Hakeem Jeffries rebuttal to Steve Scalise’s dishonest representation of the one big ugly bill is masterful.

Does Trump realize that Foreign Assistance for each nation can be found right on their own dot gov site??
Canada- um... 200 billion? no.

Looking east toward Manhattan. Good morning.

Dusted off my pink pussycat hat, lovingly knitted by my aunt back in 2016. It was perfect for shoveling snow and will continue to be my insulation for the foreseeable future.

Hey- look who is following me!

He obviously doesn’t remember our little foot-a-tete back in 2020.

Congresswoman Pressley votes for Hakeem Sekou Jeffries and the C-Span camera catches Scalise derisively repeating "Sekou" to which Johnson smirks in agreement. Maddening!

I’m getting the rhythm down.

Happy Hanukkah to all.

The drones have landed.

To all of my 'friends' on FB who incessantly post pics of alleged rapists/child molesters hanging out with Dems, I have news.

Your post confused me for a second. Cuz 👇 is our Verona Public Library! Lol.

Can someone please refashion this picture to show Hakeem Jeffries behind Leon with a leash around his neck?

One of my favorite places around the holidays is our local bookstore. I could spend hours here- and this isn’t even the main book section.

Rep Frank Pallone just taught Rep Luna math. “You have the majority here- when this fails, it’s entirely on the republicans”.

There are about 30 of these drones swarming the skies in my area- wtf
The videos I’ve captured stink so far.

Luigi Mangione was the Valedictorian of Maryland's Gilman School's class of 2016. Here's a little from his speech. 👓

This Eastern Tiger Swallowtail- a rock-star pollinator,
is having at our zinnias.

Flower nectar is a major part of their diet.

Me, during the Oct 2020 debates, kicking Pence's ass, in the midst of Covid, and undoubtedly influenced by couple of drinks and too many YouTube free kickboxing classes. The childish sound effects were me too.
Thanks, husband...

Another stunning, native perennial which loves sun or shade and can exist in any soil type is Lobelia cardinalis or the cardinal flower. Easy to transplant and can grow to over 4 ft.

Hummingbirds visit our NJ yard multiple times a day when it's in bloom --from late July throughout the early fall.

Here's the same guy the next day. He tried to take off and his wings weren't ready. My husband put him back up on the milkweed launch pad where he could continue to dry his wings in the sun and fully inflate them to ready for flight.

One plant everyone should have in their yard is butterfly weed- and even plain old milkweed (although it's an aggressive spreader). Nine monarchs developed in our small NJ yard this year. Here's one that had just popped out of its chrysalis.

Native plants support native species.
