@bespacific it’s just a building. The real outrage is that this is happening while #snapbenefits are running out and #healthcare costs are skyrocketing and federal workers are #unpaid. A real leader would be laser focused on getting a deal done.

‘“The only thing that is keeping [the RSF] in this war is the overwhelming amount of military support that they’re receiving from the UAE.” A host of analysts believe Trump could do more to lean on the UAE, a monarchy to which he has many close connections.’

Citizens Addressing our Changing Climate: Bemidji derecho increases worries about local wildfires By passing the Fix Our Forests Act, senators can protect lives, livelihoods and lands by reducing wildfire risk, strengthening local economies, and ensuring science-based forest restoration.

CCL volunteer Polly Merhar shares personal reflections on the impacts of growing wildfires in a new op-ed for the Bemidji Pioneer.

She calls on Minnesota's Senators @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov to support the #FixOurForests Act.

Our 1950s rambler got a nice blanket of insulation this fall and Xcel and Centerpoint gave us a combined rebate of $4000 for it! More coming from federal tax credits. There’s still time to get the fed credit if you complete your project this year. The other rebates are ongoing.

For AI to control a PC and take actions on behalf of the user, it must first be granted access to see what’s on the screen.
