This work depicts Francis Cadell's living room at 6 Ainslie Place in Edinburgh in the 1920s; his furniture was bright, contemporary; the floor a glossy black, the walls a rich mauve. The colour, organisation and structure is clearly reflected in this crisp, modern picture.

Dahlia 'Fire and Ice' has produced a rogue bloom with petals that are almost entirely all red, which seems appropriate for #RedWednesday 🌱📷

The California coast is beautiful from San Diego to Mendocino, but one of my favorite spots is the stretch of Highway 1 between Carmel and Big Sur.

The California coast is beautiful from San Diego to Mendocino, but one of my favorite spots is the stretch of Highway 1 between Carmel and Big Sur. This impressionistic painting captures one of the many beautiful coastal vistas, captured during the rosy light of sunset.

So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage.

It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

In addition to kicking 250,000+ Veterans off their health coverage, don't forget:

Trump fired more Veterans than any other President and is hellbent on firing thousands of VA workers as well.

He doesn't care about Veterans or middle-class families.

He only cares about himself.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov · 1d

If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute.

These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.

If you feel a disturbance in the force in Edmonton today, it’s because two librarians named Jen Waters are at the same conference. I haven’t met her yet but this is my only goal over the next two days.

Trump’s had four shutdowns in five years - it’s less a presidency and more like a reboot cycle.
