A charming, original, and uplifting way to convey the heroics of the presidency under Biden. I couldn't be more proud to be an American than I am today, and absolutely thrilled with all the support Harris is getting

This is such a great post, Joyce! Just love it, and no doubt, how it went down. Perfectly told through the eyes of a mouse in the house. So happy how this has played out so far. And finally,

hope for the future. Kudos to you!

How refreshing. You brought your style of writing and wisdom. In recent hours, many who know I've been a writer and journalist for as long as Joe Biden suited up for work, ask what I would write. "I've never covered politics and there are many reasons why I stay in my lane," I said. Speaking just for me, after the week of Trump drama and sucking all the air out of my news feeds, I considered taking this week off just for mental health. Then came Sunday and the shift of energy to Kamala. I'm feeling much better now and did not need to leave my duty station, after all.

Georgia … thanks! This was a definite veering out of my lane and I knew I didn’t have the chops to do it straight. Turned out to be a fun way to savor this moment.

A truthful tale from future times, told by a mouse who was there. The true tale of what was going on behind the scene, priceless!

Let the record show; the Mouse Delegation has affirmed the nominee.

For the next 100 days; spread the word, avoid all traps, & meet in Chicago.

This is so damn cute, and I can't tell you how happy it makes me, both your story and the unfolding events.

Indeed! I am positively giddy. And the apparent failure of J.D. Vance only makes it more delightful.
