A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

It’s definitely spring! The snow is melting, the skunks are out, and the Sandhills are cruising the pastures.

They also tased and tackled him for no reason. He said "Sorry" and couldn't speak English. He was holding 2 shower curtain rods as walking sticks.

He spent 15 months in jail only to be released to die alone in the cold.

You should be livid after reading this.

They killed him bc they could.

Line graph of the number of NIH projects funded by NIH in fiscal year 2026 through February 20, compared to fiscal years 2020-2025. The fiscal year 2026 is following the curve for fiscal year 2025 but offset due to the government shutdown that occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does — he lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted. He offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges, so many of which he is actively making worse."

Rep. Al Green was removed from the House chamber on Tuesday during President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.

Green, a Democrat who represents Texas, was kicked out for holding a sign that read "Black People Aren't Apes" as Trump entered the chamber ahead of his speech.

When I was a little girl, I was horrified at the sight of my neighbors leg braces. I remember the announcement with relief that Dr. Jonas Salk had developed a vaccine that would protect us from this crippling deadly disease. Fast forward to today. It's really beyond belief.

I have no idea who this wanker is or was. Probably thinks he’s famous. I don’t know where they learn this shit.

I spent one year in Schank’s group at Northwestern University. I was research faculty (fancy post-doc), so went to faculty meetings. And this is how Schank always talked. He was misogynistic and racist. I wasn’t surprised to learn he was a friend of Epstein.

I planted the costoluto and principe tomato seedlings this morning 🌱. Hope for just the right amount of rain in April and May. July and August will be unbearable.
