.@judgeluttig on Trump's efforts to delegitimize our democracy and rule of law: “The prohibitively high cost to the nation at this point though is that...the former president has normalized his behavior and his delegitimizing and dehumanizing rhetoric into our political culture.”

Today, I am 80 years young.

Relationships are everything. I am fortunate to have been surrounded by loved ones all my life.

I look forward to each day. Having Ilana by my side is my best gift.

Creating opportunities for others makes me so happy.

And I'm not done yet!

Wishing Rosalynn Carter a blessed journey to the land of beautiful souls. 🙏🏾🪶✨

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Saddened to hear of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter's passing.

She was a tireless champion for mental health care and human rights. And service above all.

She will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with President Carter and the whole family.

It wasn’t a heart attack. But I was having slight chest pains and my wife wanted me to go to Emergency and get checked out. It was all in Network. 4 hours and 2 or 3 tests later, my Insurance was billed over 20k. Another $800 for the dr. My part was $2k. Our system is broken.

Closing libraries on the weekends is the first step to closing them entirely.

Gutting public services so most people can’t use them makes it easier to argue we shouldn’t fund them at all.

Thursday evening. The first snow-rain. I am here with some of the latest news from Ukraine for those of you where Ukraine is disappearing from the news coverage. I share what I read. So, it is #warcoffeedaily, November 16, 2023:

Winter is coming
At night, a russian attack damaged a thermal power plant in one of Ukraine's frontline regions. This is reportedly the fourth time the plant has been damaged.
In the afternoon, russian forces attacked the settlement of Bilozerka near Kherson. A critical infrastructure facility was destroyed, one person was killed, and four people were injured. Bilozerka and the surrounding villages are without power.
In the evening, Kherson was under a large-scale attack. At the moment, there is information that one person was killed and eight were injured. Some parts of the city are without power.

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP)
On November 14, the incompetent actions of the russian forces and employees of Rosatom led to a partial blackout at the ZNPP. Press service of Energoatom, Ukrainian national nuclear power company, informed. This information was confirmed by IAEA inspectors currently on the temporarily occupied power plant site.
Today, Energoatom informed that Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant's power unit 5 leaks from the reactor's primary circuit.

Meanwhile, in the madhouse
North Korea and russia have signed a protocol for expanding cooperation following the bilateral talks on economy, science, and technology in Pyongyang.

🔥🔥This is too good!

Teamsters President Sean O'brien just went on Fox News and absolutely humiliated Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin, who tried to fight him in a Senate hearing this week.

"It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen."

"First, he says we're consenting adults, which was bizarre, because it sounded like he wanted to date me."

"Then, he asked to fight me."

" I'm hearing now he wanted to bite me."

"And the last post he made was in front of a cache of automatic weapons where he says 'any time any place'".'

"So make up your mind. You want to date me, fight me, bight me, or shoot me?" 🤣🤣

There are those who want a Cold War with China. I don’t. While there are strong differences between our countries, there will be no solution to the climate change crisis unless the U.S. and China cooperate. I applaud Presidents Biden and Xi for working together on that issue.

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

We hope that other state AGs will follow @NewYorkStateAG lead and file similar lawsuits to hold the corporations polluting our planet and bodies with plastics accountable. Any interest, @AGRobBonta ? https://t.co/BVFhyS43u5

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping signaled that China will send new pandas to the United States, calling them “envoys of friendship between the Chinese and American peoples.” 🐼🐼🐼 https://t.co/ZqlvMCJ4cm

Ohio voters enshrined abortion access in the state’s constitution.

Now, Ohio GOP lawmakers have a new amendment that would consolidate power over reproductive laws within the state legislature.

It's a complete override of the will of voters.

This should be a national scandal.

“No company is too big to ensure that their products do not damage our environment and public health. All NYers have a basic right to clean water, yet PepsiCo’s irresponsible packaging and marketing endanger Buffalo’s water supply, environment and public health,” James said.
