"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.
Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in non-farm payrolls since January 2025 through September 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 998,000 jobs with consistent growth throughout the period, while the rest of the economy lost 222,000 jobs, meaning all net job creation came from healthcare. The rest of the economy showed particular weakness from May through August 2025 when losses reached 218,000 jobs. This striking divergence reveals an unusual concentration where one sector's growth of roughly 48,000 jobs per month has offset persistent contraction across all other industries combined.

Pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern's pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer from a frequently fatal disease into a highly treatable and preventable disease. Her research revolutionized women’s healthcare. She was born #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait of Canadian-American pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern (1915–1980), whose pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer into a preventable disease. Dr. Stern is positioned slightly at an angle, facing forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat wave off her forehead, and her gaze is directed toward the camera. She wears a dark, simple collared blouse with subtle dotted textures. The composition focuses entirely on her upper shoulders and head against a stark, light-colored, uncluttered background that provides a high-contrast framing. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her facial features. The overall mood is formal, dignified, and academic, capturing a historic visual record of an influential woman in STEM.
