@molly_knight Paw Love "I can't believe it's not bully" sticks are currently our favorite chew. I buy packages in person because the thinner sticks aren't worth the price, but the thicker sticks take her 30+ minutes to eat.

@molly_knight I put 1/4 cup of Hill's kibble in this Starmark ball and it buys me about 30 minutes: https://t.co/0MH1F20S9p
Also like the Trixie puzzles. Regularly feed dinner in the Mad Scientist. (Takes her about 10 minutes to dispense all of the kibble.)

@TaraRFee The Hill did a story on ABCo https://t.co/8BxgCrTvKh

This is a gift to the country from ⁦@benjaminwittes⁩.

It walks through and plainly analyzes Mueller’s report. I can’t imagine not having read it.

Recommend for everyone. Legally, and morally, this is not a close call. https://t.co/LslJCuHWbK

Also read @AdamSerwer's deep dive into the history of "white genocide" theory, a particularly virulent strain of racial nationalism:

This gets into the vying historical traditions discussed in this interview with @glgerstle, who's brilliant on the topic:

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

"This kind of cruelty and dehumanization is the defining commitment of his political life. He is not merely undignified as a leader; he is committed to stripping away the dignity possessed by others." From @MJGerson https://t.co/tig1k1POH2

[Leanne Higginbottom @mansagiddything]

"We must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society."

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Joe Biden: "One thing we know for certain. We've learned it over and over again through history, whether it was the Holocaust of the Civil Rights Movement: Silence is complicity. Silence is complicity ... We have to speak out." Via ABC

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Joe Biden at MLK breakfast: "We have a lot to root out, but most of all the systematic racism that most of us whites don't like to acknowledge even exists ... There's something we have to admit —not you, we, white America— has to admit there's still a systematic racism." Via ABC

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

So many grow up thinking Dr. King’s birthday is about painting classrooms & cleaning up trash from the park. But MLK wouldn’t just paint a classroom, he’d ask why schools are underfunded. He wouldn’t just pick up trash, he’d ask why certain communities suffer from more pollution.

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

I always found the idea of doing a “service project” to honor MLK a bit strange. Service is a good thing, but if you’re going to do it, especially today, push yourself to ask *why* the landscape of inequality exists as it does today. Question the systems & structures & history.

[Elise Jordan @Elise_Jordan]

The brilliant @esglaude on MLK's dilemma at the end of life and why he admires James Baldwin's work: "You try to figure out how to give voice to a vision of love while you take your anger seriously."

[Yascha Mounk @Yascha_Mounk]

"I often wondered whether my attempts to remove the most basic inaccuracies from a presidential order meant that I was myself failing to carry out my oath to protect and defend the Constitution."

Excellent and worrying, by a former lawyer in Trump's WH.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“The essential feature ... is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy that ... is present in a variety of contexts.”

[Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand]

Just in: The FBI Agents Association has sent a petition to the White House and Congress, signed by representatives of field offices across the country, warning of the effect of the continued government shutdown on agents and their work.

[Glenn Thrush @GlennThrush]

Just got an email informing me that there will be a food bank at the Tampa Airport for federal workers, because that's what's going on in America

[Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe]

Other options suggested (not joking):

-- "Mystery shopping"
-- Dog-walking
-- "Turn your hobby into income"
-- Tutor people
-- Sell big-ticket items you own

The tip sheet adds: "Bankruptcy is a last option."

No matter where you stand on policy, the contrast between Trump and Obama's immigration speeches is stark. Go back to O's '14 address:

"Scripture tells us, we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too." https://t.co/tNbifKrFLD
