@NahWay48191 What's the Portuguese word for greaseball? Dear God, he is hideous-looking.

@NahWay48191 Great catch. God knows how much else she lies about.

🚨BREAKING: As the City Council prepares for the July 15 hearing on #RomanchsLaw, newly released NYC Department of Health records obtained through FOIL reveal deeply disturbing findings from the first-ever truly independent equine veterinarian appointed under executive order to examine NYC carriage horses.

• Sophia, a 22-year-old carriage horse, was found to be obviously sore on both hind legs. Independent equine veterinarian and lameness expert Dr. Kraig Kulikowski documented enlarged, painful soft tissue in both hind legs, deemed her unsound, and wrote that the stable manager “demonstrated no concern” about her condition.

• Dr. Kulikowski found stalls were often too small for the large draft horses and wrote that the lack of turnout or pasture made those conditions “even more critical.”

• The overwhelming majority of horses examined had scars caused by improperly fitting tack that had traumatized their backs. He concluded: “Findings like that should not be acceptable norms.”

• Carriage horse owners refused to fully cooperate with the independent examinations, declining bloodwork and trotting evaluations requested by the veterinarian.

These documented findings, together with repeated runaway crashes, horses collapsing and dying on NYC streets, and the tragic death of 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan, underscore why the City Council must pass #RomanchsLaw.

@TCWK121713 @Moo_does_drugs Took me a while. I first thought she was an earnest, working-class housewife who was sincerely trying to start a career from her casual hobby of looking into news stories as her kids were getting older. I tried to encourage her, though I did always find her use of "bestie" cringe

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@XoxoAudrey4ever Such a dilemma for her. She's getting so much hate and mockery now, but it's the first time in a long time that she can pay her bills. Her natural inclination to grift is overriding any true sense of self-respect she may have ever had.

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@OldMerIsDead Meredith, the depth of research and the well-deserved snark you bring to this community are so very appreciated!

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@xqp8zvngnm @jeffstiisangry Yes, and I think it's compounded by Baby Daddy #1 having so much more money than Baby Daddy #2, who apparently has none. Those poor kids—all three of them—have suffered in various ways by having, in my opinion, a lazy, scam artist, neglectful malignant narcissist for a mother.

@TeamFUKR I understand that you aren't FKR, but the irony is that TB was so deep into his lack of objectivity here that he dismissed something that might have helped—and perhaps eventually did help—Karen Read by providing a motive of jealousy for Higgins, whether valid or not. TB is a joke

@MissLiss630 @LaughsDenn53215 @OldMerIsDead @jeffstiisangry I'm not saying, though, that his behavior isn't abusive. Clearly, it is, and it's criminal that she subjects her children to it.

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@MissLiss630 @LaughsDenn53215 @OldMerIsDead @jeffstiisangry As dumb as he is, maybe still on some level he realizes that he had relationships with his parents and his son before he met Jess, and those loses anger him. But it seems he has never lived on his own, and he wouldn't have that house to live in if not for Meemaw, so he's stuck.

@joleenlunzer She has often said that Massachusetts Republican candidates meet with her to get her advice and support. This video demonstrates that she is nothing but a useful idiot for them. No wonder they have not accepted her offer to have them hire her to be their "independent" journalist.

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@Above96th What you see and what you capture photos of continue to amaze me.

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@OldMerIsDead @MCCossyG @jeffstiisangry Ewwwww!

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@joleenlunzer This guy had never met her before, but he reads her so well. He exposes the misguided core of her simple-minded America-is-great sloganeering when he mentions the contributions of Black Americans. Watch her smirk. Jess Machado is an ugly American in all senses of that term.

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@joleenlunzer She is so very stupid and politically unsophisticated. An avowed Republican, she's praising policies of the U.S. Democratic Party and European Democratic Socialists. Her Republican accomplishment this year was prettifying the Old Town Hall, a perfect example of her superficiality

[Catherine @lonervegan]

@meredithoneil I love "The defendant is forcing me to read her messages"!!! So absurd in multiple ways, plus I thought no one tells Jess what to do.

EXPOSED:

12,000 cats are currently confined in US labs.

And we just uncovered secretive NIH-funded cat experiments that will shock you to your core:

At a University of Florida lab, kittens are “bred to suffer from a horrible degenerative brain disease that causes loss of muscle control, dementia, difficulty swallowing, and ultimately death.”

If any of this happened outside of a lab, it would be criminal animal cruelty.

“Instead, it’s being propped up and rewarded with our tax dollars.”

And we have obtained records that show some taxpayer-funded institutions still “round up abandoned pet cats from shelters to lock in labs.”

We’re making progress, but we have a long way to go.

Several years ago, we got the federal government’s largest cat lab shut down.

Over two dozen survivors were retired, including two cats named Delilah and Petite who were adopted by our Founder, Anthony Bellotti.

We also secured groundbreaking legislation that cut funding for cat testing from the VA and the Pentagon, and a complete ban on all cat experiments at the Navy.

Now, the US House’s 2027 spending bills for the NIH and USDA include “first-ever measures cutting funding for painful cat experiments.”

But shutting down funding for these experiments is only part of the solution.

In April, we got the House to pass Violet’s Law, “a bipartisan bill to make animal adoption an option in all federal testing labs,” in the Farm Bill.

Reps. Nancy Mace and Dina Titus led the charge to pass this provision alongside us.

Now, Senators Susan Collins and Gary Peters are urging the Senate to include Violet’s Law in the final version of the Farm Bill.
