Soon after her officer training in Washington, she was recruited to a classified code-breaking team. She kept her work secret for decades, even from her family.

Their kids died at Sandy Hook. Their tip line prevents school shootings.

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!

This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years. 🧪🔭

✨To all my star gazers✨

From now through Friday, the planet Venus will be visible in both the morning and evening skies above the Northern Hemisphere.

This happens a few days before the planet passes between the Earth and the sun and it won’t happen again until 2033.

The Commerce Secretary is promoting a company’s stock on live TV, and not just any company’s - the company owned by a ‘special government employee’ and the president’s biggest donor.

The corruption is the point.
On Jesse Watters’ show, Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, tells viewers they should buy Tesla stock.

“I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It’s unbelievable that this guy’s stock is this cheap. It’ll never be this cheap again.”

The Defense Department just got caught removing all references to racial discrimination, the Holocaust, sexual assault, the LGBTQ+ community, and suicide prevention from its webpages. These topics don’t even qualify as “DEI”; instead, Trump wants to roll back civil rights and civil liberties.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

This country is unrecognizable.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that DOGE is subject to government transparency laws, allowing the public to access government records—a legal defeat for the White House, which had designated DOGE as an office exempt from open records laws.

Reading Powers and Thrones and Medieval history and it’s wild how crusades went from Christians getting their butt kicked in the levant to calling everything a crusade to justify power grabs.

Funny how words used to justify violence become devoid of all meaning historically and today.
