The fall colors at Kubota Garden are starting to peak. I made three trips this month, and each time the maples had a little more color. These four are from those visits, the twisted maple, a laceleaf over the rocks, the colors near the bridge, and a backlit sapling. #KubotaGarden #Seattle

FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

average gasoline and diesel prices stubbornly holding in familiar territory: $4.26/gal for gasoline, $6.35/gal for diesel. prices may slip a few cents but long term relief remains elusive.

Warsh has made a point of saying less. His Fed colleagues are speaking as much as they were a year ago “It’s probably the worst of all possible outcomes,” says @claudia-sahm.bsky.social. “Nobody can force him to talk for the committee. And frankly, he can’t force other committee members to shut up"

One of those moments I'll never forget.

The "Queen of Gospel" Mahalia Jackson was born #OTD in 1911. "To speak of her voice is to speak of magic and mystery and majesty. Hers is not a voice. It is a force of nature. It moves with the power of a tornado and soothes with the tenderness of a spring rain." #MusicHistory #Music #MusicSky

Former Miss Switzerland Accuses Trump of Rape. Now you get why Trump has to support the vile Vivek ad calling Amy Acton a liar about being raped as a child. Trump is always protecting himself so he smears all rape victims as liars. www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.
