Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen points out that Pete Hegseth couldn't be bothered to meet with her prior to the Senate confirmation hearing and that he has a responsibility to meet with both sides of the isle, not just Republicans.

Porthminster, St Ives.

I loved how the late winter sun caressed the swell of the waves as they rolled in, and the shadows from the cliffs cast across the water provided an interesting contrast. 😊

A great egret standing on one leg on a rock along the edge of a pond. The water reflects the bird and green foliage.

#Sunrise run to Charnwood Water where the lake was still partly frozen and the reflections were amazing ❄️

The most interesting lines in the Star Wars Battlefront 2 campaign are both by Iden: "the Empire exists to protect people from things like Operation: Cinder" and later "rebellions are built on hate". They're really revealing about how the existence of the Empire is internally justified

As a military sexual assault survivor, this is very triggering. Two men conspiring to call credible rape allegations nothing more than a smear campaign. They sound just like my rapist and his enablers who tried to cover it up and drum me out by convincing me it was all in my head. Despicable.

Wicker begins his questioning: "Let's get into this allegation about, um, sexual assault, inappropriate workplace behavior, alcohol abuse, and financial mismanagement ..."

Hegseth claims it's a "coordinated smear campaign orchestrated in the media against us."

Great Blue Heron Close-Up

Here is a closeup of a great blue heron (Ardea herodias) on a beach. ...

1/3

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #GreatBlueHeron

"The image depicts a stunning close-up of a great blue heron standing on a sandy shore near a body of water. The heron faces left, with its long neck curved, tucking its head close to its body, and its long pointed black and yellow beak pointed forward to the left of the frame. Its plumage is a mix of dark and light feathers, showcasing a distinctive blue-gray hue. Its head feathers are black and white with a rather dapper looking tuft of black feathers flipping up on the left side. Its left eye is a fierce yellow. The background is blurred, emphasizing the heron as the main focus of the photograph. The lighting highlights the intricate texture and details of the heron's feathers, making the image visually striking.' - Copilot with edits

My heart breaks for Eric Braeden (Victor Newman on "The Young And The Restless") who lost his family home last week in the LA Fires. He spoke out about STOPPING the spread of Misinformation & Disinformation, even though he lost EVERYTHING. Politicizing this by LYING is as DESTRUCTIVE as the fires!🙏💜

Really hackish stuff from CNN. Building a narrative out of absolutely nothing. Of course during a wildfire people would be searching about wildfires. What are we even doing here my god.
