I’m actually very happy for James Comer and House Republicans to establish the precedent that former presidents should be hauled before congressional committees to be questioned about Epstein, pardons and other matters.

People have donated over $1 million to support TJ Sabula in the last 24 hours.

A grid of four GoFundMe-style fundraising thumbnails focuses on TJ Sabula, a man pictured in three of the images as smiling with a beard and wearing iridescent blue-green wraparound sunglasses against a sunset background. The first thumbnail, titled "TJ Sabula is a patriot!!" by Sean Williams, features a simple comic illustration of a man in a suit and has raised over $417,000. The second, "Support Ford Worker TJ Sabula during suspension" by Diandra Gourlay, shows the man's photo and has raised over $273,000. The third, "Support TJ Sabula: Fighting for Workers' Rights" by Thomas Sabula, includes a Ford logo overlay on the same photo and has raised $334,000. The final thumbnail, "Standing with TJ Sabula After Unjust Suspension" by T Sabula, uses the same photo but shows $0 raised, with each fundraiser displaying a green progress bar of varying lengths.

#Inventor Maria Beasley's genius was barrel machinery. First barrel-hooping machine patent in 1881. Final design could hoop ~1700 barrels/day. Licensed to Standard Oil & others, she was generating $20K/year in royalties ($652K in 2024) by 1912. Her inventions didn't stop there... #WomenInSTEM (1/2)
A black-and-white engraved portrait of 19th-century American inventor Maria E. Beasley. She is depicted with a serious, composed expression, looking to the left (3/4 profile style). She wears a dark Victorian dress with a high ruffled collar with decorative buttons, and a large ornate hat with flowers. Her hair is neatly styled beneath the hat.Technical patent illustration for Maria E. Beasley's "Barrel Hoop Driving Machine," patented August 2, 1881 (U.S. Patent No. 245,050). The drawing includes multiple detailed mechanical views: side elevations, sectional diagrams, top views, and close-ups of components. Visible elements include a sturdy frame, geared mechanisms, springs, adjustable pivoted levers and arms, a barrel positioned for hooping, a threaded driving rod, and a wheeled carriage setup designed to automatically and forcefully drive iron hoops onto wooden barrel staves. Labels, figure numbers, and the inventor’s signature "Maria E. Beasley" appear throughout.
