Remember how Sarah Fitzpatrick said the first story resulted in a flood of new sources wanting to talk about Kash's drinking?

I was so excited when I finally found a green heron that wasn’t completely motionless. Imagine my ecstasy when he took off and I got a clear image in flight! Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, SC. For the #LowFlying theme of #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #herons

Yeah, Fox News' foreign correspondent just so randomly happened to be in Portsmouth to witness this FBI raid on the Virginia Democrat who just spearheaded the state's successful redistricting effort.

Radio stations still the second-most used source of local news. radioink.com/2026/05/06/radio...

Another Ruffed Grouse from this past week. This one is probably a female based on size and lack of prominent ruff feathers. #wildlife #Alberta #birding #birds 🪶

It's called Vitamin K specifically because its Danish discoverer, Henrik Dam, named it "Koagulationsvitamin" and won the 1943 Nobel Prize in chemistry for identifying its role in coagulating blood. Literally what it does, what it's for. Produced in the body. To coagulate blood.

Surprise! The GOP's budget package funding ICE + Trump's ballroom adds nearly $72 billion to the deficit, says CBO. And if you tack on interest, the price tags jumps to nearly $94 billion, says a nonpartisan watchdog group. www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-ba...

yeah dawg when you have to start arresting people because they are better at posting than you, you are cooked

Just remember, they are trying to ban gender affirming care supposedly in the name of protecting minors from harm

NEW: Texas lawmakers rejected over five dozen bills that could have protected residents from last summer’s deadly floods. “We need to resist this narrative that this disaster was unpreventable,” an environmental studies director said.

This is really out of hand and beyond unacceptable. Sorry, I don’t have a way to make the article free.

We're wrecking the planet so people can steal others' artistic work?

I dont know, I would attend a vigil for an epa employee. Nice to know I’ll be investigated if I attend.

Go get get lost on your bicycle for a couple of hours. Those three hours exploring new places will be the best five hours of your day.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

Kushner and Witkoff have everything covered. Keep things in the family.

Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

He's set the deal up so that he makes money off it. Any merchandise the air port plans on selling with the name on it has to be purchased through one of the felon's companies.

UPDATE: 1. Now Trump's ballroom costs 1 billion dollars. 2. The senate is making the American people pay for. 3. And they don't even need a 60 vote threshold to do it. This is the epitome of government bloat. In fact, it's the epitome of Waste. Fraud. & Abuse.

“In the first four months of 2026, 18 people have died in ICE custody. Since ICE stopped medical reimbursements on Oct. 3, 2025, people have been dying in ICE custody at a rate of 51.7 people annually. This is more than five times the death rate before the policy was implemented.” #AbuseofPowerWatch

Is this what the ballroom bunker is for?

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

Is AI slop really worth it?

"The first phase of the project is expected to require 3 gigawatts of power. Utah as a whole uses about 4 gigawatts. At full buildout, the Stratos campus is expected to use 9 gigawatts, according to MIDA."

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

“GRU, the Russian Intelligence Agency behind the disinformation [before the 2016 Presidential election], was apparently more surprised than most Americans were when Trump won. The Russians hadn’t yet grasped how gullible US citizens were nor how lax American Intelligence was.”— @caroloff.bsky.social

and they're loud

*Republicans* did this.

Bodnar is saying he won't do the job. Committee assignments, staff budgets, office space, everything, comes via caucus. Won't choose? No committee assignments. No caucus meetings. No influence. Can't negotiate for public lands, wildfire support, ag policy, etc. Why vote for that?

The Trump administration is evicting bison herds from federal grasslands in Montana, siding with ranchers and Republican leaders over environmentalists and tribal leaders. #mtpol

www.mtpr.org/montana-news... He won't commit to caucusing with either party. He won't condemn ICE. He says there's a better way to do healthcare, but doesn't say what it is. He thinks he can work with both parties. He has no track record but assures you he's a great guy. Just say no to Bodnar #mtpol

Every year I defend the Met Gala on social media/repost those explaining how it does support the arts BUT this year, I think it is indefensible. It is being used to gaslight us all in believing Jeff Bezos is anything other than evil & trying to destroy democracy in this country.

Not "couldn't pay", but "wouldn't pay"

Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs. Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction. Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.

Who could have predicted this would happen?

Almost no-one is listening but here it is:

This means that hundreds, if not thousands of labs all over the country will close. Tens of thousands of jobs will be lost. This is in defiance of Congress's will and in defiance of good stewardship of the US economy. This is entirely because Russ Vought hates science

The White House stands as a symbol of accessible governance, its very architecture designed to project democratic values. Yet, a highly controversial ballroom project threatens to contort this historic facade, trading an aesthetic of open transparency for a grand fortress-like eyesore.
