Who could say no to this face when he wants treats?

A black and white cat sits on the floor, staring up with big round eyes as if begging for treats.

A short amble by the river Wear in lunch hour. Saw what I think might’ve been a cormorant fishing in the river, and a couple of waxwings foraging for berries. 😊

The river with willows on the banks starting to turn yellow.

White yarrow and pink Himalayan balsam flowers.

Tall plant with yellow flowers, possibly goldenrod but not sure.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?
