I just finished this glass and slate mosaic. It is 12" x 16" and is wired to hang on the wall. I am probably going to title it "Vorona," which is the Ukranian word for "crow." JaneRussellMosaics.com

This is why Congressional Democrats should be breaking down the doors of whatever facility manages payments and seizing control of the federal treasury because people are going to die as a result of the budget they passed and the money they allocated not being distributed according to the law.

I finished and framed this mosaic today. I used hand-cut glass, glass that I fused, glass frit, slate, tiny glass microspheres, glass stringers, and tinted mortar. This piece was inspired by a photo that I took of lichen growing on a neighbor's fence. 12" x 12". JaneRussellMosaics.com

Wow. Just wow. To read these words from David Maraniss. This is how bad things have gotten.
The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.
