Currently my whole kitchen is awash in wet wool socks lol! Nine more pairs, blocked/ wet and covering my kitchen surfaces!

Lots of people chiming on with kind reccomendations to unplug or socialize etc. I'm very poor. I have no social life. I'm disabled. I stay home all the time and currently i have a broken ankle so.. man, the isolation/ poverty is a lot. I knit socks for homeless ppl though. That's what i CAN do!

Years ago the government extended the statute of limitations for victims reporting sex crimes against the Catholic Church. Maybe NY should extend this to Epstein victims. I don’t think there will be a judge in Florida who isn’t corrupt at this point.

Pam, darling, you missed a spot.

For the record, the law states that "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

I have just demanded a full refund for remaining tickets at the Kennedy Center. I did not buy anything at the "Trump Kennedy" Center. I encourage you to do the same #refundKennedy

Stone rises in silence, white with winter’s breath Roads sleep, bare trees bow, the city at its rest. #Norwich #aerial #image #winter #snow

I've been looking into David Brooks (now that he's been exposed as a buddy of Epstein's), wondering if he had a record of liking much younger women. Turns out he is married to his research assistant, a much younger woman who was literally born the same year he married his first wife.

All I know is this: nobody's very big in the first place, and it looks to me like everybody spends their whole life tearing everybody else down. - R P McMurphy Pic of the day #photography

I've spent 30 years fighting to protect free and fair elections. From county courtrooms to the U.S. Supreme Court, I've argued and won cases that have helped decide elections. I started Democracy Docket to share most important information and analysis with you. Sign-up now. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

What if I told you that voters could repudiate election financers by choosing the candidates that they oppose? What if I told you that if a voter did their homework they could see precisely who is receiving donations from United healthcare? Everyone says we have no power but we actually have a lot.

The falsely-named “Russian Federation” is a transnational crime syndicate. It is not a state and does not belong to the family of nations. It is wholly illegitimate. The Putin-Kremlin crime syndicate must not be bowed down to out of fear. It must be destroyed.

So the Portuguese Brown mass shooter (who has APPARENTLY shot himself) also murdered the Portuguese professor - and FUSION SCIENTIST. Question: Does anyone remember that Truth Social is merging with a fusion company, TAE Technologies? www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor. The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.

You can do your part. If you witness ICE vehicles switching, altering, or improperly using license plates, report it to the Illinois Secretary of State’s Plate Watch Hotline, where violations are investigated:

President of the European Council António Costa announced that the EU has reached an agreement to provide €90 billion in funding for Ukraine for 2026–2027‼️‼️‼️

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law. When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent. The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.

Many people have been giving excellent updates about the $1.6 million that RFK Jr. has given to Danish researchers to “study” the HepB birth dose in Guinea-Bissau, and I’m glad this story is spreading. The first thing that was confirmed is that the researchers are Benn and Aady, as many predicted.

Last night was crazy.

Did I not forecast this? I did. This name. Let’s all let him know it won’t be permanent. When his regime is over, his name is off the building.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of two registered Delaware voters, my law firm has filed to intervene to oppose DOJ's lawsuit seeking Delaware's complete statewide voter registration database. We have now done this in 17 of the 18 states Trump's DOJ has sued. www.democracydocket.com/cases/delawa...

A new trend has gone viral on Instagram: Russian-speaking users in Europe are responding en masse with 📹s showing cities decorated with Christmas lights,countering false claims by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova that EU countries have been "forced to abandon festive street lighting"

BREAKING: The full DC Circuit will also rehear the climate fund cases en banc. Arguments also set for Feb. 24. The 2-1 panel decision in September siding with the Trump admin was a Rao, joined by Katsas, majority. Pillard dissented. Order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Same, and I said so in my comment when I signed the petition.

The storms in WA state have been a sobering reminder: the decisions we make in DC really matter for families back home. 20 years ago, I secured funding for Mount Vernon to build a flood wall. Now, that flood wall is preventing major flooding from devastating the city's downtown.

I believe the Court is communicating ex parte with the White House about this case and has been for months.

FUN FACT: All members of Congress have socialized healthcare that American taxpayers pay for, but Republicans refuse to help the people they represent afford health insurance coverage.

Yesterday, I told you about the Didukh, a traditional Ukrainian Christmas symbol made of grain. Today, I’m showing you works by a different artisan, and they’re stunning. Should I continue sharing Ukrainian artisans and traditions?
