Good News! The National Weather Service is hiring again, after DOGE’s β€œbrilliant” decision to lay off essential staff. Apparently, round-the-clock weather alerts don’t send themselves. Who would’ve guessed?

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

The same kind of hate they claim to be β€œfighting against” at Harvard and Columbia. But sure, let’s import our own antisemitic immigrants.

Haha πŸ˜‚ Trump holds up images from a conflict in the Congo to justify importing white South Africans, claiming there’s β€œgenocide.” Never mind that the photos aren’t even from South Africa and some of these migrants are openly posting antisemitic content online.

Yes yes yes!!! Years ago, I wrote to our rep asking her to advocate for less packaging & better recycling options! I received a lovely note in return asking for a donation. But nothing about the topic.

The Trump administration is rushing to bring the first group of white South Africans classified as refugees to the U.S. early next week. Meanwhile, they’re trying to deport other refugees already here. Make it make sense. Oh wait, Elon’s homeland. Got it.

I've visited Saint-Malo several times and walked the ramparts! It is so cool! To think that this is the place from Jacques Cartier sailed! I love how Quebec City looks so much like Saint Malo!

I've had the honor to visit several of the D-Day beaches over the years! So moving and awe inspiring.

Trump said in an interview today that he wasn’t sure if everyone on American soil is entitled to due process, despite clear constitutional guarantees.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

A federal judge has permanently barred the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans it labeled as criminals from his home district in southern Texas to a prison in El Salvador. The decision was issued by Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., a Trump appointee.
