Having solar does not necessarily mean they are not still using the land for farming. Some crops do better under the shade of the panels. Require less watering. Most panels are actually pretty high above ground level (8ft) so crops grow underneath. Or animals can graze. Agrivoltaics.

Tribal communities risk losing local libraries and the history they hold amid DOGE cuts Federally recognized tribes say the Trump administration cut the grant money they use to sustain the local libraries that serve as anchors in their most rural communities.

More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle.

Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold.

If he ever makes it back alive he should sue the crap out of Fox.

Bargain compared to what Musk paid for the White House

So next time the proud boys go marching through our streets with masks on we can call the police and report an illegal March.

Have zero tears. He wouldn’t care if a bunch of Kamala voting feds lost their jobs, he would have cheered it on. I have lost all empathy for these people who voted for a convicted felon whose clear plan was to destroy our government.

Good so Ukraine doesn’t need to acquiesce to Trump mafia shakedown.

Don’t just boycott for a week, cancel Amazon Prime! That is what we are doing and going back to supporting our local stores. Less convenient and may pay more for our dog and bunny food at the local pet store, but at this point I am willing to do it. 99% of all other crap can do without.

I thought of this scene immediately after watching that fiasco.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

How can Americans who support Ukraine help? I saw that US has backtracked on promised aid to rebuild their power grid. Can we do a direct donate to Ukraine? So glad Zelensky held his ground.

More grift and corruption

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Journalist: "If the US stops aid, could China be our backup option?"

Zelensky: "I’m used to fighting until the end. I don’t want to talk about a 'Plan B'. We need to focus on not losing the US."

Give it to Ukraine.

‘Transatlantic relations are over’ as Trump sides with Putin, says top German MP As the U.S. aligns with Russia, senior European officials wring their hands in disbelief.

Donald Trump’s verbal assault on Ukraine is a “complete failure” for the transatlantic alliance, according to a senior German lawmaker.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.

NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.

Zelensky needs to cut off Trump entirely, only negotiate thru the EU. Should not take any deal made by the US. He can't trust that they will keep their word. EU still has stronger military than Russia. They can still make a big problem for Russia without the US backing.

Thank you! Heading to Paris again in June. Can't wait!

Maybe they should check out the recent report about Louisiana’s dismal results from a decade of vouchers. Kids struggling that went private voucher route did worse than their public school peers.

Opinion | Vance’s Munich Disgrace The vice president’s speech was a monument of arrogance based on a foundation of hypocrisy.

Agreeing with Bret Stephens 100% on anything he writes … was not on my 2025 Bingo card. It should have been.

Everyone should read this, remember and get their friends to demand their Republican and Democrat representatives stop this insanity.

Hegseth is revealing that he knows nothing about our own history here. If he thinks that might beats values, then how on earth is our nation independent? By his logic, the Continental Army would have been soundly beaten by the British. What an ignorant disgrace! #DemVoice1

Elijah McCoy invented & patented steam engine lubrication systems. His inventions were so superior ppl asked if a product was "the real McCoy," a phrase still in use today. McCoy's innovations significantly improved the efficiency and safety of the railroad and shipping industries
