Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Report: U.S. added nearly $700 billion to national debt in four months - NewsBreak (The Center Square) – The U.S. government added $696 billion to the national debt over the past four months, borrowing $94 billion in the month of January

STEALING OUR MONEY!

tRumpstein ADDED $696 BILLION TO THE NATIONAL DEBT OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS ...

Borrowing $94 billion in January alone!!!

100% of Gross Domestic Product! The HIGHEST PERCENTAGE THE NATIONAL DEBT HAS EVER MADE UP OF GDP WAS 106%, and that was immediately following World War II

The gents' outfitters on the left is no longer in Trinity Street. The grey shop frontage in the middle distance is Heffers, a wonderful bookshop: long may it survive. I think this one is sold.

An old watercolour sketch of Cambridge Trinity Street. I must admit that populating the streets with people in their may ball finery did well for sales at a time when I really needed the money!

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Good evening.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

Remember, the shitty jobs numbers you see from this administration are their fake numbers. The real numbers are much, much worse.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

A Eurasian nuthatch, wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea), or simply nuthatch, looks straight at the camera by swivelling its head to its left.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StareDown, birds looking right at you, so here's a nuthatch doing just that.

A gray wolf was spotted in LA County for the first time in 100 years yesterday. Clearly a big deal.

But on my morning walk thru Los Feliz, this "little wolf" (aka coyote) is giving off "hold my beer" vibes.

Has the right ever NOT complained about a Super Bowl halftime show ever?

Y'all, I've about had enough with recipe sites being so covered in advertisements I can't see the recipe. But having a link for a cheese fondue recipe lead to a weight loss site is just mean.

The things you do, when “you have nothing to hide”.

An oil painting of mixed flowers in a vase is being completed on an easel in the studio. Other objects included are glass bottles amd shells

A flower still life in oil on gessoed board from nearly a decade ago (sold). The camera distorts the difference in size between the painting and the subject but gets the colour pretty acurately (an excellent DMC-LX5- still in use)
