#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Liv wants to see spooky knits this week. I don't really subscribe to the whole Halloween thing, so didn't think I had anything to offer. Then I remembered my Deep in the Forest Mittens, which do look rather mysterious. Noro Kuryeon Sock for the background, cream alpaca for trees.

A pair of traditional shaped mittens lying on a wooden table. The mittens depict a forest full of interlocking trees. The trees are knit in cream alpaca from very deep stash; the background is Noro Kureyon Sock yarn in shades of blues, greens, orange and purple. The mittens have a Latvian braid on the narrow cuff. Due to the nature of the colourchange background yarn, the mittens are fraternal rather than matching, showing blue through purple, green and turquoise on one mitten, and turquoise, green, lime green orange and purple on the other.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I've been in the Capitol, and there's two things I couldn't find this week: I couldn't find anywhere the Epstein files and also couldn't find the Republican plan to fix the absolutely destroyed health insurance industry."

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

I am old enough to remember when Trump said he would lower grocery prices on Day One.

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

Trump cites a murderous war criminal to attack the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s decision. Truly absurd and disturbing. And narcissism of a pathological degree.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?
