It was always a data heist.

Asking for a friend.

But is it really refocusing or more like an intense jolt of attention soon to burn out?

Jersey girls have always known how to say “Seriously?” In a way that should stop anyone cold.

This administration and all the MAGA following which has always scoffed at expertise is about to find out in the short term and long term just how ridiculously stupid their decisions have been. Even then, their voters might not make those connections.

I always figured those two families were friends. 🤷🏼‍♀️

"We will deliver adjectives to the objective with unyielding fury."

The problem and blame doesn't just fall on Trump. But the US senators who confirmed this cabinet -- especially Pete Hegseth -- should never escape blame for the moral failure they have inflicted on the world.

Oh no! Each one individually in excruciating detail.

The “just asking questions” guys should have done the assigned reading in school.

Brother is an architect and engineer!

I had a grandfather engineer and then I married one! Lol

I know. But I prefer the one that matches the cadence.

Red sky at dawn, sailors be warned!

Beautiful shot!

I love the opportunity to appreciate the sunset rather than racing it home.

I have to admit I was indifferent to the slide rules. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I still have more books than most but not as many as make me comfortable.

I’ve always been a book buyer. I like to support authors. Often, I’d buy a book, read it, pass it on, or donate it to a book sale. Other books could be more complicated. Downsizing made it imperative. But now, thinking about a digital-only world, I wish I had every single one.

I’m really second guessing the hundreds and hundreds of books I’ve donated because they were titles I was unlikely to read again.

As a person who has endured some very incredible dental procedures and recently woke from a dead sleep to spit out my bridge, I can both sympathize and empathize with this story. So well written!

Deliberately blowing up American leadership around the world by picking fights and throwing temper tantrums. It’s unthinkable and yet it’s happening.

Such a fortunate and privileged man based on nothing he’s apparently done to deserve it. The depth and breadth of the anger is terrifying.

Hegseth is a deeply disturbed, unreasonably angry and dangerous man.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

We are living in a time of absolute, utter madness...and too many people are unwilling to acknowledge it. My latest.

Allowing unlimited money into politics guaranteed this outcome. When power and policy are for sale corruption is inevitable.
