Iβve been a guest at the State of the Union myself twice.
The guests are always political. And about making a statement. Some are important. Some are ridiculous. This is one of the most important ones tonight. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

What a Monday, eh?! Lar checked out early to dream about squirrels.. πβ€οΈπΏ
Didn't get the skyline right either. No surprise there. As a local unit of government, why would you be okay with this ai slop for such an important position?
It's icky.
City of #Wausau posted a job for a City Clerk on their FB today. They used AI to create the graphic and it looks like sh*t. The Mayor has had comments off for a while so you can't comment. The flag stripes, the "ballot" squiggle, our landmark building is wrong, that's not even the seal...Be better!π€¦ββοΈ
VERY thankful for the County Highway Crews in Wisconsin today! Lots of holiday travelers on the roads today. The plows are out busting drifts and fighting the wind to keep lanes clear. Be safe out there and slow down! #WIWX βοΈπ¦Ίβ€οΈ

Since today is the Marine Corps 250th Birthday and 50 years since the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, it's fitting to share a little about this Marine today.

Federal workers who took the Trump administration's buyout offer come off the payroll at the end of September. Now some are confronting fear, regret and uncertainty as they figure out what's next.
A white background with a red heart in the middle with the words Thank You underneath the heart in black cursive font.
Behind the chaos of the news cycle, thousands of federal employees are quietly off the books today, myself included. It has been an honor to serve you all as a Marine, a veteran, and a federal employee.
To my fellow departing feds, thank you for your service.
To those who remain, we see you. β€οΈ

A friend and I went to see Anne Hathaway in a production of Grounded in NYC about a decade ago. She was fantastic in it. I'm glad stories are being shared and performed in a well thought out way.
Heard Andrea Assaf's interview on @wdet.bsky.social this week about her new play coming to Detroit soon. Really caught my attention as a veteran interested in moral injury and the arts.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that thatβs the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."
Hi Katie!!! Done and Done! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
My Providers are amazing and my care has remained consistent under this administration. But the staff are exhausted.
It feels like a reverse appointment. I want to tell them they're important and they matter and we need them at VA. Because we do. So if you work at VA, thank you. β€οΈ
This is a fair and reasonable request from a member of Congress. We should see more messages like this from Reps from both parties.
Vets need and deserve clarity, bi-partisanship and transparency around VAβ-now more than ever.
That Guardian piece spread online today a few hours before my VA appointment. Seeing this quote on the wall right inside the main door of my clinic sat differently with me. No veteran coming to VA should ever wonder about access to care when they walk through these doors. Ever.

Kathleen Spangler, a 29-year-old U.S. Marine Corps officer, only vaguely remembered buying a few tickets in an online raffle back in December. Six months later, she got a text from a friend asking, βBy chance, did you win a cottage in Ireland?β nyti.ms/4ebfpZe
