Oil on canvas. Love the atypical shape of the painting, and apparently it's quite large. Also love the way the paint looks (squinting) like it's been rubbed out or erased, and also layered with a feeling of translucency and depth.

From budget hawks at the Peterson Foundation: GOP budget adds "trillions more in new deficits and debt. It allows for $4.5 trillion in revenue reductions, with only $1.2 trillion in offsets. All told, this plan would add more than $25 trillion to the debt over the next decade."

My stomach is churning right now as I’m reviewing images for my floor speech this afternoon on the violent felons Trump pardoned.
Here’s David Dempsey beating officers with a flagpole. He got a full pardon and is being let out jail.
We can’t let this feel normal.
