Congress approved the 19th Amendment and sent it to the states to ratify on this day in 1919. Whenever a new state voted in favor, the National Woman’s Party (NWP) sewed a star on this giant flag. 🧵

The klipspringer calf has started exploring! Klipspringers are small antelope that grow to be about two feet tall at the shoulder. They are most active in the morning and late afternoon, snacking on leaves, fruit, or browse here at the Zoo, before the heat of the day sets in.

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

@HellgateOsprey I know it's not done, but I'm at the point where if I were Iris, I'd take my next break and go fishing for myself.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the liturgy, we are invited to participate — body, mind, and heart — and enter into a dimension inhabited by the Holy Spirit. In order to enter into this dimension, the liturgy is woven with signs and symbols that have a performative and transformative dimension. #GeneralAudience

[Variety @Variety]

Scott Pelley fired back with a statement of his own after Nick Bilton announced that CBS News had fired the “60 Minutes” veteran:

"New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them."

"Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
