Doing a loop in Silver Lake, and Ivanhoe Reservoir is looking nicely van Gogh-esque this morning, a kind of daylight version of "The Starry Night."

They showed up way down here in NorCal. Barest pink visible with the naked eye.

44 and 48 have a nice ring to it. No, not my pant size! To all Veterans, a huge thank you for getting us to this point in American history. Your sacrifices are much appreciated.

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.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

I don’t want Chuck Schumer out because of his no vote to end the shut down. I want Chuck Schumer out because he couldn’t control his caucus and 8 of the people in it defected to the fascist side and voted with them! He needs to be gone as Senate minority leader like yesterday! #Maddow

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Karma?

No one could accuse Donald of being woke.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Newsom: He is a historic president—a historically unpopular president. Underwater in every key category—I mean, you can’t even make this up; this is hard to do…

I'm happy they have enough food 😉😉

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Hold onto that feeling.

Morning Kitten High five, America!

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It’s not only what he said, it’s the way he said it. The fight, the passion, the strength. Just what is needed right now! We deserve equal opportunity! ( plugging my crowdfund for anyone who has anything to spare a homeless immigrant small business owner ⬇️)

“Hear me President Trump when I say this, to get to any of us you will need to get through all of us” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @democrats.org , this is the way.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

This person took this when they called the race

Holder: I don’t think Jim Comey stands any chance of being convicted. I think the same is true for Letitia James. But to have a former insurance lawyer—someone who has never been a criminal prosecutor—present a case to a grand jury simply at the call of the President is extremely dangerous.

Dennis, why do you live in Oregon????

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

☝🏻do….

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

It’s been less than a year and look at the insanity and upheaval this moronic #ApricotAnus has created. All at the expense of Americans, our allies, and reputation.

Tsunami 🌊 of cruelty coming to your state just in time for the holidays. Food assistance-nope Toys under tree-nope Homes with adequate heat-nope Healthcare-nope Jobs with living wage-nope All so GOP gets massive tax cuts and he gets ✈️ and ballroom. We the people will not forget!

Worth remembering…

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

In Oregon! Peaceful, joyous, and spirited. Huge turnout.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

Gavin Newsom: “The hell is going on in this country? None of this is normal. You will be seeing on my patriot site new signature kneepads for all these CEOs for bending their knee. For those lawfirms, universities, media companies. Wake up everybody” @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov
