Ages ago I worked as a counselor when it was Camp Zoe. It’s one of the most beautiful parts of MO and I’m so glad it’s now a park.

What an especially odd move by Hegseth. Many civilian instructors at military academies are former officers with decades of experience and research.

As a birder who had the chance to see incredible wildlife in TX refuges, I’m infuriated that one bloated man baby can just hand off our nation’s irreplaceable treasures to one of his pals. They aren’t his to destroy, and yet…

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I have full solar on my house- enough to power it, an electric car and sell the excess back to the electric company. Over the past 15 years, they are paying us less per kilowatt and adding in so many fees we no longer have credits, but have to pay the company monthly.

Know the list of vaccines everyone needs. And if you or a loved one does not have a spleen, know that some vaccines like the pneumonia vaccine need to be given much earlier to prevent devastating consequences.

At this point, insight from professionals who work with dementia patients would be useful when it comes to Trump. Handling outbursts, sundowning- none of this is being addressed while those around him act as if this was normal.

I cared for a relative with dementia who would make demeaning remarks like this. A word that works is “nevertheless”. If Trump spews insults, a good response is “Nevertheless, there is a question that must be asked”. “Nevertheless” keeps things on track.

“I was just fixing it!” The broken reflecting pool. The demolished east wing. The mounds of rubble dumped at the east Potomac golf course. Gold doodads superglued all over the walls of the White House. It reminds me so much of the “fixes” done by a family member before going into memory care.

I wonder if it is the same test every month? Draw a clock in June, identify zoo animals in July. August might be tricky. He’ll have to list all the things he has wrecked in DC in one minute. If he does a good job do they let him keep the pencil?

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years
If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

“Oh that’s gonna get 6-3ed” is the pejorative phrase at our house when we are pretty sure something is going to have a negative outcome. The question is- how many of these SCOTUS decisions will be 6-3?

Once upon a time there was a story about a man named Noah who warned about a major weather change coming and he was ignored to everyone’s peril. Today we have another NOAA whose predictions are also being ignored to everyone’s peril.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Federal agents track down Syracuse woman, demand she remove Instagram post about ICE
She believes the warning was related to a post about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.

I’m remembering the time someone was photographed tossing bulging trash bags out the window of the second floor of the White House. It was both shocking and curious. What is Trump doing that is causing the staff to skip the step of carrying the garbage downstairs?
