I’m a Katie Porter fan, but this got my attention. In a very good way.

“Adam #Schiff is calling for a major overhaul of American institutions, including getting rid of the Electoral College, expanding the Supreme Court and eliminating the filibuster.”

An electrician had to cut a hole in our drywall and instead of just patching it up, my wife decided to make a little scene with miniatures embedded in the wall. 😂🖼️🤯

Edit: https://pixelfed.social/@thisfunhouse has some more pictures of the subway and I will post lots more quirky art over there.

God wants an Apocalypse

I heard a rumour, the US will finally close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Any future terrorists caught by the US will instead be placed in a jail cell next to Donald Trump.

Experts say, three days of having to listen to Trump talking about "the great witch-hunt" while flapping his arms like a seal will crack anyone.

Chris Christie, in dropping out of the GOP Presidential race, just gave one of the best speeches a Republican could make. Eight years too late. That's great that people like him, Bill Kristol, the Lincoln Project, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, and others sacrificed their careers when they saw Trump for what he was. Now, we have to unite the whole world against the clear and present danger of Donald Trump to this country. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/1/11/2216723/-Christie-Gives-the-Speech-of-his-life-Four-Years-Late?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web
