Now listed at 184 acres and 75% contained, and evacuation order has been lifted 😊 We have an amazing group of first responders, many who are volunteers, who have been extraordinary in keeping the recent fires from getting out of control and doing much more damage!

Fire is still reported as 800 acres with 0% containment and moving southwest. The rain that we’re getting around Waco is passing just north of the fire 😢 #CentralTexas #wildfires

With how integrated Alexa is on all of those Roku TVs that are, surprise! Discounted for Prime Days from their already budget-level prices, this acquisition raises some concerns about FOX Corp. now having a direct line to getting a lot of personal information from unsuspecting customers…

Not sure where you are in the US, but typically public health guidelines require a 10 day quarantine for domestic dogs/cats after a bite that has broken skin. There’s only a risk of passing on rabies during the last stage of infection, so if the puppy is still alive in 10 days, you’re clear.

1. #Flu & #measles updates from #CDC today. 6 more pediatric deaths from 2025-26 were reported to CDC last week. The season's is now 172; 85% of those children were not fully vaccinated. Flu season is over but the death toll will continue to climb; these reports are often delayed.

Thank you for sharing this! As someone learning to live with FND, it is encouraging to see current research on the biological effects of stress, which will hopefully lead to better treatment and prophylaxis options to combat debilitating functional disorders in the future.

2016 has been trending. Could it be that many are finally grasping the consequences of not looking more critically at the iconoclast they embraced, and subconsciously longing for the relative stability of a government that at least respected the Constitution – and wishing for an impossible do-over?

On their knees in the Oval Office, apparently, but with far worse consequences for the US than when 42 was taking advantage of a star struck intern 😤 (No shade to Monica Lewinsky, who has gone on to become a staunch advocate for survivors of cyber bullying and abuse of power/SA grooming.)

Just as Sec. Worm Brain is MAHA’ing the US back into an era of widespread and unchecked, epidemic Measles and “FluNoroCoCo”viral outbreaks, the only people this administration wants wearing protective masks of any kind are those *purposely* sent into our communities to do harm 🤬

Just seeing this. Y’all get a choice? All the TX DLs/State IDs have only been available as Real IDs since 2016. But my dumpster fire state doesn’t acknowledge a right to privacy unless you’re a pastor or politician(R) with illegal fetishes, so that shouldn’t be a surprise 😐😤

It doesn’t fit the administration’s narrative when we protest without rioting and violence – stay calm, stay focused, STAY IN THEIR WAY. Chaos may look like it’s got the upper hand but they’ll burn themselves out with their own rage. Grey rock those narcissists until they take themselves out.

If it's not fascism when he says he's going to send Americans to torture gulags in El Salvador, to the president of El Salvador, on live TV, and everyone in the room laughs... When is it? The trains have left the station. We just don't know who among us is on them yet.

The biggest flaw with so many in the current administration isn’t that they lack the knowledge to do better, but that they have never learned how to learn — they lack the most basic ability to evaluate the validity & value of different information, & treat fact and opinion as equally relevant 😬

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to work with others to “conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.”

The Department of the Interior is excited about the potential of “de-extinction” technology and how it may serve broader purposes beyond the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biodiversity protection efforts and helping endangered or at-risk species.

The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel California: once a species enters, they never leave. In fact, 97 percent of species that are added to the endangered list remain there. This is because the status quo is focused on regulation more than innovation.

It’s time to fundamentally change how we think about species conservation. Going forward, we must celebrate removals from the endangered list - not additions. The only thing we’d like to see go extinct is the need for an endangered species list to exist. We need to continue improving recovery efforts to make that a reality, and the marvel of “de-extinction” technology can help forge a future where populations are never at risk.

Since the dawn of our nation, it has been innovation – not regulation – that has spawned American greatness. The revival of the Dire Wolf heralds the advent of a thrilling new era of scientific wonder, showcasing how the concept of “de-extinction” can serve as a bedrock for modern species conservation.

The Dire Wolf revival carries profound cultural significance as it embodies strength and courage that is deeply encoded within the DNA of American identity and tribal heritage.

Breakthroughs of this nature will inspire leading minds and future generations of innovators to chase the impossible, capture it, and unleash its potential!

The Department of the Interior looks forward to a vibrant future full of innovation that advances core missions such as wildlife conservation.

If you need a reminder of why the tariffs are a public health issue as well: ▶️About *80%* of our active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced abroad. ▶️About *50%* of our generic drugs are manufactured overseas This means increased costs in an inevitably strained generic drug supply. Not good

Usually, when the Dow is down 1,200 points it’s due to some political or economic calamity outside the control of our government and institutions. This is different. The president metaphorically put a gun to America’s temple and pulled the trigger. Apparently just to see what would happen. 🤮
