The Friday Politics Thread Showed Up Today

It’s my last header before Monday and I feel like I should say something…vaguely inspirational? But still acknowledging the reality of the situation? But, well, here we are. Pretend that’s how I started this. I feel weird, like I’m under a tornado warning just waiting and wondering where it’s going to hit. I don’t even have it in me to make footnotes right now.

Anyway, it’s going to be a rough few days (I’m choosing not to think too far ahead right now); please, please, please try to give your fellow commenters and the mods some grace. And yourselves, too. Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice, PT. (Sabrina Carpenter reference; nailed it.)

Once more into the breach, dear friends. (Shakespeare reference; nailed that too.)
