I photographed at least seventy burrowing owls yesterday evening and only one told me to GTFO, which I promptly did. Look at his little tongue! So cute! 🪶

I mean this is not a big deal in the scope of things but the US produces less than 1% of the coffee it consumes and there's no room to chance that because there's nowhere to grow it. What kind of utter dumbass puts a protective tariff on coffee under those circumstances?

A 31-year old unvaccinated man has just died from measles in Chihuahua, Mexico. His infection is reported to be related to the Texas outbreak. Four unvaccinated people have died in this measles outbreak so far. The only thing that prevents measles is the MMR vaccine.

Time to stop some truth, and this is coming from a person who is on federal briefing calls 3-4 days/week. 1. There is no way to implement the House appropriations bill without cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and social security. None. Watch for the reconciliation bill to see what Repubs are willing to cut.

For those keeping track: that’s now *four different* lawsuits filed against the Trump administration by individual or large groups of religious organizations. That is, in fact, a lot of lawsuits for these groups to file against an administration just a month old.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

For what it’s worth, Democrats did refuse consent on Vought. They tried to filibuster him, forced Republicans to jump through hoops and used up all 30 hours of allowed debate time, with an all-nighter on the Senate floor, and all 47 Dems voted NO each time. That’s about all they can do procedurally.
