Raging Storm, 2013
Oil on canvas, 63x54

Raging Storm captures a dark, heavy mood through a dense layering of shadows and warm light. Deep browns and blacks dominate the scene, while a glowing red-orange source pulses softly behind silhouetted trees. Vertical shapes rise through the darkness, guiding the eye toward the distant warmth and adding depth to the composition. The rough, layered brushstrokes give the surface a tactile energy, enhancing the feeling of tension and emotional weight. The contrast between shadow and firelight creates a charged atmosphere that feels both mysterious and intense.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

We’re living through the deepest crisis of trust in institutions since 1848, the clearest shift in America’s role in the world since 1945, and the most serious test of political liberalism since 1989. It will take until the 2030s for most people to accept that this is happening.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Thanks to everyone for always keeping those cameras rolling and sharing the videos online. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will now be required to wear body cameras, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

The ‘Anthropological Change’ Happening in Venezuela

Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

Ave, 2006
Oil on canvas, 46x38 in

A quiet field of blue and muted shades stretches across the surface, softened by smooth transitions of light and shadow. Thin black lines cross the space, forming a subtle grid that guides the eye without overwhelming the calm beneath. The composition feels balanced and open, inviting a moment of stillness. Together, these elements create a gentle atmosphere where tension eases and quiet reflection becomes possible.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.
