What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Decided to take up crochet for a bit of fun, maybe quicker creative dive/faster than normal stuff. This was my 1st attempt. Very encouraged. Wore it yesterday for my BLUE when out and about. A big thank you to the YouTube crocheters that made it possible. Learning circles today. #textiles #crochet

So glad I’m a @saqaart.bsky.social member and congrats to Laura on the acquisition. 👏
Woo hoo!! Great news! The SAQA board voted unanimously to pull the entire show out of AQS (see previous post for details)
And the International Quilt Museum has acquired my quilt for their permanent collection!
We all could use some good news. Thank you everyone for making your voices heard!

I always forget how much time is involved in the piecing and cutting and ironing….before you get to play with the threads. One of my minis is close to being ready for thread painting. Feels so good to be playing with color. Took my mind off of judicial disappointments today. #art #quiltsky
