I draw a lot, play guitar and ukulele, & live on the Oregon Coast. I didn't start drawing until my mid-60s or play musical instruments until my late 50s. Both activities are therapeutic--especially in today's world. No kings.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The lack of information is especially troubling now, with the central bank facing so many mixed signals on the economy.

NEW: A federal judge lambasted top Trump administration officials over “troubling” comments they made about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, saying many of them are “exaggerated if not simply inaccurate” and threaten his right to a fair trial.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

"And yet, at the same time the Department of Agriculture says it cannot spend its $6 billion in reserves to address the $8 billion needed for SNAP in November, the administration easily found $20 billion to prop up right-wing Trump ally Javier Milei in Argentina."
