Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school, she built hospitals and bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert once met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

Пам’ять – це не порушення. Зустрівся з українським скелетоністом, членом національної олімпійської збірної команди України Владиславом Гераскевичем і його батьком, тренером збірної України зі скелетону Михайлом Гераскевичем. Вручив Владиславу орден Свободи. В України будуть і чемпіони, і олімпійці. Та головне, що є в України, – українці. Ті, для кого важлива правда та памʼять про спортсменів і спортсменок, яких убила Росія і які більше ніколи не зможуть взяти участь у спортивних змаганнях через російську агресію. Дякую за вашу позицію, силу та сміливість. Слава Україні!

In case you’re wondering how I rated this morning’s lesson. That I developed. And presented.

Opened a drawer and found proof that the $30 desk I bought at Habitat ReStore is indeed midcentury modern 🤣

I am not joking when I say there is a diffuse cloud of glitter in the air throughout the place, and I am somehow sparkly merely from walking through the concourse.

Day 2 of the NATO Foreign Ministerial started with some hard-hitting questions – today, @SecRubio spoke to intrepid young journalists from The Youth News Foundation and reaffirmed the U.S.'s commitment to NATO and shared how increased defense spending will help the Alliance tackle today’s threats and prepare for tomorrow. #StrongerTogether #NATO

I have been incredibly moved by the depth of shared sorrow that the Lithuanian people have expressed over the last week. True partners, Allies, and friends.
Today, Lithuania paid homage to our fallen with a solemn and dignified farewell. In the heart of Vilnius, leaders, Allies, and many supporters gathered in remembrance, honoring the four U.S. Soldiers who are finally returning to their families. In this time of profound sorrow, we are reminded of the indomitable bond between our nations. The compassion, respect, and unwavering support demonstrated by Lithuania and all who stood with us will echo for years to come. To our Allies, fellow service members, and everyone who contributed to bringing them home—our deepest gratitude.

Only when all Allies invest in their own security at the right level can we truly secure peace for the entire NATO Alliance. Peace does not come for free. #StrongerTogether
