He summoned 800 US Generals & senior commanders from around the world to lecture on ethos, fitness, say black officers got promoted for a quota etc

“The people in that room who have served for 20, 30-plus years in uniform do not need Pete Hegseth to tell them about warrior ethos” said one veteran 🤦🏼‍♂️
Veterans react to Hegseth’s ‘insulting’ address to generals and admirals
Defense secretary’s speech touching on physical fitness and doctrine of lethality was seen as ‘egotistical’ and ‘dangerous’

Moore: I take real pride that when I look at my team, these are subject matter experts..

Trump doesn’t have that. He has sycophants who go into cabinet meetings and spend three and a half hours telling him how good he is instead of actually educating him

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

📖A pair of hares. Reading Chloe Dalton's Raising Hare in my reading nook where my hare cushion 'lives'. (My friend sewed hare cushion fr scraps collected fr factory mills in England.) Her creation is a fine beauty, just like this book. Chloe Dalton's writing is elegant. ✨👌

▪️War is failure of politicians
▪️Talking to enemies is the only way to resolve conflict
▪️Children are absorbing this, & scared, even if you think they are not.
▪️Tell them there are bad adults, who do bad things.
▪️But there are far more good people, who do good.
▪️Tell them they are safe & listen.

A gentle rain came down much of the day. It felt quintessentially Mayland spring. Yet it also brought happy memories of time spent in England & Ireland. Writing of Ireland, our cat has claimed the "Ireland chair" & we're convinced she loves story time as much as we do! #storytime #cats #rain
