Once reviled, the Greater Adjutant stork was nearly extinct, but the conservation efforts of Dr. Purnima Devi Barman and her 'Hargila Army' has turned the bird's fate around.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

This administration will go to any length to ensure the American public has zero transparency. Now, senior Justice Department officials are invoking executive privilege to block a dismissed lawyer from testifying before Congress — all in an effort to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress the truth.

BREAKING: Republican-majority panel of the Republican-majority NC Court of Appeals rules 2-1 that the Republican candidate for Supreme Court (their colleague on the Court of Appeals) wins the election even though he got several hundred fewer votes than the Dem appellate.nccourts.org/opinions/?c=...
Screenshot of the cover page of Griffin v Board of Elections. Text reads: "IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NORTH CAROLINA
No. COA25-181
Filed 4 April 2025
Wake County, Nos. 24CV40619-910, 24CV040620-910, 24CV40622-910 JEFFERSON GRIFFIN, Petitioner,
v.
NORTH CAROLINA STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, Respondent,
and
ALLISON RIGGS, Intervenor-Respondent.
Appeal by petitioner from orders entered 7 February 2025 by Judge William
R. Pittman in Wake County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 21 March 2025."Excerpt from the panel majority opinion in Griffin v. Board of Elections. Text reads: "Upon remand, the Board is instructed to immediately direct the county boards
to expeditiously identify the military and overseas voters challenged under this
protest and notify said voters of their failure to abide by the photo ID requirement or
equivalent, to allow said voters fifteen (15) business days from the mailing of the
notice to cure the defect, and upon verification, to include in the count of this
challenged election the votes of those voters who timely cure their failure to abide by
the photo ID requirement and to omit from the final count the votes of those voters
who fail to timely cure their deficiencies.
Finally, as to the "Never Residents" voters, we conclude these purported voters
are not eligible to vote in North Carolina, non-federal elections, and the votes cast by
these purported voters are not to be included in the final count in the 2024 election
for Seat 6. The Superior Court's order in 24CV040619-910, affirming the Board's dismissal of Griffin's protest as to these purported voters is reversed with instructions to remand the matter to the Board to direct the county boards to identify the votes from "Never Residents" and remove them from the final count of the 2024 election for
Supreme Court Seat 6.
The Clerk of this Court is ordered to issue this Court's mandate on Monday, 7
April 2025 at 5 P.M. It is so ordered.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
Panel consisting of:
Judges TYSON, HAMPSON, and GORE.
Judge Hampson dissents by separate opinion."

A screencap of Elon Musk's tweet, "Defund NPR. It should survive on its own." With a pie chart below labeled, "Space X revenue" that shows the federal government funds 35% of Space X's revenue. Another pie chart beside it, labeled "NPR Budget," shows that only 1% of NPR's budget comes from the federal government.
