Today (9/9) Trump announced he would give every adult US citizen $5,000, but only if Republicans retain control of both Houses of Congress.

Should this give-away really be tied to his own party’s electoral success? If the US can afford this then what justification is there to withhold these payments if the November election does not go the way Trump wants it to go?

Just spotted in San Jose, CA

There is a cat stuck high in a tree in Los Gatos. It is at the corner of Los Gatos Blvd and Alpine Ave. I was finishing a bike ride and heard it meow from way up in the tree. The note on the tree says animal control and fire department are unable to help. Hoping the power of Reddit can connect this poor cat with someone with the ability to help. Sorry if this a repost, just trying to help. Have a good evening.

UPDATE: 2pm 5/11 The cat’s still in the tree and meowing for help. It is near the very top of the tree. Someone that knows the owner was there and another neighbor said they pooled the cost of an arborist who is coming at 5pm. Looks like a few more hours and the cat will be rescued. Thanks for the helpful suggestions

UPDATE 1230am 5/12 alright I’m on my way home and the cats still up there. He responds to calls. Obviously distressed. The locals that claimed they hired an arborist must have been full of shit. I feel so bad for this cat.

This is like the worst horror stories they've told us happened in other conflicts, only in their stories, we were the good guys who went to try to help the kids and whoever we were fighting was the terrorist using them as a booby trap. All lies.
