White House in TOTAL TAILSPIN After Trump’s BIZARRE New Pick
Trump continues his crusade of nominating incompetent sycophants to key positions that impact all Americans.
His pick for the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, E.J. Antoni, is “utterly unqualified” but kissing Trump’s derriere is the only requirement these days.

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

🌍 Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)
The Eurasian Blue Tit is a small, colourful bird with a blue cap, wings, and tail, a white face with a dark eye-stripe, and a yellowish belly. They are widespread across Europe and parts of western Asia, inhabiting woodlands, parks, and gardens. Blue Tits are highly active and agile foragers, often seen clinging upside down on branches to find insects. They are non-migratory and frequently visit bird feeders, especially during winter. They typically nest in tree holes or nest boxes. 2.5 Flash (Edited)
Nine subspecies are recognised.
Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including:
-42 consumer protection cases at CFPB

A calm moment: a brown and white juvenile hawk perched on a dead twig above green vegetation and purple flowers
©️DTL 2025
A juvenile red-shouldered hawk who took a few wildly unsuccessful swoops at some young green herons. Then it dive-bombed some juvie great egrets, all which led to much squawking and no one getting anything to eat 🪶

Putin has arrived in Alaska, and there he is 100% being welcomed as an important guest. A dictator who started the biggest war since the end of World War II, who killed and tortured hundreds of thousands of people, who abducted tens of thousands of children, is still being received as a guest.
