This is some corrupt shit Ivanka and Jared are trying to pull over in Albania. Support the Albanian protesters as they have helped bring global attention to this insane $1.4 billion resort Ivanka and Jared are trying to build on irreplaceable and priceless environmental wetlands.

Inside our stable, we use upside-down umbrellas to catch bird droppings. Barn swallows like to sit on their edges and gently swing with the breeze.

It's hunting season, and our farm feels like a wild turkey sanctuary. Turkeys keep the soil aerated and they add natural fertilizer.

π¨NEWSπ¨ Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill. If a companyβs product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids. You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars. You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regimeβs genocidal rampage. Donβt let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.

was on private timber company land, which put it up for sale. Larry Ellison wanted to buy it as a private lake for his billionarity, but the company instead sold it to the Tahoe Donner Land Trust. Now it has trails and free kayak use for the public!

Republicans didnβt do this in a year. They built it across decades β defunded the schools, killed the unions, bought the local news, flooded the churches with politics, and waited. By the time the water was boiling, the frog had learned to call it a hot tub.

In 1985 they were telling you and in 2026 people are still telling you. Nothing ever seems to changes and what a tragedy it is. Everybody wants to rule the world The lines between evil and good have never been more blurred.

Here's a crochet pattern for a warm winter MELT ICE hat. This style of hat was used by Norwegians in the 1940s as a form of visual protest. Pattern purchase price goes to help immigrants. (There is a knit version, too).

America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE. - No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants. - No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID. - And real accountability for murder and assault.
