I love to cook and live to garden, so I'm combining my two favorite topics here. Cooking show devotee!

I saw a video making the rounds on right-wing social media today of Zelensky that mocks him because he used to be a performer, with old clips of him. Well, he can’t top the ‘Donald Trump’s House of Wings’ clip.

Wage Theft >> Twin brothers who ran construction company stole 1000s of dollars from their immigrant workers

One brother responded to a worker's request to be paid by pulling out a knife & with his other hand, repeatedly punching the worker in the head

Wow. House Oversight Republicans just sent a letter to Pete Buttigieg saying they’re investigating him for his response to East Palestine, Ohio. Bring it on. Pete Buttigieg will absolutely humiliate and make every Republican regret this with his brilliance.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

In the year since Russia's illegal invasion, the Congress has supported Ukraine: securing $113 billion in security, economic & humanitarian aid, isolating Russia, and holding Putin accountable.

Today, and every day, America stands with Ukraine in the fight for Democracy.🇺🇸🇺🇦

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

It’s particularly galling when politicians who know better, are educated in geopolitics, subvert US national security for base naked ambition. I detest those that use demagoguery masquerading as patriotism to endanger Americans. There are few worse than @HawleyMO & @tedcruz !

Caseworkers have been under pressure by officials, including by Xavier Becerra, the secretary of health and human services, to work even faster.

In the rush, many migrant children end up working some of the most punishing jobs in the country.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

As migrant children cross the border alone in record numbers, the Biden administration has ramped up pressure to release them to adults as quickly as possible. Most children are released to sponsors with no follow-up beyond a phone call.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Children stitch “Made in America” tags into shirts for J. Crew. They bake dinner rolls sold at Walmart and Target, process milk used in Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and help debone chicken sold at Whole Foods.

In the U.S., migrant child labor is everywhere. https://t.co/ZQzCpdcVX0

If the first day of winter is this week, how many months until we make window boxes with Ivy Geranium?

Good morning! Have a few hours of work at the store then home to garden. Beautiful day ahead. 💕

Millions of Americans have paid into Social Security and Medicare for their entire lives—we cannot let Republicans end the guarantee of these programs.

Good morning. 🌻🌻🌻
