A photo of a mountain lake in late autumn with a cloudy sky and snow in the air.

"Awoke today and found the frost perched on the town.
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold...
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go. Meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in." Joni Mitchell

Wood chipper, feet first.

Politicians who change parties after election should have to win a special election to keep their seat. Let the voters decide.

Trump refusing to take the L on the California Clapback — instead wants to go take another L in court. Man, they really don’t like democracy.

“California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 50”

Well well well

I don’t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesn’t.

Milky Way to the left and red glow to the right above mountains with just a little snow on them in a very starry sky. I didn't use a star tracker and this was a 30 second exposure so some star trailing is visible.

So when the aurora borealis is faint enough, you can capture its glow with the Milky Way 😍

Berthoud Pass, CO last night

Wtf

Breaking….

I don’t have unlimited toilet paper in my own house.

Must be nice.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

REP. JOHN ROSE (R): "MARSHA BLACKBURN is planning to put millions of dollars in her own pocket at the expense of the American taxpayer."

(@repjohnrose is running against @marshablackburn for governor. Senator Hagerty is also guilty of this shameless self-dealing.) #MarshaMoneyGrab

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

THE SITUATION ROOM

Trump’s DOE may soon force more coal plants to stay open Colorado coal plants are likely to face DOE orders to keep running past planned closure dates, even as the costs of keeping an old Michigan plant open…

Looking like President Trump will force a Colorado coal plant to stay open past its scheduled closure date this year, unnecessarily driving up electric rates: www.canarymedia.com/articles/fos... via @jeffstjohn.bsky.social

The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.
