After heart surgery, the parents of a 13-year-old girl were told that their daughter was dying, and that they should start making end-of-life decisions, including donating her organs.
Upon transferring their daughter to another hospital however, they were told that doctors at Oregon Health and Science University had installed her new heart valve upside down.
“Doctors at Seattle Children's removed the inverted valve and replaced it with a different one, properly positioned. Her heart promptly began to function correctly. She was successfully taken off cardiac bypass and no longer required ECMO.
Her condition continued to stabilize over the following days in Seattle Children's ICU. After more than a month in critical condition, she was able to return home with her parents.”
A man stumbled across a lost dog at a gas station and his heart clearly wasn’t ready to leave him behind. The dog appears to be a Great Pyrenees - a livestock guardian breed known for wandering far from home.
If you’ve ever lost a pet you know exactly how that family is feeling right now.
Hoping this one finds his way back safe. 🐾 Spread the word and let’s get him home.

There was zero “Maga agenda,” whatever that means. The use of that term, @MayorOfLA, reveals your utter distrain, disrespect, and derision of the citizens of LA. @spencerpratt’s every comment and every plan was to solve the issues that have plagued LA for years, problems you refuse to attend to. Pratt is willing to sacrifice his privacy and time to actually solve these issues. You, on the other hand have for 4 years mocked or ignored our pleas to get the mentally ill off our streets, clear the encampments, fill the potholes and shave down the sharp road ridges, etc, etc. You are showing yourself to have no honor, no respect for LA, and no sense of responsibility. It’s shameful. Utterly shameful.
Here is an animation depicting the spread of seismic waves across the globe and to the antipode from the M7.8 earthquake that struck the Philippines. The entire Earth shakes for hours after powerful events as such!
REPOST THIS PLEASE!!! California did not tell me they rejected my ballot. They also rejected my wife's ballot I have discovered. They claim it is a bad signature on both.
Go to https://t.co/Xiq8fFrqSZ and verify they accepted your ballot.
RARE GULF EARTHQUAKE: The magnitude 6.1 today near Cuba is officially the 2nd strongest on record in the Gulf. Strongest quake was a 6.4 in the Southwestern Gulf near Mexico in 1959. Considering the shaking in Florida today, the largest known quake ever in the state was a 4.4 in 1879 southeast of Gainesville!
Did you just feel an earthquake Florida??? Holy crap we just did on our ship. Literally we were on top of this earthquake just now. Everything shook. Panic definitely was in the air. Thought we lost a motor. 6.1+ magnitude reported as of now. Craziest thing ever experienced no doubt.
Folks, we're dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there's still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let's git-r-dun!
My sister lives in Los Angeles.
She's a Democrat but voted for Spencer Pratt.
I was with her when she dropped her ballot in the mail weeks ago.
We checked today and it hasn't been received back.
Are they just TOSSING ballots for Spencer Pratt?
RFK Jr. tells Theo Von about the Monsanto trial, where an EPA official was caught asking for a “gold medal” to kill a study that showed Roundup caused cancer.
The jury was so angry, they awarded the plaintiffs more money than they asked for.
It all started when a married couple of home gardeners were both diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the same time. Their Labrador retriever got it, too. The dog died.
RFK Jr. asked the jury for $1 billion.
Then he showed them the emails…
RFK JR: “We asked the jury for a billion dollars. They gave us 2.2 billion.”
“And they did that because we were able to show them documents that showed Monsanto knew of the danger and then worked with corrupt officials — a guy called Jess Rowland inside of EPA, who was the head of the pesticide division.”
“They had deliberately concealed the science, fixed the science. And now the big study that they used to prove safety has been retracted.”
THEO: “They’d found emails that it was kind of ghostwritten or something?”
RFK JR: “The head of the pesticide division — Monsanto asked him secretly, and now we have these emails — to kill a study by another agency called ATSDR.”
“And he said, ‘I can’t kill it. That’s not my agency. I can kill them in EPA, but not outside.’”
“And they said, ‘You got to do it. We can’t have this study go forward.’ And he said, ‘Okay, I’m going to do it, but if I succeed, you got to give me a gold medal.’”
THEO VON: “A gold medal in what? Just anything?”
RFK JR: “A gold medal for killing a study that showed that it caused cancer.”
THEO VON: “That’s insane! It’s at a contest level now. Things like that are so prolific that now there are awards for it. It seems baffling.”
In 1958, a divorced single mom got fired from her secretary job for being a bad typist.
21 years later, she sold her side hustle for $47.5 million.
And her teenage helper would go on to help invent MTV.
Her name was Bette Nesmith Graham.
