Republicans control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.

Millions of Americans they represent will see health insurance premiums double or even triple in just days.

Congressional Republicans need to stand up for the people they represent.

In case you hadn't noticed, we are selling the country off to the Saudis.

I have to admit, it's impressive. 24 years ago they killed 3300 Americans and destroyed the WTC and the Pentagon. This week they are helping Kushner try to take over Warner Brothers.

Wow!
'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Frank Gehry, whose designs defied gravity and convention, dies at 96
Gehry transformed modern architecture with exuberant buildings such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum. "I've always been for optimism and architecture not being sad," he said.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Making Trump’s birthday a free-entry day at national parks while eliminating MLK Day and Juneteenth is foul. Our parks should reflect our shared history, NOT cater to Trump’s ego. Families are struggling to get by - that’s where his focus should be.
