Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

Good afternoon. One for #InsectThursday From earlier today, a beautiful little Common Blue Butterfly was feeding on the few remaining Purple Toadflax flowers. It's the first one I've seen in our garden for a very long time! 🫶💜 #Photography #Invert #UKWildlife #Nature #Butterflies #ECK
A photograph of a small butterfly, a Common Blue, that is seen with its wings closed in side profile.  The underwing of this butterfly is buff brown with a pattern of small black spots circled in white and a distinct row of orange spots near the outer edge.  Its proboscis is out and stripy antennae are down as it feeds on the open blooms of one Purple Toadflax flower cluster.  The background is blurred in dark shades of green from an evergreen shrub behind. Taken in South East, UK
