Watercolour painting of a kitten called Holly! One of my favourite paintings. She looks so vulnerable.

TMU students protested an off-campus talk from two Israeli soldiers. One IDF soldier, Jonathan Karten, locked several of them into the event space before someone broke a glass door.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
