Love Jesus, love people, love where my people are. In my dreams let me be an Irish sheep farmer & cheesemonger

Extended interview: Former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has metastatic pancreatic cancer. He spoke with 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley about where America has been and where it could still go.

Genuinely cannot count how many times I have watched this today...while wearing the National Championship t-shirt that resulted two games later. #LetsGoDuke 'Tis the season 🏀🏀

This has made my morning. Thank you for a fond look back at Inis Mor and beautiful Ireland. And BRAVO for braving it! @kmkummerer

@JohnCornyn Stop it. You know perfectly well that a negotiated bill or CR is the way to handle this. Why won’t you govern?

[Melissa Kummerer @mellykumm]

@JohnCornyn Thank you.

[Melissa Kummerer @mellykumm]

Which side are you on?

Look at this thread… a string of US allies coming to defense of Ukraine after brutal Trump-Vance attack on Zelensky in the Oval Office

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at @USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it.

They did it for PEPFAR.

Now Ebola.

I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

@SenBillCassidy You have forfeited your authority to speak on this subject, given your approval for an anti-vax HHS Secretary with no medical background.

Plenty of days I pause at @silverpebble ‘s photos. Breathe in, breathe out. This is a lovely one.

[Emma Mitchell 💙 @silverpebble]

I'm staying here for now.
If you think your followers may like photos I've created that can dial down stress levels & even lift mood by just looking at them,then maybe give this a RT?
I post my photos most days,along with simple neuroscience-based tips on improving mental health.

[Melissa Kummerer @mellykumm]

Stress relief for today.

A thread addressed to my fellow conservatives who are planning to vote, or considering voting, for Trump. 1/13

@BlueDevilTalk Johnny Dawkins. He and the rest of his class, along with young Coach K, changed the Duke dynamic. They played their hearts out game after game and improved week by week. And paved the way for all the others.

@EdKrassen In a society where allergic children are bullied by deliberate exposure to their allergen (google it), mocking a life threatening illness is not funny and serves to minimize danger. You wouldn’t have a blind person forget he couldn’t see and step into traffic—no difference.

Two new @NikkiHaley donors in our house tonight.

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

🚨 Trump threatens donors for Nikki Haley. "Anybody that makes a contribution...will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp."

@KidneyCancer @MDAndersonNews Dr Tannir has been my doc for 15 years. Congrats to him and thanks for every bit of energy, wisdom, compassion, and strategy that he has poured into my care in those years.

[Melissa Kummerer @mellykumm]

@EKHyland I suppose that was supposed to sound bold and faithful. But instead he diminishes a human being, made in and reflecting the image of God. How is this the narrative of the church?

@AriMelber My allergic daughter can’t eat any other pastas; it has been a godsend. Usually only she eats it (it is expensive and not as good, for sure). But sometimes I make it for the whole fam and it is fine tasting. Health benefits are a nice plus.
