An American Red Squirrel, also known as a Pine Squirrel, about to tuck into an acorn. Such cute and feisty little fuzzies.

A secretive Pacific Wren that looks VERY surprised to see me in the woods with it. #birds

ICYMI: In 2016, Marco Rubio stated he did not favor repealing the 14th Amendment to end birthright citizenship & supported the amendment in a court filing. By 2025, Rubio was “100% aligned” with tRump's agenda restricting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. #PINKS

Go ahead. Test him on anything, piggy.

Incompetence at the top of the FBI has devastating consequences.

Nice section of rainbow from high atop a hill in West Mifflin.

Got to stop at Pasquale's for lunch in Pittsburgh. Good stuff.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

youtube.com/shorts/gYbfQ... I think they mean "how." There's no discussion of "why."

Why would the US/Israelis bother striking a road bridge? The B1 road bridge was in the final stages of construction and not open to road traffic. Therefore, it had no military value. Conclusion? This was a punitive and disproportionate attack on civilian infrastructure: a potential war crime.

I've been joking about Pam Bondi being fired because she's a ridiculous figure, but the reasons for it happening are basically horrifying.

Tariff costs for American families jumped from $1,744 in 2025 to $2,510 in 2026. That’s $766 more out of your pocket in one year. $332.9 billion total. Taken from American families. Not from China. Not from foreign exporters. From YOU. #TrumpsTariffsCostUS #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Donald Trump doesn’t care about you. He is using your tax dollars to fund another war in the Middle East while working families can’t afford health care. So much for America First.

More distractions…

FOX CONFIRMS PAM BONDI OUT AS AG TODD BLANCHE TO BE INTERIM AG

Revenge is a dish best (soft) served cold.

Monongahela sounds like an ill-tempered reptile that might bite you if you get too close. "We used to have a monongahela but had to get rid of it when it bit my wife's dad over last Thanksgiving."

It's getting close to that time, everybody. Who all is planning on attending the biggest week in Ohio? I am 🙂

Yesterday was my 10th year anniversary of being an expediter. That makes it the longest I've ever been at a particular job by about three years. Here is a pro tip that I've learned during that time: eye drops can help you feel less tired on very long trips.

A few days ago, the Senate passed a bipartisan proposal to fund DHS without an appropriation for ICE Mike Johnson called it a “joke” Now he has agreed to the proposal Guess we know who the joke is now

PM of Poland

Trump: we are the only country in the world stupid enough to allow birthright citizenship Also Trump: my mother came here from Scotland Also Trump: my father's parents came here from Germany Also Trump: all my kids but one have mothers who weren't US citizens when they were born

A male Northern Flicker (yellow-shafted) pauses on a fence post before hopping back down into the grasses. Instead of hammering on wood, these birds prefer to dig in the dirt to look for ants.

The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

Robert Preston Morris, the Texas Megachurch pastor and spiritual advisor to Donald Trump, convicted of sexually molesting a 12-year-old girl, walks free from an Oklahoma prison after serving only 6 months. Because he's MAGA and Trump wants him free, apparently.

Not that there’s anything wrong with being low IQ, unless you’re president

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

Maybe Trump will resign tonight.

You know Pam Bondi has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

Looks like a cautionary tale about the risks of empowering pickles.

I start playing #TenMinMerlin in March, to detect residents before migration really starts. Now, it's time! The 1st migratory warblers were seen in central Ohio this week, they'll increase until mid-May. Migration's underway in most of the US. Migratory birds delight me. You can have that too!

Melania Trump relied on an interpreter when Pope Francis spoke to her in Italian. She needed a translator to talk with children at a French hospital. She’s been here for nearly 30 years & can barely speak English. The claim that she’s fluent in 6 languages - is a fucking insult.

First time out in residential Pittsburgh. Y'all got some serious hills out here.
