BOOM! Chicago priest Fr. Michael Pfleger just DROPPED a holy firebomb on Trump—slamming the tyrant-in-chief in 10 brutal ways over his illegal National Guard threats! "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president & his admin's reign of terror."

That Pete Hegseth Speech Could’ve Been A Spam Email For Boner Pills Oh my fucking god www.wonkette.com/p/that-pete-...

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

When people email me, saying, "Jack...I am so tired. Have any words of wisdom to help me find the motivation to keep moving?," I say this: If you woke up and discovered a spider on your face...would you need to be motivated to get up? As a someone in this country, you have a spider on your face.

Amaryllis belladonna (Naked Ladies) blooming late summer - and what's better? It's a #PoisonousPlant: contains lycorine, a toxic alkaloid found in the bulbs and foliage, and one of my choices for the White House Kitchen Garden this year!

🍽️ Hey, What’s Cooking, how about some roasted potatoes, and nothing else?

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.

Yep. Florida private schools require current vaccination records for every student. “Private schools must maintain a Florida Certification of Immunization for each child. This form is not available to the public and must be completed by a Florida physician or a Florida county health department.”

“August job cuts reached the highest level since 2020, while announced hiring plans hit the weakest level ever recorded for the month.” Kinda feels like a Recession in bloom. www.tradingkey.com/news/economi...

Cocktail glasses have arrived, just in time for use on the new Mar-a-Lago style patio at the White House. #CocktailHour #Cocktails #botanicals #SecondaryMetabolites

The Death of a Rose Garden. What an abomination, all in the name of Christian Louboutin stilettos and golden umbrellas in the style of Mar-a-Lago. He's not leaving, so it's time to install a hedge of water hemlock, Cicuta douglasii, the most violently toxic plant in North America.

🌱 Lithops can live 40-50 years and only need transplanting from a pot every 10 years or so. These living stones require only a scarce amount of water because the entire plant is devoted to storing water. You will find them growing in their native habitats of Namibia and South Africa. #Lithops

It still astounds me just how easily a guy like Trump, with no redeeming qualities, has taken over institution after institution (starting with the Republican Party in 2015), to make himself dictator of the US with rather minimal pushback. Shows just how overrated our system and people have been!🦠

Mississippi banned abortion and refused to expand Medicaid. This isn't complicated. This is a policy choice. 'Pro-life' politicians would rather babies die than their mothers receive health care. www.waaytv.com/news/nation-...

The ancient Greeks linked poppies with a range of deities, including Demeter, Hypnos, Thanatos, Morpheus, and Nyx. You can often spot these deities in art if you see them holding poppies or wearing poppy crowns.

Unable to work in a visit to the Merzouga Desert this month, I decided to make my own Medfouna ("buried" Berber Pizza) instead: a lamb and mushroom stuffed pastry with dill, almonds and feta baked in an oven rather than a sand pit in the Sahara. 🍽️🍜 #Medfouna #Morocco #whatscooking

Each one of these Papaver somniferum pods (opium poppy) holds over 1,000 seeds. (Possession of seed pods over 4 oz can be considered drug trafficking in some states.) We will sow these with abundance in the White House Cutting Garden.

Pieris japonica (Andromeda Shrub or Lily of the Valley Shrub) is a new addition to the White House Garden. All parts are poisonous. How perfect. The grayanotoxins affect the heart, brain and nervous system if consumed. Consuming honey from nectar of the plants results in "Mad Honey Disease."
