Brand new here… trying to find my way to some hope and connection in this post election world. I love books, art, photography, travel, fashion, birding, hiking, road trips, dogs, snark, and film/tv.

House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

So happy that @bradlander.bsky.social is running for Congress. From everything I’ve seen, he really walks the talk and seems to love the people he serves. Go Brad!

Yet another fight is brewing over Missouri's new gerrymander. Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins says the law will go into effect tomorrow, even though opponents submitted 300K sigs this week for a veto referendum.
Organizers say the law was suspended as soon as they turned those sigs in.

I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it!

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have.
We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

Our utility bill is ridiculously huge now. Saving $1.00 a month on gas for the car doesn't even come close to making up for it.
Borelli: Would’ve been great if Jimmy Carter would’ve done something like Trump
Phillip: What did he do?
Borelli: Energy prices low
Phillip: You mean gas prices that are six cents lower? Oh, are you talking about electricity prices that are going up?
