Did You Know? 💭

USNS Robert E. Peary is a Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship built in San Diego by our sister shipyard, NASSCO. The ship is the fourth Navy ship to be named for Maine resident and Bowdoin College graduate Rear Adm. Robert E. Peary, who was the first man to reach the North Pole.

The ship was launched Oct. 27, 2007 but the christening in the name of the arctic explorer had to be delayed because of intense California wildfires that year that burned 1,500 homes and 972,000 acres. The ship was eventually christened by Peary’s great granddaughter, a Florida judge.

BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.

Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump:

"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."

BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

#NobelPrize

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

Michelle and I send our congratulations to a fellow Chicagoan, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This is a historic day for the United States, and we will pray for him as he begins the sacred work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example for so many, regardless of faith.

Trump: "Like on tractors that can handle anything from hurricanes to lightning to anything. They use magnets. It's a new theory -- magnets. They're gonna lift the planes up. And it doesn't work."

Skating Club of Boston said you will remember their names and you will remember them correctly. Such a small gesture under tremendous tragedy to ensure their legacies.
