Last week’s photo session with the cats was really great. I settled on the photo of Hilbert and his fabulous tongue because the timing was too good to pass up the joke, but that meant neglecting all the really good pictures they posed for that day. Here’s one of them. Aren’t they cute? Maybe I’ll use another one next week, though I suppose that depends on what the furballs do over the next few days. I bought a robot vacuum the other day, and there’s always the possibility that it will produce some amusing reactions. (So far, the only reaction has been deep suspicion.) In the meantime, enjoy this picture of domestic bliss, taken about a minute before the bliss dissolved.

In other feline news, here’s a nice story about an autistic 6-year-old and her therapy cat.

PLEASE—BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
