Rosenstein is still Deputy AG
Rod J. Rosenstein to stay in job, will meet with Trump on Thursday, White House says https://t.co/ZmfCXTPy8B

What a week this morning has been.
Fired or Resigned
"Fired" vs. "resigned" MATTERS.
Why? Federal Vacancies Reform Act gives Trump power to appoint an Acting AG if it's a resignation.
If he's fired? It's murkier.https://t.co/FQG5jXjpFU https://t.co/hazvCO8cg9

Rosenstein May Have Resigned or Been Fired
Mixed reports coming out at the moment. I’ll update this thread as more news comes out.
BREAKING: Axios: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump, according to a source with direct knowledge. https://t.co/dOXxztvsXy

Remember that admin has lied before about whether people resigned or were fired. So this may be an issue.

This happened. What a day. And it's not even 11 a.m. https://t.co/uoKOS6xp5T

The U.S. Deputy Attorney General is said to be on the way to the White House to be fired. If true, congratulations to the New York Times national desk, which can hang a piece of the pelt on its trophy wall. Over half-thought-out horseshit:https://t.co/jmk5RZI8gm

Does Trump go in front of the UN now and announce he's president for life?

Trump On Kavanaugh After Second Allegation: ‘I Am With Him All The Way’
I mean, nobody should be surprised by this. To Trump, rape isn’t a bug but a feature. Also, Trump thinks that rethinking your position is a sign of weakness so he’ll double, triple, quadruple down on this.
President Donald Trump on Monday affirmed his continuing support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh despite the second allegation of sexual misconduct against him that surfaced Sunday, saying that it’s “unfair,” “unjust” and “totally political.”

We did this on Friday but there were a few more people who submitted over the weekend. I’ll post more today if you want to send some in. I love seeing the background of what everyone is looking at as they stare into their phones.
From Jennifer:
It’s no longer Friday, but I wanted to share my pic too…this is a close-up of a quilt I made 2 years ago. Quilting seems very old fashioned to many, but I’ve found it to be wonderful stress relief. I can get lost in the hum of a sewing machine and hyper focus on tricky hand work, forgetting about all else.
Thanks for still blogging! I’ll always keep checking in!
From Trish:
Here’s mine! I’m opening a yarn shop in Kansas City, MO later this year (www.yarnsocialkc.com if anyone’s interested) and I’m excited about my logo!!
