I make colored pencil and mixed media portraits. I’m a collector of all things, including antique and vintage items, brooches, hinged boxes, and frogs. I read a lot, mostly mysteries. I’m a Swiftie still clowning for RepTV but I scrap to rap.

To Trump’s supporters, walking away from the WHO might seem like a smart way to reduce Chinese influence and slash foreign aid, Richard Coniff and Lawrence O. Gostin write.

Opinion | Trump is withdrawing from the WHO. That’s a grave mistake.
The United States’ absence will only hurt Americans — and help China.

This colored pencil portrait of Yayoi Kusama is nearly finished. I still need to paint the polkadots on her dress and do the background. I’m going to have her standing inside the multicolor polka dot room that she painted.

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.

I wrote about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s various weird ideas about HIV/AIDS, and why they could soon become the rest of the world's problem if he becomes HHS secretary. In the words of one expert I spoke to, "I can't believe we're having this conversation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. has made false and dangerous claims about AIDS. That could become a global problem.
Will the United States abandon life-saving efforts to research and fight the virus?
