Does anyone know why fighter jets are flying over the DC area today? Was there a press conference outside regarding the Epstein files he wanted to silence? #EpsteinFiles #fighterjers #DMV

My beautiful Morning Meditation 83 arrived safely and it is even more beautiful in person. Once my Christmas tree comes down, I will hang it with my other tree paintings. Also @heatherihnart.com, thank you for the adorable crow figure you made and the stickers. I 💙 them all.

My granddaughter is 17 today. She’s lived with me since the day after her 9th birthday. It’s been a journey, and it’s all gone by too fast. (My grandson turned 23 in September).

Grumpy cat Aster slowly warming up to my grandson, while Nymeria won’t give him space. (Blankets because I forgot cats think expensive leather is their personal scratching post. 😬)

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Does anyone believe Johnson’s press conference that he’s just trying to protect the victims? He is such a liar comparing the judge not releasing Grand Jury documents to the release of the DOJ Epstein files. He is a disgrace to our Country, and the weakest Speaker of the House we have ever had.

This is me at 15 years old. Thank goodness I was never assaulted or sexually abused as a child. But people, especially women like Megyn Kelly and Karoline Leavitt, who make excuses or cover for men who were involved in trafficking children makes me sick to my stomach. #ReleaseEpsteinFilesNow

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.
Remove him from office.

How does anyone support the GOP?
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Am I the only one who finds it a bit ironic that tr*mp’s lawyers (FKA: US DOJ) have successfully indicted John Bolton for “improperly retained classified materials”…I mean, you can’t make this stuff up. I can’t wait until we take our Democracy back and prosecute tr*mp and his entire administration.

I dedicated nearly 38 yrs of my life working for the judicial system in DC. There was mutual trust & respect between judges, the DOJ, the Bar, PDS, and law enforcement. This horrible woman & her overlord are damaging the integrity of the DOJ beyond repair www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
