Is she angling for Speaker? If she will release those damn files she’d be better than the current weasel.

Don’t forget the dewormer. That counts too.

Sark may keep his job. Hook ‘em!

I’m heartbroken too. This one is the toughest yet for me. I loved her so much. 😢

Trump ignores his Health guy. We should all do likewise.

My husband just promised me that Texas is going to beat OU. Do I believe him??? I’m not watching because it makes me sick.

It proves how little he cares about any Americans. He really doesn’t care at all, not one iota, about anyone but himself.

Interesting. My sister as well.

Living in Tennessee is hopeless, so I confess to looking north to our neighbor. Kentucky has a decent governor at least. And Mitch is leaving the senate after doing irreparable damage to our country so there’s a glimmer of hope.

@wakandangriot.bsky.social Thanks for respectfully educating me about Amy McGrath. I’m embarrassed but appreciate how you let me know the truth. I wish more people could approach others that way. Anyway, thanks! After thinking it over today, I deleted my post

I’m a UT grad and honestly don’t get the hype other than his last name.

I’m a huge Bad Bunny fan. Now I’m going to listen to his music.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Oh noooooo….Diane Keaton has died. 😭 😭 😭

Librarian Leigh @utexleigh3.bsky.social · 1d

This is very true.

Librarian Leigh @utexleigh3.bsky.social · 1d

I’m actually glad you informed me about this. I really do value truth and facts. But I’m also quick to jump to conclusions lately. I need to do better.

Great. He’s in exceptional health.

I may delete my post about her. I see she said she would have supported Kavanaugh for SC. Walking a middle line in states like Kentucky is tough.

Wow. I never saw that side of her. Was I not paying attention?

Librarian Leigh @utexleigh3.bsky.social · 2d

I can see that. 💙

The United States of America needs to find our own Maria Corina Machado and we need to do it post haste.

Maria Corina Machado is the anti-trump and winner of the Nobel Peace Price. Congrats to a true winner!

Yes, it is.
