Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

So what is it exactly that makes this into July 4th catblogging? It’s a stretch, I admit. But there was some parade-like activity going on outside our house earlier this morning, and Domino got alarmed enough about the whole thing to retreat to the kitchen and jump up on the refrigerator for safety. So that’s the excuse.

But really, you don’t need an excuse for bonus catblogging anyway, do you? Enjoy the 4th everyone!

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
