I spend time with family, read, run, and garden. My frame of reference is the future of humanity; we must do better. Listen to nice people.

A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it โ€” NBC News The outbreak linked to romaine lettuce killed one person and sickened at least 88 more, including a 9-year-old boy who nearly died of kidney failure.

Apparently, the less we know, the less bad the new administration looks to be.

This nation was so fortunate to have survived the national security crisis former President Obama almost caused with that tan suit he wore while in the White House. With these folks at the helm anything goes. ๐Ÿค”

Trump's push to work with Russia is upending U.S. cyber strategy Everything the cybersecurity industry knows is open to question under Trump 2.0 โ€” including who our adversaries are.

Our democracy has been hacked.

Former Social Security Commissioner Says DOGE Cuts Could Interrupt Benefit Payments Donald Trump's purge of the federal workforce could cause a system failure at the Social Security Administration, the agency's former leader warned.

I am guessing the administration doesnโ€™t have a contingency plan and does not care if this were to happen. ๐Ÿค”

Ukraine was ambushed again. Russia attacked Ukraine and started the war. Those are the facts. Disgusting display from the occupant of the Oval Office. ๐Ÿค”

I believe the late Queen served during World War II and was promoted to Junior Commander. She would received the President just as gracefully. I guess bone spurs were less common back then and apparently once afflicted impair future judgement. ๐Ÿค”

The aim of the Fellowship of Oligarchs is to privatize everything and reduce governmentโ€™s role to mainly national defense and holding elections; thatโ€™s it. Donโ€™t expect any services or alleged savings.

Iโ€™ve been comparing Manchester United to the main character in the movie comedy, โ€œWeekend At Bernieโ€™sโ€ this season. Their fans have suffered much, hope springs eternal; the season will soon be over. ๐Ÿค”

Odd it took sitting on a sofa to get him excited. Meanwhile, Rubio sat there with a facial expression youโ€™d expect to see on the face of an eye witness to a hideous crime.

Iโ€™ve always thought the focus was always wrong when it came to competition. People should compete fiercely to make the world better, compete to make someone or a situation less sad, less hungry. The focus should be on competing to improve the things that really matter in peopleโ€™s lives. ๐Ÿค”

We would be so lucky, but the big difference between that very fortunate plane, its passengers and crew and America is that the pilots were NOT intentionally trying to crash the plane. Itโ€™s clear that the new administration is intentionally trying to crash land the federal government. ๐Ÿค”

I wonder where these adds will run (๐ŸฆŠ ๐Ÿ“บ) and what marketing firms will develop them and if any of these adds use real actors or simply use images of detained individuals? Who is most deserving of $200 million of taxpayer dollars? ๐Ÿค”
