and wish you every happiness together.

Tonight, the Kingdom lights shine for you. ❤️

@Fortnite I think if you master a sprite, you should be able to summon it back at that level or get it at level 1 but for free (or a smaller amount of sprite dust). To have to pay AND it reset to level 1 really kinda sucks.

Wanted: A very good boy

Reward: a dream day at @loanDepotpark

And approving state waivers that ban things like ice cream from being purchased using EBT.

The irony of a mascot named Milkshake at the department that is gleefully kicking millions off SNAP.

[Dept. of Agriculture @USDA]

USDA mascot roll call 🗣️

Happy National Mascot Day!

What Republican lawmakers said H.R. 1 would do: "Preserve SNAP for those who truly need it."

What it actually did: Tied up limited state capacity with complex & burdensome new requirements, causing families with kids to lose benefits because no one answers the phone.

[California Pan-Ethnic Health Network @CPEHN]

.@AsmWicks: Make behavioral health care more accessible and affordable for your constituents by voting YES on #AB2551.

Residents of #AD14 - like this mother of two who is also supporting a parent - have stories to share about their struggles accessing care:

[California Pan-Ethnic Health Network @CPEHN]

All eyes on @CAGovernor with his May Revision coming up tomorrow. We’re calling on the Governor to reverse his January #CABudget proposal to cut 200,000 vulnerable immigrants from Medi-Cal. He must stand by our state’s values and fight for #Health4All & #OurHealthOurFuture!

[California Pan-Ethnic Health Network @CPEHN]

Thank you @CASenateDems (@MoniqueLimonCA @SenJohnLaird @SenatorMenjivar) for your compassionate, common-sense leadership in crafting a #CABudget proposal that rejects @CAGovernor's cuts to immigrant health care and implements smart revenue solutions to protect CA's safety net.

[Food Research & Action Center @fractweets]

Congress should be strengthening SNAP, not advancing a Farm Bill that leaves devastating cuts in place. Millions of people could lose benefits while states take on new administrative costs. Tell your Members to reject this bill: https://t.co/855xcC4TSv

Really nice to see @brysondech slap fans' hands on the way to sign his scorecard after what was certainly not the finish he wanted on 18 today at @TheMasters. He's matured so much. Next time.

@TheCW_Sports when the USBC has a new rule that certain balls cannot be used, it would be great if the commentators would explain that instead of just griping about 'low performance balls' for an entire 2 hr show.

[Cathy Senderling-McDonald @csend]

@ABCNetwork @TheAcademy would be super if viewers could hear the tidbits the announcer says when the winners are walking to the stage. #turnitup

[Cathy Senderling-McDonald @csend]

@DamonUnofficial Def hoping 'Cracker Island' comes on rotation during the tour. Seeing you in Oakland in Oct! Saw Night 2 at Palladium w/my 12 y.o. SO AWESOME
