A field full of marigolds

"Mario" is hard at work in Watsonville, CA harvesting marigolds. "My job is to cut and make bunches of flowers for #DiaDeLosMuertos celebrations.These flowers will be used on alters to honor loved ones that have passed."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I know, weird, right?

I voted YES and my vote was received and counted. Let's get this done, and let's take our country back! 🇺🇸⚖️⚖️🇺🇸

Looks so good! I miss all the Portuguese food from the Southcoast of MA. Sweet bread toasted with butter and strawberry jam, stuffed quahogs, spicy clam boils with crushed red peppers and chourico/linguicia. Bolos Levedos. 😍

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I was chasing the foliage for some awesome photography and had to drive north to Baxter State Park for the beginning of the color change. The northern part of the park had more color than the southern end. This was the southern end with a hint of color to the left of the canoe.

Here's how I know the "blowing up #cartel drug boats" off #Venezuela is bullshit:

Because if they knew those boats had a shitload of drugs, they would:

- stop & board them
- take publicity photos with the drugs
- bring the drugs back to the US
- do some of the drugs & sell the rest

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

I voted YES on Prop 50! Let's do it! 🇺🇸⚖️⚖️🇺🇸

The Supreme Court has set the December calendar. The big campaign finance case, NRSC v. FEC, will be heard on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

I will be arguing for the Democratic Party Intervenors in defense of the law and against the GOP petition.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.
