My terriers do this, too, and it is their favorite outdoor activity! I think they are eating grubs. Seriously! Sometimes their breath smells like worms. I still love them, though!

Less Fertilizer, Better Outcomes Every year, US farmers apply between 30 and 50 percent more synthetic nitrogen fertilizer than their crops can actually absorb, and the excess that runs off farm fields does harm to people, ecosystems, and the climate.

US corn–soybean farmers use far more nitrogen fertilizer than crops can absorb, β€―wasting them money, polluting drinking water, and producingβ€―climateβ€―emissionsβ€―comparableβ€―toβ€―as many asβ€―14β€―million gasoline-powered cars a year. Read our new report to learn more:

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

Tim Heaphy, Jack Smith, David Harbach, and Thomas Windom have spent much of their careers in public service, committed to protecting and defending the rule of law. Their new full-service firm-Heaphy, Smith, Harbach & Windom LLP (HSHW)-remains faithful to that core value. The firm's advice to clients will be guided by the same principles that have characterized the partners' government service: clear-eyed assessment of the facts and honest application of the relevant law.
That
foundation will underpin their comprehensive client service, which will include thorough investigations, zealous advocacy in litigation, and candid strategic advice and counsel, resulting in improved policy and process for clients.
"I am both privileged and excited to open the doors of our firm with my fellow partners," Smith said. "Our goal is to practice law at the highest level, and to do so consistent with our values and longstanding commitment to public service."

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

See what Anonymous has to say. Does it all make sense now?
The question is not whether any of this is legal, but whether the US Congress will stop Trump, as they have full authority & power to do.
I ask again: Why do they fail to act?
The answer is in the Epstein files

Some of your cells are not genetically yours β€” what can they tell us about life and death? A tiny population of cells that are passed across the placenta between mother and baby challenge basic tenets of human immunology.

The more you know. We are all chimeras at a very small level. You likely have cells in your body from your mother and your siblings that were born before you. How this chimerism influences your immune system is beginning to be unraveled. #Science #ScienceSunday
