The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

It’s been years since my part of NC got heavy snow (ice storms, though, are another story). Snowed in and knitting my cozy classic raglan. Couldn’t be happier. ⛄️ #knitting #garmentknitting #sweaterknitting #knitsky 🧶

Doomscrolling cleanse! This amaryllis took forever to bloom, but it was so worth it. It has 6 blooms, and a second stalk right behind it. A lovely gift on this icy morning. What are your favorite winter plants? #gardensky #plant sky

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

We were supposed to get a snowstorm, but it’s just overcast and rainy. So I made a loaf of seeded bread and curled up with Minae Mizumura’s “An I-Novel” as recompense. #breadsky #bakingsky #booksky

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Was reading a short story for a review I’m writing—the collection is about border crossings and the stories are gut wrenching—and I was feeling such despair when I saw two dogs outside my window meet. They wagged their little tails so hard, and it really helped. It did. #writersky #booksky #writing

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.
President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. had captured the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
