A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

I finished knitting the ranunculus today and it is drying. Will get back to the socks next. Am closing in on the toe section from sock one.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Trump made $400m from his dinner tomorrow night. Along with the plane + improvements the dude pocketed $1b this week leveraging the Presidency. $1 billion - while he cuts health care for seniors and working people and raises prices on all of us.

No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post.

Apparently, when I have three or more active WIPs, I fail to finish any of them.

Am currently knitting 🧶 socks, my second ranunculus sweater, and the temperature project and they are all languishing.

This is terrific. And your blog post is super helpful, too! I might have to dive in and make this one. Loved the idea of fringing the opening closed.

I can’t get myself to wear it long enough to help. I do think a long break will be required to fix my pain.

I fought damn hard to create the 988 Hotline because help should not be hard to get – regardless of who you are or where you live.

This is wrong and cruel – and you can be sure I will fight this. www.axios.com/2025/04/23/l...
