Hegseth just ordered a military-wide voting stand-down by Oct 15. But 18 U.S.C. § 592 makes it a felony, five years and a lifetime ban from federal office, for any officer to order, bring, or keep troops at a polling place. 10248163

Diane Maxwell @dmaxwell03.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Has the definition of “sort of” changed since I retired? When I worked in communications, it meant “not exactly.” Now I hear “sort of” used in WAY too many sentences (is it the new “Um”?). Why is “sort of” being used when the meaning clearly being conveyed is “precisely” or “exactly”? 120
