Day 8 of my current walking streak, and I actually said to my husband on our lunch call that I was looking forward to walking this afternoon. 👀
Today's walk was slow and every step was heavy. But I maintain my streak for another day. 🎉

I am once again asking for everyone to coordinate their mowing day so we can enjoy open windows and fresh air the other six days of the week.
A girl can dream, right?
I need to know who approved the Chic-Fil-A raaaaaanch commercial. Cause uh, it's definitely not a pleasure.
The Suppuration of Church and State.
Found it! bsky.app/profile/ragi...
I like them both for different reasons. I would love to see the other one as Lt. Gov, but it would be great to have a woman in that role, also.
I've got great hopes for Rob! Are you leaning a particular way for the Senate primary?
Iowan here. Tell me more!
Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?
But I fully acknowledge that in this day and age, with Sex Ed being hit or miss in many conservative areas...fiction might be the only place teens are learning about consent, birth control, and protection.
I hadn't considered the opposite of "clean" YA being "dirty", so thanks for this thread!
My teen daughters generally choose books written for a younger audience because they don't want to read sex scenes and those are definitely becoming more prominent in the YA genre.
You are so good at this! 😍
Hearing Jim Lovell's voice this morning literally made me tear up. #artemisII
My teenager tried to explain crashing out to me as thought I didn't once watch Jessie Spano take caffeine pills.
Hi. I'm gonna remind you, once again, that you can go into the accessibility options in settings and turn on the toggle that doesn't let you post without alt text.
Has Aaron Niequist always been progressive?
All I know about the man is that he's Bill Hybel's son-in-law and used to preach at Willow Creek. But I'm starting to see his posts on my FB feed, and he's anti-Trump/empire? Not what I was expecting to find on Easter weekend...

Exactly.
But, they're cut from the same cloth! 🙄
For the second time today, I have seen someone say, "I am bias," instead of "I am biased." This is wah-lah all over again, huh?
If my choices are Pritzker and Newsom, I'll pick the billionaire over the transphobe any day of the week.
Proud to be an AI hater tbh
I've never heard of Mark Levin, so unless you can show me a real source, I'm gonna have to take Trump's word for it.
Screenshot from the White House in June 2025 saying "Trump obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities."
It must be hard being dumb. Operation Midnight Hammer was in June of 2025. Trump said Iran's nuclear capabilities were OBLITERATED nine months ago. Tulsi said the same thing yesterday, under penalty of perjury. This "war" is just WMD all over again.
If I'm understanding Patel's line of thinking here, he's asserting that the *Heritage Foundation's number* is low because Trump wants to pass the SAVE America Act over this "threat to democracy."
But he can't bring in the actual number of cases because it will contradict Trump!
"As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances...were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement."

Have you ever heard of C-SPAN? youtu.be/KK2LPa6eGBE?...
Buddy, did you miss Tulsi's hearing yesterday? Straight from her mouth — there was no threat.
I thought Trump claimed they obliterated the program very recently? 👀
Facebook post from Representative Marianette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) - 3/12/26 I just voted for a Constitutional Amendment that would mandate a balanced federal budget and restore fiscal responsibility. Washington needs to be more like Iowa, where we balance our budget and ensure the government isn’t spending money it doesn’t have. 207 Democrats voted against it. For decades, Washington has spent beyond its means with no accountability, leaving future generations buried under a growing mountain of debt. I’m fighting to put a permanent check on Washington’s spending addiction, protect taxpayers, and secure a stronger future for the next generation.
Screenshot from an Iowa Public Radio article, dated 3/12/26 Headline: “Iowa faces back-to-back $1 billion budget deficits as panel reduces revenue estimates” The state of Iowa’s spending is once again expected to exceed its revenue by about $1 billion in the next fiscal year, according to the latest estimates Thursday from the Revenue Estimating Conference.
This should be a career-ending story for Marianette Miller-Meeks — she's either lying (badly!) or completely out of touch with what's happening in her state.
