Same as it’s always been. 2000 years and all of our technology has nothing on mob mentality.

@vanhollen.senate.gov has my consideration should he appear on my 2028 primary ballot.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I used the same defense during my big hot tub scandal in 2009. Didn’t work then and it isn’t working today.

Here’s your liberal media again:
The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.

So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

If one of my local theaters did this I’d be doing the same as the wonderful people of Baltimore.
The largest professional theater in Baltimore, Maryland, has decided to decline/return federal funding so that it can continue to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in its work. And guess what? The community has rallied to support the theater!! www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...

To whoever is sitting next to me on my next flight: Give ‘Airport Theory’ a try. It will make my travel experience so much nicer!

In undergrad I worked on the ICECUBE project and my mind immediately thought “of course there’s no fish in the ice under the South Pole” 😂

I wonder if DOGE is ever going to take a look at the secret service and lay off most of that staff…

YES! Audiobooks are reading. As long as you comprehend the information in a book, regardless of the medium, you read it.

In the 4th grade, my eyes scanned every word of Dracula. But I didn’t read it.

Regular reminder.

Audiobooks count as reading. A hill I would always die on 🤘

Need to get this cross stitch 🤣

Last night my fiance and I saw the Minnesota Operas premiere of “The Snowy Day.” It was cute, fun, and cool to see this art form extended to something as unique as this classic children’s book.
