Kid moved to Minneapolis to follow their dreams (yay/sob) and of course took their dog Flash. He’s getting winter gear and we’re getting pictures. This is my favorite, which my son has dubbed “medieval serf.” The next is what my daughter names “My father paid to get me into Yale”

An attorney representing the Department of Justice said the government could “bulldoze” the Statue of Liberty and not be subject to legal challenges over it.

Yaakov M. Roth, the DOJ’s deputy assistant attorney general of the civil division, was answering a hypothetical question from U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Millett during an appeal hearing on June 5, 2026, in which she asked if ancestors of those who immigrated to the U.S. with the Statue of Liberty being “the first thing they saw coming to this country” had any legal claim to challenge the hypothetical destruction of the Statue of Liberty after the work was already done.✅

That was kind of my assumption. I can’t even say I hope my epilepsy service dog bites him because 1) she’d be removed and I need her, and 2) she’s a good girl who never would. This is her the day she finished training.

Spiteful fingers crossed, all.
Sunday will start on a warm and increasingly humid note with a mix of clouds and sunshine. While much of the morning and early afternoon may remain dry, attention will turn to the west as a cold front approaches the region. During the afternoon and especially into the evening hours, thunderstorms are expected to develop and organize across the Mid-Atlantic. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has already placed much of the Washington area under a ‘slight’ risk for severe weather. Conditions appear favorable for some storms to become strong to severe, with damaging wind gusts emerging as the primary threat. While the exact timing and coverage will become clearer as the weekend approaches, stay weather alert Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. Frequent lightning, torrential downpours, and localized flooding will also be possible with the strongest storms. Temperatures will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s before storms develop, with noticeably lower humidity arriving behind the front Sunday night.

The husband picked it up, tossed it, and it vanished into another dimension. No amount of scuttling about under the bed surfaced it. This was her little face when she gave up. He’s clearly a monster.

So... someone took Molly's entire stash of rawhide sticks from a jar on my desk. I'm trying to figure out what happened because I have to think no one would take a service dog's treats. There's a sign on the door they'd have to open that literally has her picture and certification info. She asks why

Wish us luck today. It’s Molly’s first day at my work as a service dog. Probably a good thing. My head feels buzzy and I’m concerned today might be another seizure day. I hope she doesn’t end up with trial by fire. Here she is watching me awhile after a seizure when I was upright and recovering

Earlier version of this post deleted for lack of alt text. Happy news: Molly is back to her cheerful self, tail improving rapidly. She's being difficult to photograph, but she's in exactly this pose right now (unless she sees the phone and then she leaps at me for pets, tail a-wag)

No one should care with everything going on, but I feel compelled to share a tiny fleck of amusement. This is what happens in my house if you do not IMMEDIATELY make the bed. My current situation induced insomnia is not shared, it seems.

It is, right! I’ve been so worried about leaving my coworkers who know what my situation is and where my rescue meds are that I’ve only done virtual meetings in forever. I suppose they’d frown if I put her fairy wings on over her vest? 😆

In a day of unremitting crap, I’ve had a spot of personal joy. I’ve had seizures for some years. Molly is able to anticipate them and bring me my rescue seizure meds. My dr just wrote that it is a medical necessity to have her as a service dog at work (seriously, it is). Soon sporting a red vest:

She was recorded saying it.
Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was recently recorded warning CBS News to broadcast a new interview with the president in full and without edits – or “we’ll sue your ass off”.

Trump “said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,’” Leavitt told CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil after he had interviewed the president, according to an audio exchange first reported on by the New York Times. The 13-minute exclusive segment aired on Tuesday, months after CBS’s parent company Paramount agreed to pay Trump $16m over its editing of an unrelated interview ahead of the 2024 election that vaulted him to a second presidency.

“Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Dokoupil assured on the audio. Leavitt could be heard replying: “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’”

I wasn't going to put a Molly pic up because (waves at everything). But then I decided I'll be damned if they take every scrap of joy, however insignificant and silly, from us. Here. In the first one she was contented gazing out the window. In the second one, she noticed the paparazzi sneaking pics

They are spreading everywhere. Not that this is entirely new or at all surprising. From our rep last night:
My team and I are aware of the increased ICE presence in Edgewater and Annapolis today, and we remain in constant communication with our state and local partners. 

If my office can ever be of assistance with an immigration agency, if you or your family have been impacted by the President’s weaponization of ICE, you can always speak to a member of my team at (410) 832-8890.

Molly and Brie and Me @lfarrell.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
The phrasing on this. It's "brash" to say ICE has to follow the law?? www.mediaite.com/politics/see...
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons dared Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal to follow through on her threat to arrest immigration agents who come to her city and “commit a crime” while appearing on The Big Weekend Show on Fox News on Saturday.

Bilal made her brash comments on Thursday, one day after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Good blocked traffic and appeared to hit the officer with her SUV before she was shot multiple times.

The sheriff called ICE “fake, made-up law enforcement” at a press conference and warned “You don’t want this smoke.” She also said her police department would “bring it” against any ICE agents who “commit a crime.”Fox News played a clip of Bilal’s comments on Saturday before contributor Guy Benson asked Lyons for his reaction. The ICE boss was not thrilled.

“First off Guy, any time you pit law enforcement officers against law enforcement officers, it makes nobody safe,” Lyons said.

He then said the “increased rhetoric” from Bilal and other ICE critics is making it harder for agents to safely do their jobs.

“I’m not one for big banter or bluster, buy my message to the sheriff is: try it. Try [and] arrest my folks and see what happens,” Lyons said.

Lyons added a moment later that he did not want to step on any announcement from President Donald Trump, but that ICE would “bring more agents [in] to help” with Minneapolis raids.

All right. Sickened and done for the morning. Here, have a callback to better times. I'm sure I've posted it before, but it's one of my favorite.

One more Molly post for the morning, which is thankfully the last day of this cursed year. Her slightly scrunched but hopeful face says it all. (Mind you, she was actually hoping for a treat and some scritches.) Here's hoping we'll get the equivalent in 2026.

I suppose at some point I'll catch up on the day's news and not feel a mix of crushing sadness and anger. Today is not that day, so have a baby Molly, entirely unamused by paparazzi waking her up from her pillow nest so early (no, she hasn't changed one bit) and VOTE people, every damn time.

In addition to Molly pics, since I foolishly kept scrolling today and need a palate-cleanser, I share (for the 1 or 2 people in the world who haven't already seen it), an ancient Tumblr/Reddit post that will never, never not make me snort-laugh
Hard to describe and will doubtless ruin the humor, but I'll give it a go. This is a 1948 map of hog density in the US. Each black dot represents 5000 hogs. Because the state lines and the US is a white map on a black background, the commenters say things like, "infinite hog supply in the ocean" "each state is lined with an impenetrable  wall of swine. We are trapped" and "we've lost Canada and Mexico to the hogs already"
