staff wrote up documents for the Ukraine President that said they are agreeing to give aid money in exchange for a hit job on Trump's political opponents.

Volker also said that in text messages that that was what Trump and his staff was doing.

But, at one of her art shows in NYC (the 70s), she had an exhibit I found inspiring. You had to climb a very tall a-frame ladder and attached to the top of the ladder was a magnifying glass, which one picked up to read a tiny card on the ceiling that simply read, "yes"

I loved it. The implication of climbing high up on a ladder - which is quite intimidating to many - scaling a vertical ascent to reach something so positive was just brilliant to me.
