When my mother first became a snowbird at my house in Florida, she decided to learn how to use a computer by writing a cookbook for the family. Her cookbook is full of family stories and memories as well as recipes.

This is how Democrats need to handle this question, rather than try to outflank Republicans by aping their specious anti-trans talking points.

Dinner tonight was chicken and veggie soup baked in a pumpkin

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

in this house if you are turning 6 and you ask for a cake that is rainbow on the outside AND on the inside and has pink icing and strawberries and also is a heart, then by god that's what you'll have

Oil is the cause, the effect, the weapon, and the vulnerability in our world’s myriad wars billmckibben.substack.com/p/are-the-pe...

The US economy is about 12 times larger than the Russian economy and per capita output is six times larger. CA, NY and TX surpass Russian output. It's a minor economic country. But Trump only wants to match the scale of theft and dictatorial, oligarchic rule of Putin, the people be damned.

AP: "Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who oversees the Catholic Church’s pastoral services to Catholics in the U.S. military…stipulated that any Catholic soldier assigned to the U.S. Army firing squad should ask to be excused from that duty, which he described as contrary to the teachings of the church."

For the umpteenth time: Hillary was 💯 spot on, absolutely correct about Donald Trump 10yrs ago.👇

I routinely watch the Sunday morning political interview shows and find them in general to be a very low calorie affair. That's largely a function of the debased nature of political dialogue in this country. But Jonathan Karl's interview of Adam Hamilton, the Methodist minister seeking to replace

Hamilton has been the pastor of what is now the world's largest United Methodist Church (which he co-founded) for 36 years. J.D. Vance became a "practicing Christian" in 2019. Regardless of your thoughts on Christianity and religion in general, the gall on display here is stunning.

Great interview of Adam Hamilton, the United Methodist pastor running for the Kansas seat in the US Senate. He shares his common sense approach and perspective on several important issues. Listen and share. youtu.be/MhUpHyxsyoo?...

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

Just got another hardworking young man with no criminal record (who came in 'the right way) out of Karnes Detention Center. President Trump, you'll be in San Antonio on Wednesday. Come see the Dilley Trailer Prison that traumatizes young children.

ICE's shameless stupid cruelty continues unabated. Here's a truly wrenching account from our wonderful local Vermont newspaper, which I imagine could be multiplied a thousandfold every day across America. Many thanks to Liza Cochran, its author bravelittlevoices.substack.com/p/terror-in-...

There were tomatoes. This is the last of the harvest. Pears next.

A vote for Ashley Moody is a vote for D*nald Tru*mp.

Wow! Schmitt didn’t just get it wrong, his team was warned the texts were unvetted, but he used them anyway. Not only that, Chuck Grassley’s Judiciary staff left the texts out of its own hearing memo. Schmitt’s team went digging for them, then used them to accuse Jack Smith of perjury.

Yes.

Starting today, some of the cruelest changes to food stamps and Medicaid from Trump and Republicans' big, ugly bill go into effect. Here's what you need to know.

If "communism is the greatest threat to our country in its history" and he wants to root it out of America, then why is he hanging pictures of communist authoritarians in gilded frames in the White House?

Supreme court to hear case challenging Trump’s immigration detention policy

Turnabout is fair play... grab 'em by the paycheck.

Donald Trump is using the U.S. treasury and our tax dollars like it’s his personal piggy bank. And just like he squandered hundreds of millions given to him by dear old dad, he’s squandering our money now.

Fresh off his victory in #Kansas’ Democratic Senate primary, the Rev #AdamHamilton, who leads the country’s largest United Methodist congregation, told MS Now’s Stephanie Ruhle that he’s ready to end his party’s nearly century-long losing streak for Congress’ upper chamber... By Allison Detzel

this has been clear from the beginning with folks like Raphael Warnock but man, being a pastor is like a cheat code for effective communication

I remember having a similar reaction when I visited a Catholic church in Munich, absolutely crammed full of gilding, and immediately realised why Protestant churches were so much simpler. As a Methodist, spending that much wealth on a church instead of good causes felt like an affront to God.

Got all caught up on school work, so I was able to spend some time outside before the storm rolls in. It’s a perfect fall day. It’s currently 69° F with 42% humidity. The garden is still producing at a high level. This is the best time of year imo. All the windows are open #gardening #bloomscrolling

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
