Very excited for my stepmom and this awesome achievement. She was the NASA project manager for the toilte on Artemis II. This was the first toiltet to ever go to the moon, and the crew was very complementary. Congratulations Melissa McKinley ! www.space.com/space-explor...

If they don't care when 6 year old children are shot and killed point blank, why would you expect them to care about the mother of a 6 year old. #uvalde #sandyhook #minnesota #reneegood

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

In "news you can't make up"...a republican staff member just asked, via meeting chat, if financial assistance was available in the event of a government shutdown. 🤣🤷‍♀️

So fed up with #texas Republicans, accusing Democrats breaking quorum of not caring about flood victims. If Republicans cared, it would be first on the agenda. The hypocrisy is astounding, but it shouldn't be at this point.

Non-feds really don't understand the level of scrutiny that exists for sensitive information. Every fed and contractor takes training on document controls - unclassified, classified, secret, top secret, etc. #signalgate is a major concern.

First "All Hands" meeting since the transition. It doesn't bode well for transparency when the first thing they say is to not talk about the meeting to anyone. Meeting was recorded, though. You know, in case someone would like to FOIA it. 🤫

I stopped on my walk to tell a postman, "Thank you!" and you should have seen his reaction! He looked at me and said it's been so stressful and that he and his wife quit buying non-essential things. He is so worried about everything. So check in on your postmen.
