"Now is the time for all good men [sic] to come to the aid of their country."
Do your job, Senators and Representatives.
Honor, duty, country—
not party, not fear of losing your damn job.
If you don't honor your oath of office, you don't deserve the office.

I love that he closed with "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor," words that have always moved me. The Founders put it all on the line and so must we all, now. Booker rose to speak, and rose to the urgency of the moment.

Trivia break—If you've ever baked bread or read up on how to, you've probably read about "crumb," which is the density of various types of breads, how big the air spaces are. Well, I think we found the all-time winner for air spaces. How's this for crumb?

1. Choosing what moves to make on the basis of what DT and his MAGAmenschen might say about what you do is madness.
They will lie, distort, and blame everyone but themselves, always, in every instance, no matter what you choose to do.
So you might as well do the next right thing, yes?

Marin Alsop conducted this program now playing at the "Trump Center for the Arts" in DC—an homage to women through history who have resisted tyrants. If DT gets a load of this DEI work, at HIS arts center, he could explode.

My guy climbed Denali when it was McKinley, welcomed the return to its rightful First Nations name, and is getting this for Valentine's Day. Shhhh. Don't tell him.

Yesterday ICE agents grabbed the parent of a schoolchild in our tiny WA island town. No info yet on who it was, or who called ICE, but the snatch was on a street where my office is, in the blue building.

Is your fave coffee coming in from Colombia? I wonder what you'll have to pay for it if our demented leader adds a 50% tariff on our imports from that nation.

In the Take Care of Each Other Department—Make biscuits! (I KNOW this isn't health food.) I may have started making biscuits 70 years ago and I can attest that this recipe is the bomb.
Have a lovely Sunday morning.

DT's immediate move against birthright citizenship would make Harris not an American. Bit of a contrast here, in what she chose to do in her first move out of office.
