You and Commander have your orders:

#1) Make everyone forget that nasty bitey Major

#2) Charm Manchin and Sinema enough to support a Supreme Court nominee and some of the Build Back Better goals

#3) Distract the Republicans

#4) Keep the White House free of mice

#5) Be a sweet furry little princess

From the title I thought there was a movement to rename Pussy Willows something more politically correct,
