ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.
Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/s4Sj24q

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

At least 61 people have now been killed by Trump/Hegseth's military blowing up vessels in the Caribbean Sea & the Pacific.

A tight portrait of a hand-held northern saw-whet owl. Only the bird’s head is in focus. It is looking to the left with wide yellow-orange eyes.
LIFER!!! This weekend I lived out a longtime dream, of seeing a northern saw-whet owl and thus knocking the number 1 white whale from my life list – by attending two banding sessions in central Saskatchewan. I saw six owls, and got to hold two (one even pooped on me – blessed!) #birds #LiferPie

Black bird with red eye sitting with its back towards the camera, looking to the right. It’s in a tree with very thin green branches and tiny leaves that look like dots against a foggy sky.

Painted at the very beginning of the 20thC, this work is among Klimt’s most abstract of paintings. Depicting the waters of the Attersee (Atter Lake) in Austria, it marks a key moment in his career, as he pioneered a new and distinctive approach to landscape painting.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

What makes this even funnier. Hegseth is using a supinated grip (palms toward him). The biceps are working harder and assisting the back muscles.
She is using a pronated grip (palms facing away) which puts more load on lats and forearms, less biceps.
The latter is harder to do than the former.

I think of hummingbirds as tropical, or at least warmer weather birds...so this Rufous hummer at the top of Steens Mountain.9500 feet above sea level and next to a snowbank was a bit jarring. #birding

Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
