ACA tax credits expired on 12/31. Trump is not complying w Epstein release but what's come out is damning. Dead bodies in the Carribbean. Fragile peace in Ukraine and the Middle East. So House floor time next week will be dedicated to... rolling back shower head and energy efficiency standards.

Post a picture you've taken of a cow. If you don't have a cow in your gallery, well, take a picture of a little black calf. 😊

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.
Unprecedentedly corrupt.

I was able to take some time in the middle of nowhere to watch the sunrise. It was silent and beautiful and an excellent reminder to take time to appreciate all the good in the world.
