It's Canadian Thanksgiving! We cats sure wish we could be there to help celebrate, but the border's been closed to nonessential traffic since March and Benedict Donald has rendered our US passports worthless. Maybe we can go for Christmas? We're not optimistic.
In fact, today it's tough to feel anything but sadness and rage. The farce that's taking place on Capitol Hill is utterly depressing, and not just because of the Republicans' revolting hypocrisy. It's a stark reminder that America lost RBG. Not feeling very thankful about that.
But there are a few things that can still uplift us.
There's the Democratic base, which since RBG's death has made zillions of dollars in contributions to fund a blue tsunami in November. In South Carolina, Jaime Harrison raised $57 million this past quarter, the most of any Senate candidate in history. Harrison's a great candidate, but you know that a lot of that is because people hatehatehate Lady Lindsey Graham, who is presiding over the Judiciary Committee hearings today. Look for more Democratic fundraising totals as a result.
We're also pleased that Joe Biden is holding his leads, both nationally and in the battleground states. POLITICO has him at more than 270 electoral votes, and FiveThirtyEight declares him "favored" (as opposed to "slightly favored") to win. Team Biden is playing on offense: Joe's in Ohio today, and Jill is going to Texas tomorrow. Twenty-two days to go.
So enjoy your turkey, Canada, and hang on — we Americans may, just may, be on the verge of going sane again. That would truly be something to be thankful for. We cats send our best, and we PURR.
