"You can draw a straight line from what [McConnell] did to shape the courts, to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, to the overturning of affirmative action. ... He changed American life," says Michael Tackett. https://t.co/yvmyyYCRvp

Ted Mondale delivers a tribute to Jimmy Carter written by his father, former Vice President Walter Mondale, before his death in 2021:

"We came up with a sentence, which remains an important summary of our work: 'We told the truth, we obeyed the law and we kept the peace.' That we did, Mr. President."

If you’re in D.C., the @USNatArchives has a really cool exhibit on display through January about the coal communities and the labor struggles that miners led in Appalachia. The exhibit is called “Power & Light”.

Cervical cancer deaths among women younger than 25 have plummeted in recent years, the likely result of vaccinating adolescents against human papillomavirus, or HPV, high-risk strains of which cause the cancer, researchers said.

Exactly a decade after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Rankin/Bass created a cult classic Christmas special, The Year Without a Santa Claus.This 1974 ABC Christmas special is famous for the Miser Bros but there's a bit more to the story than their sibling rivalry. Here we go...

This time of year, I am always reminded of the Thanksgiving scene painted by one of my favorite artists, Norman Rockwell. Many people don’t know this, but Rockwell actually lived for a time in Arlington, Vermont, and painted some of his most well-known pieces there, including his “Four Freedoms.” He even used many of his Vermont neighbors as models and inspiration in his work.

Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” series was published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1943. They were paintings that reflected the vision that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt articulated in his 1941 State of the Union speech: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.

In that speech Roosevelt stated:

“In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

“The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

“The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

“That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.”

In my view, Roosevelt’s vision from 1941 remains relevant today.

On behalf of Jane, my children, and my grandkids, let me take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.

Last night's snow got me thinking about past scenes like this one from 2019. I shot it when on a whim I drove to a hilltop in Knott County and found this scene just as a thick bank of clouds met the late evening sunlight. I've been back since, but it's never worked out as well.
