As budget director, Russell Vought has often ignored Congress by … not signing the checks. At other times, he’s been able to take money Congress intended for one thing and use it for something else by justifying it as a “national emergency.” Listen to our latest episode:

It's milk time for Moshi! Every orphan in our care receives a unique milk formula tailored to their species, age and nutritional needs. Keeper Peter has every bottle feed perfectly orchestrated, under the watchful supervision of his adoring zebra shadows, Bombi & Brutus!

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor. (Published Dec. 2025)

Wow. I lived in Kenya from mid ‘70s - late ‘80s; seeing a tusker then was rarer than later years (though when “elephant crossing” signs were still around). Lovely to see this magnificent animal!

My grandfather was a formidable Texan lawyer, and Big Bend was one of his favorite places in the world (he worked all over the globe). If he were alive there would be hell to pay, but I’m split because he died not knowing how bad our country would become. Come on, Texans. Stand the fuck up.

Kaikai has earned herself a new nickname: Little Disturbance. She’s taken to dashing back from the bush whenever she feels like it, trumpeting loudly as she runs and making quite an entrance. Bungalu, by contrast, is patient and never rushes anywhere. It’s Kaikai’s world and we just live in it!

25 years ago today, US Strategic Command was—by sheer coincidence—one week into its annual Global Guardian nuclear command and control exercise. Strategic bombers had been armed with some 36 nuclear weapons, ICBMs and several SSBNs were on alert, and three E-4B airborne command posts were aloft.

On 9/11, StratCom leaders were practicing for a fictional threat when real, unprecedented catastrophe struck
Nothing had prepared them to respond to multiple commercial airliners inside the United States that had suddenly been transformed into guided missiles, filled with human beings.

The massive nationwide electricity rate hikes aren’t happening simply because utility services have gotten more expensive or customers have been receiving better service. It’s because utility monopolies have bought off the system that’s supposed to keep them in check.
