Working through different fiber samples as part of Tour de Fleece! Have spun a bunch of sheep wool samples, Mohair, Camel, and even Chinchilla! Chinchilla was really hard to spin, not fun. My favorites from my samples are Rambouillet and Camel (so soft!). Spun on my Ashford Traditional.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Sen. Cory Booker was still speaking as of 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Booker’s speech around hour four focused on Elon Musk and cuts to the federal workforce, as well as concerns that the administration will slash funding for Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. (1/2)

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

“Elon and the group” - so Elon … is the equivalent of a cabinet official?
And “Elon will do the cutting” … Elon has been given the authority to do that?
HELLO APPOINTMENTS CLAUSE! These are the kinds of powers that require an appointment via a mechanism laid out in the appointments clause.

Trump on his cabinet members: "We're gonna be watching them. And Elon and the group are gonna be watching them. And if they can cut, it's better. And if they don't cut, then Elon will do the cutting."

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.
