It’s nice to see a politician do more outdoors than golf. But I’m personally offended when I see J.D. Vance enjoying National Forest lands. Like wow, you just helped kneecap the agency, its people, ~7,000 gone, then go out to enjoy the land and its stewardship like nothing happened.

Yesterday's flash in the Grand Canyon was caused by heavy thunderstorms over fire-ravaged land. Similar to the glacial collapse that caused the horrific destruction in Nepal last week, both of those risk factors become more common and severe with global climate change.

Studying frog habitats has to be the third most innocuous federal research activity possible. Counting snips and snails would be the other two. We are told this was an “isolated incident” and not part of a broader trend, while Dr. Fauci is pilloried by Rand Paul and Josh Hawley. Frustrating.

"Scarborough town council: ICE OUT. The town of Scarborough, home of Maine's ICE facility, is holding a special session on Wednesday, July 29, at 5:30pm to issue a proclamation about ICE. Beforehand, there will be a vigil starting at 5pm for Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero and our neighbors who have been terrorized by ICE. Residents and local advocates have created a petition with demands the town can take that are evidence-based and legally supported. If you are from Scarborough or surrounding towns, please sign the petition and show up on Wednesday."
