I heard a Jeffries vote followed by huge applause and wasn’t sure why.

Was a great moment. GOP seemed confused.

We finished the morning up with 212 votes again. Wonderful show of unity and strength.

I had the injury on June 1st and they were like it will get better, thankfully my health group has a shoulder expert he fixed it in Sept. The Physical Therapy has been good and bad...getting the function back is painful.

or find somebody to tie his shoes for him. Socks are tough, also, although a lot easier with one arm than after any sort of leg surgery.

He's probably got the good drugs, but I can't see him getting goofy enough to vote for McCarthy.

I recognize those, right off, for the rubbery white hashes.

I was in Methodist Hospital in San Antonio several years ago, and they had three color levels for their socks:

Blue = Move about at will.

Yellow = Limited mobility for stuff like walks around the nurses station or going to and from the bathroom.

Red = You can't even get out of bed without help.

And woe unto you if you didn't have those socks on.
