This is the best song ever… “Prince's impromptu, fiery guitar solo at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" became an instant classic. No one onstage knew what he was going to do.”

Sally McConnell was one of the major contributors to our environmental preservation group, WKPG (www.wkpreserve.com). She was an educator who also took on the personal mission of mentoring other educators in how to save and invest and helped many, as well as becoming a benefactor. We miss her.

Call your Senators and tell them to VOTE NO on this creep’s confirmation. ☎️ Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121 Todd Blanche is a scourge on our judicial system. He’s not just a threat to women and children, he’s a threat to our nation.

Kay and I made it to Willie Nelson’s show last night in Clearwater. It was moving to see this iconic performer, at 93 years young, bring his musical and cultural legacy to the stage once again. I suspect most can guess what song was being sung with this backdrop on the projection screen.

A rare "superbloom" is occurring in Death Valley National Park, the best in a decade, transforming the desert with carpets of gold, purple, and white flowers. Driven by record winter rainfall, the bloom which peaked in low elevations in March, will move to higher elevations through June.

Florida Republican Sheriffs Tell Trump To Stop Deporting People Without Criminal Records

A group of Republican sheriffs, appointed to an immigration commission by Gov DeSantis for their hardline positions on immigration, just stunned DeSantis and Trump with their request. Stop deporting immigrants without criminal records. Further evidence that Trump has gone way, way too far on immigration enforcement.

The most shocking thing about SCOTUS' tariffs case is that 3 Justices would have let Trump use a statute that doesn’t mention tariffs to impose ones that are unrestricted. Fortunately, the other 6 said no. Here’s the background you need to understand the decision: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

We just saw the video by the woman in pink. It clearly shows Pretti using a phone camera as multiple ICErs took down a woman, Pretti approached with his phone, got caught up in the scuffle, was flipped down by a couple of ICErs, struggled and was shot dead as the woman got away. No gun visible.
