I love this for him.

These people are willing to take these shots, often aimed at their loved ones, if they believe they’ll get something out of it. How do you look your kids in the eye after you failed to stand up for them? Disgusting cowards.

Done. Thank you Scott!

I am fortunate to live in a state represented by senators who share my values and stand up to this administration’s nominations to demand we have competent people for these important jobs. I wrote my delegation, take a moment to write yours.

Budget overhaul could cut deep in Trump country Trump has proposed big cuts to the federal budget, but any significant reductions could have an outsized impact in states that voted for him in the 2024 presidential election.

Freezing federal funding (🗣️that was written into law by Congress!!!) is disruptive and there are some very real concerns about how it would affect established programs across the board. But where are most of these recipients? Take a look! 👀 www.reuters.com/graphics/USA...

A little timeline cleanse for you. I was in Detroit last month and really enjoyed my trip - some great stuff happening there!

I get up early when I travel to go for a run, explore, and beat back the jet lag.

Below is:

1. Michigan Avenue in Corktown
2. Renaissance Center
3. Detroit Riverfront

I had this same sentiment from 2016-2021, but here we are again. I am optimistic people will wake up, especially those who sat out the election and could have made a difference. We cannot afford to be bystanders if we want to preserve democracy.

You Deserve a Great Nap (Gift Article) Experts say a midday rest is great for your health. Here’s how to get the most out of it.

I feel like my super power is the ability to nap when needed. Early in my career I worked swing shifts and had to catch sleep at odd times. Need help napping? These tips pretty good. 😴 www.nytimes.com/2023/11/23/w...

That’s what I eventually arrived to. It’s also more considerate of how people absorb information. Getting into the semantics of what’s considered “reading” isn’t worth it. Discussing literature, now that’s a better use of time and energy!

I had been on the side of reading a book is reading, audiobooks are listening, not actually “reading.” This was before realizing my oldest is dyslexic and struggled to read books, but enjoyed audiobooks. My perspective now is that it doesn’t really matter how people enjoy/consume books.

Take a moment to write your senators to take a stand on recess appointments and uphold an essential check in our federal system.

Done! Thanks for posting the link.

Dan Rather brings the fire🔥

I was thinking the same thing. Also, considering how a Rex Tillerson nomination would be considered relatively tame by today’s standards. Doesn’t mean that he would be the best fit for a cabinet office, but compared to Matt Gaetz or RFK Jr., he’s not hell bent on trying to burn it all down.
