I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

Wait, isn't it women and children first? They're just being gallant.

With all due respect, Congresswoman, I think we should stop always phrasing accusations as questions. It's soft. Simply put, we should not believe a word he says about the government shutdown.

British Petroleum was allowed to come here and drill without the safety standards that Europeans take for granted. I remember a Norwegian saying "It couldn't have happened here."

15 years. Is BOEM just a rebrand of the old, failed Minerals Management Service which granted that disastrous BP permit?

Look at her. She's a baby.

They're scared of violent criminals. Duh.

Who is wearing the MTG mask?

I was in Oregon a month ago. I guess I just missed it.

From Substack to THAT? I'm reeling.

There is no link to the decision as there should be and as was always true in the past. It couldn't be easier but lazy, dumbed down reporting is now the norm.

I never see a lawyer step up on social media saying I looked at this and here's why it's right or wrong. You know, substance.

Here's another Trump trumps Biden story for Fox's viewing pleasure. There is no context, no information about the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (note "Act", it's a law) or analysis of this question: Does an Executive Order override President Biden's powers under that law?

He could stay but his ass will be out of there and back HERE the minute the check is in hand.

I remember being pissed off because he didn't seem desperate to me at all. He simply said he didn't know what it was, the media said ok then and his people didn't know what the hell it was anyway and didn't care. There were obvious ways to link him to it and hammer him with it but no.

No way they'd put hands up to actual violent criminals. This has been going on long enough for us to see that pattern.

Aren't things just, I don't know, nicer for him in South Africa?

Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message "Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

Before she passed, Jane Goodall was interviewed as recently as last week, and her message was clear, consistent, and timely: "Humans are not exempt from extinction."

I agree. They are stuck on that singular message. Don't they do their own polling? Wasn't it their own guy who coined "It's the economy, stupid"? Geez.

I'll also plead for plain language. Bernie has used "oligarch" forever and he owns it. But that shouldn't be everyone's style.

Dogs and drones: how scientists are saving Washington’s endangered orcas Experts are finding new and more humane ways to protect the last 74 southern resident killer whales

A lot of my work focuses on protecting and restoring habitat for salmon and other aquatic species. That benefits the broader ecosystem including orcas. But I don't work directly with them. This is a really interesting article about the efforts to understand and save the orcas in Puget Sound. 🌎

Happy Birthday Yosemite National Park.
Too bad no one can visit on your birthday thanks to the Republican shutdown.

He has been asked by no one ever.

So- where are all of the gang arrests? The press conferences announcing that the billions allocated to ICE have resulted in the dismantling of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua? All I see are Uber Eats drivers being harassed and women being pushed to the ground

How did McConnell get whatever tf he wanted, even in the minority? Come on.

How about she files a lawsuit for her position. I cannot believe only the Speaker has authority to swear her in. C'mon hit back, quit whining that they are SOOOOO UNFAIR!!!

Thanks for laser focusing on the gossip again.

No surprise because the older he gets, the more he looks like Pepe the Frog.
