Amazing. Love this!!
How do you get a stretchy and invisible folded hem on a top down sweater? 🧶🌺☕️🫖🧶
Recently, I saw this method of grafting the hem together, and I’m not going back! The result is invisible and as stretchy as the rest of your knitted fabric.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Here's what should happen: When the Rs take a giant dump on ACA subsidies, every media in the 8 states should ask the senators, "What do you have to say to people who will die because they can't afford health insurance?"
And keep asking until you get an answer

And that question should be asked in the Senate. Everyone who doesn't actively work to remove Schumer and Durbin from their positions should be primaried.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.
Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.
Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
