This morning, warriors and families united for a Spiritual Fitness Prayer Gathering, welcoming Acting Secretary of the Navy, The Honorable Hung Cao, as guest speaker. Attendees of all faiths prayed together for our nation, partners, allies, and our Service Members and Families. Secretary Cao shared how through his personal faith, he forged an unbreakable ‘Will-to-Win’ on missions and in life.
Spent time with the Utah National Guard and visited Dugway Proving Ground to see how we’re strengthening the Army’s testing infrastructure and expanding opportunities for industry to move new capabilities to Soldiers faster. Speed matters, and we’re building the partnerships that will keep the Army ready for what’s next. 🇺🇸
Steak ‘n Shake is not only waiving franchise fees for Veterans – it’s partnering with VA to expand outreach to Veterans so they can get the care and benefits they’ve earned!
Established in 1993 with 13 partnerships, the State Partnership Program has grown to include 116 nations, strengthening security cooperation through enduring relationships with partner nations around the world.
🚨 AWESOME! At 4AM President Trump STEPPED OFF Air Force One, returning to the White House from Mount Rushmore
And his America 250 schedule starts at 8AM! 🤯
80 years old and a machine!
HAPPY 250, AMERICA 🇺🇸
The looming depression people are feeling right now is not clinical.
It's situational.
It's the direct result of constant financial stress with no visible exit.
Driving with the gas light on.
Giving up health insurance to free up cash.
Choosing between bills every month.
Skipping the doctor. Rationing groceries.
The human nervous system was not designed to live in permanent financial crisis.
And millions of Americans are living in exactly that.
Every single day.
By David Abbruzzes:
This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
Thank you to everyone who sent us name ideas for this brave kitten! We decided to go with a suggestion we thought was especially fitting.
Without further ado, meet... ✨ Felix! ✨
The name Felix means "happy" and "fortunate," and we think that suits him perfectly! Because of supporters like you, we could provide Felix with expert medical care when he needed it most. As you can see, his upper respiratory infection has been cleared, he's gained healthy weight, and he's growing into a gorgeous and sleek young cat.
We hope you'll wish even more good fortune for Felix! And to help us protect more kittens like him, please consider a gift today at https://t.co/vlXUwprlLu. 💙
Meal prepping for my mom before I leave KC tomorrow - and for the first time in my entire 47 years on earth, every single hard boiled egg in the dozen I made peeled perfectly without any of the egg white tearing.
Now THAT is worth celebrating. Happy weekend, all! 🩷
