A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
Even though Biden invited the entire Kentucky congressional caucus to join him on his visit to their state yesterday to survey the damage caused by the deadly tornadoes over the weekend, according to the White House, the only Republican who took him up on his invite was Rep. James Comer (R-KY).
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) threw cold water on the idea of prohibiting members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks while in office yesterday because âwe are a free-market economy,â therefore lawmakers âshould be able to participate in that.â
Of course she did. You wouldnât want the congress to be a representation of the people they represent. It is the rare congress member that does not leave office way wealthier than when they entered.
Perhaps he should have brought some paper towels.
durn covid making it harder to keep up appearancesâŠ
Well, heck, everyone has priorities. Hair is his. 
On Sunday Chile will have its second round of voting. If you havenât kept up with what has been going on there, this is a good article. The race is close; the ultra right wing, Bolsanaro/Trump type candidate is getting support from Bannon via Bolsanaroâs son. Much of this will sound familiar. There are children of former Naziâs involved. Amazing.
I bet he thinks this song is about him.
Pretty sure his hair was not all that was a mess
Has to be dealt withâŠ
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) continues to bearhug the filibuster despite Democratsâ renewed efforts to reform the procedure to pass their crucial voting rights bill.
âWe canât be seen with Biden. Donnie will get angry.â
Such is the backbone of even Kentucky Republicans.
I commented yesterday about the look MTG had on her face as Jordon yelled about the texts being released.
That includes McConnell and Rand Paul who have a chronic case of chicken-shititis when it comes to choosing disaster relief for their constituents from the United States over fear of fat donnie.
Congress members arenât just feathering their own nests. They are giving a heads up to their donors as well. Pelosi knows this. She also knows she would lose the speakership if she goes after insider stock trading.
Without the filibuster America gets a better democracy. So lets stop addressing Sinemaâs bullshit in terms of the filibuster. Sheâs not bear hugging the filibuster sheâs kicking a better America in the teeth.

such then is beauty
surrendered
against all hope
you are here again
turning slowly
nature as chameleon
all life change
and changing again
awakening hearts
steady moving from
unnamed loss
into fierce deep grief
that can bear all burdens
even the long passage
into a shadowy dark
where no light enters
night moves
through the thick dark
a heavy silence outside
near the front window
a black bear
stamps down plants
pushing back brush
fleeing manmade
confinement
roaming unfettered
confident
any place can become home
strutting down
a steep hill
as though freedom
is all
in the now
no past
no present
earth works
thick brown mud
clinging pulling
a body down
heard wounded earth cry
bequeath to me
the hoe the hope
ancestral rights
to turn the ground over
to shovel and sift
until history
rewritten resurrected
returns to its rightful owners
a past to claim
yet another stone lifted to
throw against the enemy
making way for new endings
random seeds
spreading over the hillside
wild roses
come by fierce wind and hard rain
unleashed furies
here in this touched wood
a dirge a lamentation
for earth to live again
earth that is all at once a grave
a resting place a bed of new beginnings
avalanche of splendor
Billo sure thinks a lot of himself.
Sure, Bill. And Trump would have stopped the Parkland School murders if only heâd been there.
