Potty Talk: How Parents Can Discourage the Behavior Bathroom humor, or potty talk, commonly accompanies toilet training and preschool development in general. You can discourage this behavior by taking care not to overreact to it.

Thinking of this for no particular reason: Poop humor is common at around age 3 & emerges when children begin to master being potty trained. It normally abates by early school age as they learn social norms from parents & teachers. Great advice from the AAP:

The video pretty much sums up his entire presidencies.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Mayor Johnson: There are those in this country that have decided, at the behest of this president, to declare war on Chicago and American cities across this country. They have clearly decided that they want a rematch of the Civil War. We will not submit to the authoritarianism that is coming down.

Don’t forget 34 count felon.

Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva was elected to represent Arizona. Speaker Johnson could swear her in at any time, including today’s Pro Forma session — but he won't.

In 9 days, Illinoisans will receive their updated health insurance premiums for 2026.

Because of Republican inaction, those premiums will be more than 100% higher than they were this year. Who can afford their premium doubling in one year?

After President Donald Trump told Republican states this summer to jump the gun on redistricting — a practice normally undertaken after the decennial census — many only asked how highly rigged their new maps should be. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My first block of the morning. You’re not welcome here.

Using our military to intimidate people you disagree with politically doesn't make you look strong.

It makes you look weak.

It's reckless, it's disrespectful, and yet another action beneath the office of the presidency.

New York Times: "Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday"

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

This doesn’t even include the ones who had pending case but he had their charges dropped.

At this point, if you’ve posed for a photo with a prominent Republican, we should just assume you’re a pedophile or a Nazi or maybe both.

$40 BILLION dollars of taxpayers money to Argentina (Socialism for another country)..... "That's just how it is."

California is keeping our promise to provide affordable insulin for all who need it.

Come Jan. 1, you'll be able to buy CalRx insulin at 11 bucks a pen.

When do the Republicans in the House get fired for job abandonment?

If they had real jobs, they would have been gone after 3 days of.not showing up. Or maybe 5, depending on policy.

Trump hosted a dinner this week for donors to his White House ballroom project.

Now he's heading to Mar-a-Lago to host a $1 million-per-person dinner for his super PAC.

Meanwhile, 700,000 federal employees are furloughed, with nearly as many working without pay due to his government shutdown.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainl
