Wish Republicans would wake up to this, but they treat β€œwoke” as a slur instead of a state of awareness.

This is about less oversight and weaker accountability.

Our country is run by a megalomaniac.

Flowers in the tank!

I’m always surprised when I spot the blooms in this Neoregelia bromeliad.

A large barrel cactus with 5 open flowers. They're peachy yellow with red striping.

This one looks pretty nice IMO. You can’t really see it in this picture but there is also a tube from bottom of barrel that can be used to get the water out. The spigot on the front does work but it’s more decorative.

A sprawling Euphorbia flanaganii β€˜Medusa’s Head’ growing in gravel. Its green snake-like arms radiate from the center and are dotted with small clusters of bright yellow flowers, some buds still pinkish. The plant looks a little thin, suggesting it may want more water or a new spot in the garden.

It is! I also love the shape, though I’m thinking of removing that lowest branch on right.

A desert landscape in a garden setting. In the center is a dwarf bottlebrush shrub with dozens of round red flower clusters against glossy green leaves. Behind it is a dense backdrop of silvery variegated lavender. At the bottom left sits a shaggy green mound of cousin it acacia, while the bottom right shows the dark purple-black pads of an Opuntia cactus called β€œBlack Knight.” A small patch of groundcover grevillea grows near the lower left.

OK ranks near the bottom on so many measures: education, child well-being, health, and more. It’s long past time for voters to wake up and see that the Republican status quo is failing.

Thank you! I live in a hot dry climate so it works out that I can lean into the desert landscaping. It’s been fun to make the most of the conditions instead of fighting against them.

Front yard xeriscape garden in California with Euphorbia, golden barrel cacti, agaves, Mexican grass tree, and cholla against a white stucco wall. A sun wall art decorates the wall, and a terracotta rain barrel stands by the house. Caption mentions the first rain after months of dry skies and joy at the full rain barrels.

Hello from my garden! We finally got some rain here in CA after months of dry skies. My rain barrels are full, and that makes me so happy. 🌧️🌡

I think about this all the time how the media acted so shocked when she said that in a closed meeting, called her unelectable, and blamed it for her loss. Meanwhile, Trump can PUBLICLY call people on the left β€œvermin”.

The double standard is infuriating 😑

Their propaganda is completely detached from reality, and I think it will ultimately harm the Republican Party as people see through the lies. The GOP treats its own supporters like they’re fools.

Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), John Fetterman (D-PA), and Angus King (I-ME, who caucuses with Democrats) broke with most of their party to support a GOP/Republican-backed funding bill.

We need to make sure they’re challenged in the next primary.

So true! This is a bromeliad like air plants and the leaves are quite thick and firm like a succulent.

What do republicans think the punishment should be for voter fraud? πŸ€”

I suspect death penalty if your a Democrat and a medal of freedom if you’re a Republican πŸ˜’

The GOP calling the pride flag β€œpolitical” just shows how deeply they hate LGBT people. Why people like Scott Bessent enables them is beyond me.