Before she became a millionaire inventor, she was a struggling single mother in Dallas with no college degree and very few options.
She married young during WWII.
By 22, she was divorced, raising a son alone, and trying to survive on secretary jobs.
She eventually became an executive secretary at Texas Bank & Trust.
There was just one problem:
She was a terrible typist.
The bank had recently installed new IBM electric typewriters that made correcting mistakes almost impossible.
One typo could mean retyping an entire page.
Her son later remembered watching her sit at the kitchen table in “tears of panic,” terrified she’d lose her job.
But Bette had another skill.
She painted holiday window displays at the bank for extra money.
One day, while painting over a mistake on a window, she had a realization:
“An artist never erases mistakes. They paint over them.”
That night, she went home and mixed a white liquid in her kitchen blender using tempera paint.
She poured it into a nail polish bottle.
The next morning, she used it to cover typing errors.
It worked.
For five years, her boss never noticed.
Other secretaries did.
Soon, women from offices across the city were asking for bottles.
Bette started making batches at home with help from her teenage son, Michael, and his friends.
She called the product “Mistake Out.”
Then came the twist.
In 1958, she accidentally typed the name of her side business onto a company letter.
Her boss fired her immediately.
It became the best thing that ever happened to her.
She renamed the product Liquid Paper and focused on it full-time.
Orders exploded.
By the late 1960s, she was selling over a million bottles a year.
By the 1970s, 25 million bottles annually.
Then she did something even more unusual:
She built one of the most progressive workplaces in America.
Her company offered:
• child care
• continuing education
• leadership roles for women
• jobs for disabled workers
• integrated staffing
This was decades before most corporations even considered those ideas.
In 1979, with failing health, Bette sold Liquid Paper to Gillette for $47.5 million.
Six months later, she died at age 56.
Half her fortune went to women-focused charities.
The other half went to her son.
That son was Michael Nesmith.
Yes the same Michael Nesmith from The Monkees.
And with the money from Liquid Paper royalties, he funded a small experimental cable TV project called PopClips.
It featured short films set to music.
PopClips became the direct prototype for MTV.
So one woman’s “typing mistake” helped create:
• a multimillion-dollar company
• one of America’s most progressive workplaces
• and the blueprint for the modern music video era
Bette Graham proved something her old boss never understood:
The mistake wasn’t the failure.
It was the opportunity.
I actually don’t care who’s LA Mayor. I just want to hire someone who is willing to bring on an adequate number of @LAPD for a city this size; properly equip the @LAFD; pick up the trash in the streets and on the freeways; get rid of all homeless encampments and put the mentally ill people who light fires, harass us at red lights, walk onto the freeways, etc into treatment; uphold existing laws and punish the increasing crime; fill potholes and file down the tire-popping ridges in the roads and freeways; shutdown and prosecute street take-overs that block traffic and scar the intersections; and stop “losing” billions of our tax dollars on various unfinished city projects.
It’s a very low bar.
@spencerpratt was the only person in this race who planned on doing something about any of it. I’d be fine if Bass as the @MayorOfLA had been interested in doing any of that the past 4 years. I’d be fine if @nithyavraman had gone in this direction during her years in City Council. But now it seems they want us to believe that most of the people in LA just love the city as the mess that it is, and in fact want the very people who made it this way to continue on and make it even worse.
Ok. I don’t believe you at all. But, I guess we’ll all get to watch you make a mess of the Olympics and any other event (natural or planned) that occurs here. It’s remarkable that competence is in such short supply.
Her own district, which she serves on the council, didn't vote for Raman. If her own constituents wouldn't even support her, why would anyone else? Now she's magically "surging" while the rest of the field is flat? This is election fraud, plain and simple.

@GOP_is_Gutless Not a fan of the current Seattle mayor but👇
“Seattle's minimum wage for large employers first reached nearly $20 an hour on January 1, 2024, when it was set at $19.97 per hour. The rate crossed the $20 threshold for all businesses on January 1, 2025 & $21.30 on January 1, 2026”
If this doesnt piss every single one of you off, you lack a soul...
Chris Phillips used Tinder to find moms with infants, exploiting their vulnerability.
Found his target. Played out the way he wanted.
Then, he sexually assaulted a 10 week old BABY.
Caused fractured skull/wrist/ribs, brain bleed and severe genital trauma.
He received a life sentence, with a minimum demand to serve no less than 16 years if released early for good behavior.
This P.O.S. deserves an immediate D.P. This is vile.
@WallStreetApes There doesn’t appear to be a population decline in this woman’s demographic.
If people cannot afford to raise one child without welfare, they should not be incentivized to produce more.
This country is crawling with kids that have been poorly raised.
