Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?
Noem: We have not deported military veterans.
Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

'Kitchen Range.' (1984) As artists grow older, they can fall from fashion, but age also brings gravitas if we have the imagination to see it. Anthony Eyton turned 102 earlier this year, and still, he paints compositions, which flood scenes with light and atmosphere.

BIG NEWS: A federal grand jury has AGAIN refused to indict NY AG Letitia James in the Eastern District of Virginia — this time in Alexandria.
This is just a week after the DOJ tried and failed to secure a grand jury indictment in Norfolk.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

'The Lighthouse.' James Fitton’s 1933 lighthouse painting reflects his distinctive illustrative style of the period, clean lines, simplified forms, and a strong, graphic sense of structure applied to a familiar coastal subject.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.
Good.
Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.
She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.
It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

In 1911, Albert Marquet went to stay in Conflans, a village in the Yvelines region, to the west of Paris. Situated at the confluence of two rivers, the Oise and the Seine, Marquet continued his exploration of painting the built environment and its reflection in water.
