One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:
My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

This morning before work, I mixed up a glaze with Pthalo Green, and applied it to the blue cloth on this new #stilllife #oilpainting trying to capture more of the turquoise color brought out by the soft white light in the #shadowbox.

Funny #oilpainting story here:
I set up this #shadowbox for #stilllife #painting and, after listening to an episode about drawing/ sketching from life from #paintcoach, I tried to just doodle in the shapes with a brush, vs my normal process of printing it out and using a grid. Not ready for that!

This morning I set up a shadow box for my next #stilllife #oilpainting. This ancient native bowl was brought to the house my mother was having built in Globe, AZ in a load of fill dirt. She was able to locate all of the surviving pieces and glue it back together.

The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.
