-$4.5B from programs for students in high-poverty schools
-$49M from the Ed Dept's civil rights office
-$26B from state rental assistance
-$4B from low-income home energy assistance
-$20B+ from the CDC and NIH
All to give the rich another tax cut.
Vibrant orange/peach color rose with greenery in background.
I don't know how this rose looks like it is always glowing. It's just a forever favorite
(No filter on "Just Joey" rose)
Great display.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is claiming dictatorial power, declaring in a social media post that the pardons issued by former President Biden are null and void—using lies as his justification.

I just finished this 12" x 16" mosaic today, and am titling it "Fuschia's Friend." Stained and iridescent glass, and tiny glass fusions. JaneRussellMosaics.com #art #mosaic #bird #glass,

I just finished this glass and slate mosaic. It is 12" x 16" and is wired to hang on the wall. I am probably going to title it "Vorona," which is the Ukranian word for "crow." JaneRussellMosaics.com

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire.
This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy.
It’s time to speak out and fight back.

I finished and framed this mosaic today. I used hand-cut glass, glass that I fused, glass frit, slate, tiny glass microspheres, glass stringers, and tinted mortar. This piece was inspired by a photo that I took of lichen growing on a neighbor's fence. 12" x 12". JaneRussellMosaics.com

I'm signing off for now. But can anyone doubt we are, as of today, in an existential battle for our democracy? It's a battle that could be lost but must be won. We have to call out every lie and resist every incursion.

There is controversy over whether it actually is law because there were 2 deadlines associated with it (which is not required by law). However, some believe it must be "certified" and then published. I don't believe that is required by the constitution either.
20.01.2025 17:19 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Great quote, but it seems it cannot be confidently attributed to Alexandra K. Trenfor, according to my search. The quote is listed as attributed to her in a few quotation books, but no source. If you search for her, nothing comes up except the "quote." I certainly agree with the statement.
