Don’t let this go by unnoticed

Pete Hegseth sent U.S. troops to fight and die in Iran. Was he trying to cash in on the war behind closed doors? This would be a massive betrayal. I’m pressing for a full investigation NOW.

The Trump administration is making it easier for farmers to get visas for guest farmworkers, but so far it's slow to take hold in the Northwest and may not solve the region's labor shortage made worse by increased immigration enforcement — at least not right away.

1/ My first story as a @propublica.org climate reporter: I discovered that the Trump appointee in charge of rewriting methane rules at the EPA was – just four years ago – an unnamed author of an oil industry response to those same rules. His name isn't in the document itself, but…

Becker: The DOJ has been hollowed out. They’re the losingest law firm in America right now. They’re going to lose. The president simply does not have this power. This executive order is about as effective as if I wrote it in crayon on a napkin. It just doesn’t mean anything legally.

DIXIE: “This land was made for you and me… we’re forgetting we’re supposed to be here to make people’s lives better.” Rep. @dixie4tn.bsky.social rips Dennis Powers and the TN Republicans’ Stephen Miller slate of hate— trying to cut off undocumented immigrants from education, doctors, etc.

Turns out even America’s most beloved candy isn’t safe from family drama. After a very public scolding from the inventor’s grandson, Hershey says Reese’s will return to its original chocolate‑and‑peanut‑butter formula.

You've heard of Pizza Cat, but how about this mouser at Vicenza? As Stars and Stripes reporter Chad Garland observed: "I ran into one of the dozen or so feral cats the Garrison has tagged and adopted as mouse-hunters. His name, fittingly, is Grey. He patrols the area around the USO." #Flashes
