Donald Trump's Golf Spending Spree
Yesterday, Donald Trump said that the U.S. has "too many non-working holidays." Our "pro-worker president" thinks that w Donald Trump's Golf Spending Spree

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland โ€“ costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million.

After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips.

If thatโ€™s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I donโ€™t know what is.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now itโ€™ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. Thatโ€™s her legacy.

Sometimes - most of the time - it's the commonplace that brings beauty. Today, a black-capped chickadee.

This was a very good read, and so well written. Domestic terrorism is a real and growing threat, regardless of the current administrationโ€™s assessment of it. Thank you Scott Payne and @michelleshephard.bsky.social

@padilla.senate.gov: "Imagine what they are doing to a lot of folks who may not feel free to speak up... and there's not cameras there to capture how they may or may not be treated. That's the big takeaway. This should be a wake up call for everybody across the country."

Each stick has to be placed just right in the nest. There isn't much known about the breeding of the Agami Heron, but that's going to be much easier now with this amazing new rookery discovered in northern Costa Rica.

We've watched the birds collecting material and working on their nests.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders โ€” pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

I was once on an a train from to Budapest. In the middle of the night, officious men with epaulets were banging on doors demanding papers. As we pulled out of the station, I heard a passenger dragged onto the platform crying. I shortsightedly said, "I'm glad we don't live in a country like this."

What will ruin a family?
Cutting off a whaleโ€™s head with a chainsaw while your children are present. Repeatedly cheating & gaslighting your wife that she suffers a mental health crisis. Assaulting your childโ€™s 23 year old babysitter.
