Congrats!

I bought a really cool dragon on Flightrising. Does that count?

Also, my kitty licked me this morning, and she never does that.

Sometimes it is the little things.

Finally, the Democrats have retaken the House. And, while I'm terrified about who Trump will replace him with, Jeff Sessions being gone is still a good thing because he was really terrible and outright evil.

Thank you!

If you think it counts, it definitely counts.

I love kitties, especially when they're affectionate.

And YES, turning the House blue & getting rid of Sessions.

My kitty is not super affectionate, so every little bit really stands out. She usually is more subtle with her love. But I feel it when she slow blinks at me and settles herself at my feet to sleep at night.

Also, 7 governorships and a bunch of state legislatures.

Here's some background on Matthew Whitaker, the new Acting Attorney General:

1991 - Graduates from University of Iowa with a BA in Communications. Big football star while there.
1995 - Graduates from University of Iowa with a dual MBA/JD.
1996-2004 - Works in various Iowa law firms doing corporate law.
2002 - Runs for Iowa State Treasurer as a Republican. Loses.
2004 - Appointed to serve as U.S. Attorney for Iowa by George Bush. Serves until 2009. During his time as U.S. Attorney, he was accused of indicting a Democrat for extortion for political purposes. The Democrat was found not guilty.
2011 - Co-chairs Rick Perry's Iowa Presidential campaign efforts, after briefly working on Tim Pawlenty's campaign.
2014 - Ran for Iowa Senate and was defeated in the primary, coming in fourth.
2014-2017 - Works at a law firm while also serving as Executive Director of a conservative watchdog group, the "Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust" (FACT). FACT, like Judicial Watch, was funded by conservative donors and filed multiple complaints against Democratic politicians on alleged campaign finance violations, including Hillary Clinton.
2017 - Opines frequently about the Russia investigation, including a CNN Op-Ed entitled "Mueller's Investigation is Going Too Far," which says that Mueller would be crossing a "red line" if he investigates the President's finances.
2017 - Appointed as Jeff Sessions' Chief of Staff. Last month, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly described him as the White House's "eyes and ears" in the DOJ.

Eek. What a shitty history (and ugh that he's from my state). Hopefully something will keep him from touching the Mueller investigation.

Don't mind Sessions going, but the reason he effectively got sacked was he wasn't kissing Trump's ass with enough tongue, and will be replaced with someone less competent and fully on board with covering up for Trump.
