Austin Spare was something of an enfant terrible on the Edwardian art scene, hailed as the next Aubrey Beardsley. At the time (1938) he discovered this burglar ransacking his flat, he was living in a studio above the Elephant and Castle branch of Woolworth's.

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.
We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

Freedom Caucus is a little over 20% of House GOP.
It will be:
-38% of Oversight Committee
-44% of Judiciary
-44% of select covid panel
-50% of panel on "weaponization" of gov't
And that doesn't include Rules, where 2 HFC members + Massie loom large.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.
It’s time to scrap the cap.

Kevin McCarthy booted Adam Schiff off the House Intelligence Committee because he “lied to the American public.” Hold up. Remember when McCarthy did exactly that? 🤔

Where is her party? Where is her husband - the party’s leader in the Senate? McCarthy? Stefancik? Rick Scott? Ted Cruz?None of them should be allowed to appear before a camera without being questioned insistently by the media on this. Silence = complicity.

NEW: It is shocking that a 6-year-old child intentionally shot his teacher—and weeks later we still lack key answers about how it could have happened. My latest examines what this gut-wrenching case really means for school safety, gun laws, and prevention

Additional reporting just out from NYTimes: "School leaders were warned three times that the boy might have a gun, a lawyer for the teacher said on Wednesday, including by a student who tearfully recounted seeing the gun at recess."
Really disturbing. nytimes.com/2023/01/25/us/ 4/x

In 1972, a crack commando was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn’t commit. This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the govt, he survives as a soldier of fortune and member of Congress.
