A word for Mary Jane Kelly (born c.1863) murdered yesterday by Jack the Ripper, 1888.

She’s untraceable. All we know is what she told friends, and much of the following may be untrue. She claimed she was born in Limerick (county or town isn’t clear) & moved to Wales when young.

The problem for Senate Dems is that at this point is that we all *know* how the Senate works.
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

Take a day to celebrate. We deserve it.

But ICE is back out on the street today.

Mike "Know Nothing" Johnson still has the House (and the government) shut down.

The executive branch is still applying gold leaf to what's left of the White House.

Take a breath and then back at it.

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.

Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.
Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen Bet Big on Trump. It’s Paying Off for Silicon Valley.
The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of “terrorizing” fintech startups and crypto companies.

The House of Burgesses goes blue!
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

After repeatedly requesting permission and following all the official guidelines, Catholic bishop, priests, sisters and lay people were refused permission to distribute Communion to migrants in ICE detention center, on All Saints Day. A religious freedom issue: www.ncronline.org/news/ice-aga...
