Gustav Klimt's "Lady with Hat and Featherboa" captures a mysterious and fashionable woman enveloped in a dark, luxuriant boa, with just her eyes and enigmatic expression peering through a sea of fabrics. This sumptuous work, showcasing Klimt's fascination with bold patterns and rich textures, exemplifies his style during the Vienna Secession period.

Could we look at the big picture?

Trump's schemes have one consistent objective. Trump wants control over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE EVERYWHERE!

Total control over the USA!
Total control over the entire WORLD!

Is it too obvious to recognize?

Texas U.S. citizen was fatally shot by an immigration agent last year during a stop, new records show The death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, would mark the earliest of at least six deadly shootings by federal officers since the start of the Trump administration's nationwide immigration crackdown.

Our government shot & killed an American citizen during a stop last year. We’re only finding out about it now. Where’s the outrage ⁦‪from Senators Cornyn‬⁩ & ⁦‪Cruz‬⁩ ? This is their constituent.

Wtf?

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One vaccine may provide broad protection against many respiratory infections and allergens Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues invented a new vaccine that protects mice from respiratory viruses, bacteria and allergens — the closest yet to a universal vaccine.

Exciting! Stanford researchers have developed a UNIVERSAL INTRANASAL vaccine. A study in mouse models shows that vaccinated mice were protected against Covid & other coronaviruses. Still a long way to humans. This study was #NIH funded.

A potential game changer.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

Charges against Former Prince Andrew must be dropped if it’s determined that raping teenagers was an official act.

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

Good details on confluence of events around Epstein’s death and interviews of a Trump accuser.

There seems to be a slight breakdown in syntax in this paragraph:

“Many of the new Asgard microbes live in the deep sea, but others dwell in coastal waters. But others are land, in habitats ranging from permafrost tundras to lagoons. They may be rare, but they’re also widespread.”

You’re new here, aren’t you?

Just wrote about how incredibly stupid this argument is!

Roudebush provides a constitutional posture that courts should adopt, a recognition that some acts can usurp the power of Congress to judge elections. That will provide a meaningful constraint on the executive ahead of the 2026 election and reduce the risk of intervention in an ongoing election.
