I like the idea of a #PurpleCaucus made up of senators and representatives declaring themselves:
Independents
Even a small number, working together, could shift votes and make both right and left come toward the center.
Their platform would be to promote what the majority of Americans want.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.
Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why
ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

Following the power plant shutdown, due to massive 🇷🇺 strikes on #Ukraine, some days ago, an old diesel locomotive pulled a modern 🇺🇦 high-speed train
This is how Intercity trains were operating in regions without a stable power supply. The speed, 50 km/h.

BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s latest gerrymander ruling that lawmakers violated the state constitution. This restores a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering and enacts a fairer map for 2026.

First, what is at stake is not just Ukraine’s fate but Europe’s security.
Second, any “peace” with Moscow that rewards aggression is an invitation to further wars.
The Kremlin speaks of negotiations only when it feels pressure and only to buy time.

Words are weapons — Russian diplomacy is just another front in its war on Ukraine
Henry Kissinger once wrote that a statesman’s hardest burden is making decisions without enough time or information, where every mistake is irreversible. I learned that truth not only on the battle…

A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI.

The fact this sight doesn’t shock me says everything. Just a usual autumn in Ukraine now: fallen yellow leaves, and a fallen Russian drone lying right next to it in the middle of the street , after yet another attack on the city. Found today in Odesa.

There’s no ballroom, but East Room. And golden curtains. Same curtain that hung there during the Biden admin.
See, same curtain.
I took this pic last year, when Biden announced the immigration reform that Trump vetoed.

The State Department funneled $7.5M to Equatorial Guinea, one of the world’s most corrupt regimes, to accept US migrants—using funds meant for refugee resettlement, not deportation. It exceeds all aid the country has received in the past eight years, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee found.

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

The Senate might fold, but I sure as hell won’t.
Families are getting crushed by rising costs & as these healthcare tax credits expire, it’s only going to get worse.
And now the Senate wants us to “trust” them to fix it later with a debate on a bill, maybe?
I’m a F-NO!
