We cats were so upset by Benedict Donald's East Wing wrecking ball today that we wrote a ton of extra postcards to voters in New Jersey and Virginia, and a whole bunch of additional letters to California voters about Prop 50. We highly recommend this. Taking an action, no matter how small, helps alleviate anger and anxiety.
So if you'd like to write some Postcards to Voters, click here.

We also suggest you read Jamelle Bouie's column in today's New York Times, about why Trump is unnerved by No Kings. "Despite what might appear to be true in the maps we use to illustrate election results, it is not possible to divide the United States into red and blue teams," Bouie writes. "For as much as Americans are polarized around party affiliation, they do not actually exist in separate societies or civilizations. Wish as we might otherwise, we rise, and fall, together."
Bouie is right. Trump may hope to just cancel "Democrat" programs, but everybody benefits from the policies our party has championed since the New Deal. And today, in our neck of the woods, Trump supporters are lining up with Harris voters at local food banks. MAGA folks are in the next exam room at our doctor's office — getting care, but without enough money to pay for it. Since Donald ultimately can't shield them from the adverse effects of his actions, sooner or later they will feel the pain. (If they aren't feeling it already.)
We suspect that more and more casual Trump voters will be joining us at No Kings rallies. They'll be welcome. And meanwhile, here are some more signs from Saturday to inspire everyone. We cats PURR.
