washingtonpost Crews demolish part of White House to build Trump's ballroom

I’m sorry, but this just shouldn’t be allowed. Do you know how many people can’t renovate their homes because they are in a historical area? What possibly could be more historic than the White House? Where’s the historic preservation commission on this project? 🔄

Dan Rather tells it like it is

A white woman poses in front of a mirror in yellow pants and a partially finished handknit sweater. The sweater is striped brown alternating with lightly variegated yarns and currently only has one sleeve

One sleeve down, one to go. This is the #ScornedSweater currently in testing for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social

Feeling the fall vibes with my @sewhappyjane.bsky.social Delightful DK yarn 🧶

A 2024 study published in JAMA involving 2.4 million children in Sweden, used sibling-control analysis. When comparing siblings—one exposed to #acetaminophen in utero & one not—the researchers found NO increased risk of #autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

10 mins here and 10 mins there! I have 3 kids and a full time job so I wish it was more too but working on capturing the moments I have to remind myself to be grateful for them!!

Nothing screams “small government, free speech warrior” like the FCC chair rocking state-mandated jewelry of a convicted felon.

Brendan Carr went from pretending to guard the First Amendment to cosplaying as Trump’s mall cop.

Why fall knitting is my favorite: I can knit in front of the fire in the morning & then outdoor in the sunshine during the afternoon 🍁 🔥 🧶

Working on a test for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social What can I say - her patterns are too good to pass up! #ScornedSweater #knitsky @sewhappyjane.bsky.social

Xi, Putin, Modi signal unity at summit in China vs. U.S.-led dominance - UPI.com China's President Jinping Xi told Eurasian nations to unite against a global order led by the United States during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit.

See what a "soft war" of tariffs does to our global partners? It unites them against us and portrays the US as an enemy that must be defended against in the world order.

Xi, Putin, Modi signal unity against U.S.-led dominance.

Look on my works, ye Mighty Labors of Destruction and Creation

It is one thing, as a blue state voter, to know that your taxes are being spent elsewhere in the country. But it is quite another to worry that they will simply disappear into a sinkhole of corruption, such as that which is now being created in the WH. snyder.substack.com/p/look-on-my...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners

Opinion | The Playbook Used to ‘Prove’ Vaccines Cause Autism (Gift Article) Data can easily be manipulated to show causation that doesn’t exist.

"Every dollar spent relitigating the disproven vaccine-autism link is a dollar stolen from research that could actually help people with autism — studies on support services, educational interventions, employment programs and other factors behind autism" www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thanks!!

Thank you!

You can also use their platform without giving them a single cent, as far as payment processors go that’s pretty incredible

Thanks!

Working on my latest test knit (yes, I’m addicted to testing 🤣), this one for @samanthaguerin.bsky.social

This is the #NightlinesSweater and it’s shaping up to be gorgeous! Paused the body to do the neckline before deciding on hem length next!

They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.

Thanks!!

This is the #MoriaSweater, coming this fall. It’s a fabulous bulky sweater with lots of yummy texture and it absolutely flies off the needles. I’d consider myself an average speed knitter and I made this in one week 🥳 #knitsky

Some dudes would rather start a nuclear war than release the Epstein files or talk about their jobs report

Feel like we moved on too quickly from the fact that the Trump administration openly announce it's trying to privatize Social Security

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

Wolff: I was talking to Epstein and he went into his safe and came out with photographs...

And it was Trump with girls of an uncertain age in Epstein's house...There are two in which topless girls are sitting on Trump’s lap—and then a third in which he has a stain on the front of his pants.
