[𝕭𝖊𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖊✨ @Bennieeexyz]

Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat.

Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records.

My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now.

Called the county clerk.

Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty.

Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons?

Me: Yes, but he's a cat.

Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county?

Me: He's a legal cat.

Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption.

Me: He can't file anything. He has paws.

Clerk: You can file on his behalf.

Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat."

Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons."

Me: What's the medical reason?

Clerk: He's a cat.

Me: That's not a medical condition.

Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving.

Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later.

"Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement."

Took the letter to my vet.

Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty.

Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty?

Me: Excellent question. No good answer.

Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten.

Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve?

Vet: On what grounds?

Me: He's a cat.

Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings."

Me: Perfect.

Sent it in. Got another rejection.

"Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court."

My roommate thought this was hilarious.

Roommate: Felix is going to jail.

Me: This is serious.

Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens.

Decided that was actually the only option left.

Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters.

Checked in at the courthouse.

Clerk: Name?

Me: Felix Martinez.

Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix?

Me: Yes.

Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat.

Me: I've been saying that for six weeks.

Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption?

Me: I filed three. All rejected.

Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief.

Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation?

Me: Twice.

Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this.

Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me.

Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote?

Me: You tell me.

Supervisor: This is a data error.

Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out.

They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience.

Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry.

Me: Appreciate it.

Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted?

Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats.

Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card.

For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was.

Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud.

Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent.

Roommate: That's what they all say.

Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now.

Fitting end to his legal career.

It was great catching up with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center. We spoke about the game we love, what it means to open the Center in Chicago, and why understanding our history is so important for navigating the world today. We had a lot of fun��check out our conversation on @allthesmokeprod: https://t.co/IPjhq5sfSi

More from Dunleavy on pre-pick interaction with Lacob:

“I think Joe was like, ‘Come on, let’s just go ahead and pick the guy.’ And I said, ‘Joe, we have time. They give us five minutes.’ He was just getting a little anxious about us taking Yaxel.”

BREAKING: Democrat James Talarico pounces on his MAGA opponent Ken Paxton just moments after he won the Republican primary — airing his dirty criminal laundry to the entire world.

This Senate seat is really in play now...

"Something just happened in Texas. The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate," Talarico said in a video posted to X. "Three years ago, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people."

"That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why we can't afford anything. It's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work," he continued.

Paxton beat out Republican incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Texas primary, largely because the former was endorsed by Trump. Paxton represents the very worst that this country has to offer. He was impeached by his own party for taking bribes as state attorney general and his wife divorced him for adultery.

Paxton said that the horrific Uvalde school shooting — during which 21 people died and 18 others were injured — was just "part of God's plan."

Worse still, Paxton's office offered a sweetheart plea deal to a man who repeatedly sexually abused a young boy. That deal would have let the child molester plead guilty to two misdemeanors and serve just a single day in jail. Paxton is a pedophile protector, which explains in part why Trump likes him so much.

"For 50 years, mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have stolen from us with their bribes, their bailouts, and their billionaire tax breaks. Ken Paxton has gotten away with it," Talarico continued in his video. "They've all gotten away with it. "

"But that ends this year, in this state, in this race. If we the people can come together to defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system. We can start unrigging this economy," he said. "We can start raising our pay, cutting our taxes, lowering our costs. We can finally get ahead. It's time to come together."

"The people versus Ken Paxton," Talarico concluded.

In a separate tweet Talarico, who is a state representative, welcomed Cornyn's supporters to join his coalition.

"I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state," he wrote "We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service. To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign."

Texas deserves a real senator for once.

In James Talarico, they've finally found one.

Please ❤️ and share to show you support for James Talarico!

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The worst of the storm parked directly over my neighborhood in Central Davis for nearly 20 minutes, see those deep reds and purples on radar. Watch how it explosively developed over West Davis, then stalled. Maximum rainfall totals were concentrated right over my neighborhood.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

One of the most insane thunderstorm I’ve ever seen just rolled through Davis, California.

Local weather stations recorded nearly 0.50” of rain in 5 minutes. Temperature dropped over 20 degrees down from 70s to high 40s.
