House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

This image shows framed artwork of a digital painting depicting two large tiger lilies, surrounded by vines with vibrant green leaves, and an ornate antique-style border. The design has a vintage aesthetic, inspired by Victorian-era posters. There is a ribbon-style banner across the center and woven around the lilies. The word "Lily" is written in the banner in elegant vintage-style type. The entire design features an ornamental border with orange-colored flowers in the corners. Written at the top of the border are the words 'Tiger Lily Meaning'. Written at the bottom is the phrase 'Protection & Prosperity'. The elegant vintage-style font of the text in the border matches the word 'Lily' in the center. At the bottom of the image is a wide black band. Written in the band is the title of the art, "Tiger Lilies Mean Protection and Prosperity Vintage-Style Design Distressed Brown Background", the name of the artist, Heather Benedict, and the link to purchase a print of the art on the website Fine Art America.

Concept sketch for a new vintage-style border. It still has some issues to work out but I’ll tackle them when I transfer it to my computer.

Plumeria Blossoms with Soft Watercolor Feel – My original photo, edited for a painterly look.

This shows framed wall art of the tropical flower plumeria, also known as frangipani or the lei flower plant. The white and yellow flowers are rendered in a dreamy, abstract style against a soft palette of lavender watercolors on a textured white paper background. The petals blend harmoniously with the background, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Legendary Blarney Castle, Ireland. Photo from a 2002 visit to Ireland, edited to create a painterly feel and a peaceful, enchanting, fantasy vibe.

A framed landscape photo of Blarney Castle, Ireland. The photo has been edited to have a hand-painted look. It is a bright spring day. The castle is seen from a distance over a lush green lawn, partially behind beautiful green trees. The sky is bright with peaceful clouds and a subtle rainbow over the castle. The castle ruins are grey and crumbling with age. They have a mysterious feeling, contrasting with the pleasant castle grounds and yard.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
