It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest. The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.
A powerful ocean scene shows waves crashing against a row of buildings under a dark, stormy sky. Overlaid in bold white text: “How much would you pay to protect your coast?”A square graphic with an aerial view of swirling ocean currents in teal and blue. Bold white text reads: “Only $21/year from the average taxpayer helps fund NOAA.”A square infographic with a dark stormy ocean background. The white header text reads: “Your $21 funds these essential services.” Below are six dark blue boxes, each with a white icon and label:
	1.	Coastal Mapping – Detailed charts of shorelines, navigation hazards, and more
	2.	Weather Monitoring – Vital data for tracking storms, extreme heat, and drought
	3.	Marine Resource Management – Conservation of ocean life and sustainable fisheries
	4.	Coastal Resilience – Infrastructure that withstands storms and rising seas
	5.	Storm Research – Studies of severe weather patterns and impacts

The graphic uses clean lines, oceanic tones, and emphasizes the small taxpayer cost for these vital environmental services.

Correct. My grandparents and generations of my ancestors did all they could to spare us from the heat of the fields and white folks' kitchens. My parents' generation worked the line. SO few of them in Detroit are reaching age 70. So few! Jobs that didn't break our bodies were their dream for us.

Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets" For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.

We identified about $160 billion in annual subsidies doing the most harm to our environment. By redirecting those subsidies at 10% annually we amplify every dollar spent. Stop subsidizing invasive livestock and instead build wildlife overpasses. Take from the problem and give to the solution.
