You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The Fear Factor The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

"I am a medium-sized, strikingly colourful waterfowl native to East Asia. The male (drake) is particularly distinctive, sporting a red bill, large white eye-crescents, and a dramatic set of 'sails' (upright feathers) on its back. I am often kept in ornamental collections and zoos around the world. What bird am I?" 2.5 Flash (Edited) 📷: Photo by darrenquigley32 https://pixabay.com/users/darrenquigley32-3157383/

You know SS Miller called peaceful protesters “street terrorists” yesterday.

I urge you to join the #NoKings protest Oct. 18th.

There are more of us than them.

Let’s stand together against this madness!

We must‼️

Today is my daughter Jessica Carter Altman's birthday.
So many chapters of her life come to mind as I look back through the years. One thing has never changed — she has always been a kind, loving person with a rare and precious gift: a generosity of spirit.

A detailed close-up photograph captures a small bird perched beside a tree trunk, showcasing its intricate plumage and observant gaze in a natural habitat. The composition is focused tightly on the bird, which is positioned in the right third of the frame, peering out from behind the tree trunk. The bird's head and upper body are visible, with the tree trunk on its right side serving as a vertical framing element.

Coming out from behind the tree just to wish you all a good morning.

One Obvious, Underused Child-Care Solution Pay grandparents.

Where the grandparents are willing: Would you pay them for child care? Marina Lopes makes a persuasive case for doing just that: www.theatlantic.com/family/2025/...
