Claws Out: CDC Purged, Vance on Tour, Democracy in Peril
CDC Decapitation
The Trump regime yanked CDC Director Susan Monarez like a bad claw clip. Multiple senior staff walked out in protest, citing political meddling in science. Senator Bernie Sanders is spitting fire, demanding hearings. This isn’t “draining the swamp”—it’s flooding the litter box.
Vance’s Snake Oil Tour
Vice President J.D. Vance is in Wisconsin trying to rebrand Trump’s giant tax-and-spend package. Spoiler alert: slapping a new label on a can of rotten tuna doesn’t make it fresh.
Markets Pretend All’s Fine
The S&P 500 is purring at record highs, but Nvidia stock coughed up a hairball—falling on weak AI demand and lost sales to China. Wall Street fat cats are betting the Fed will toss them a rate cut next month.
Global Furball
The UK is juggling asylum housing, sanctions on Iran, and political reshuffles. It’s like watching a cat chase three laser pointers at once—chaotic and pointless.
Minneapolis Grieves
A school shooting at a Catholic school left two children dead and many injured. The community is shattered. No words, only claws and mourning.

Rallying Call from Resistance Kitty
They think we’re too tired, too scared, too distracted to notice as they gut science, rebrand failure, and shrug off tragedy. But kitties don’t sleep through fascism. We sharpen claws in the dark. We pounce at dawn. And we never, ever let go.
