@gtconway3 For most Americans, as long as they have cheap beer, a ball team to cheer and a group to hate, minor inconveniences like Congressional approval, for anything, is irrelevant.
Puffins have returned to Northern Ireland’s Isle of Muck (seriously, that’s its name) for the first time in at least 25 years. Tales of puffins on the island “felt more like folklore,” said nature reserves manager Andy Crory, but now they’re coming back.

"Let’s be clear: Nick Fuentes is not a 'provocateur.' He is not 'edgy.' He is not 'contrarian.' Fuentes is a 27-year old, self-professed white supremacist, misogynist, Holocaust denier, anti-Semite, and a man who openly praises the ideology that murdered Anne Frank and millions of others deemed inferior. His beliefs are not ambiguous; they are explicit embraced and proudly broadcast."

@AlliFlowers Rumors say kegsbreath has had gold-plated beer taps installed in his office.
DeConna Ice Cream in Florida has a new 794-kW ballasted ground-mount solar system thanks to the grants that Democrats provided to Americans and Republicans have now taken away.
The installation offsets ~65% of DeConna’s annual electricity usage and will provide DeConna decades of stable, predictable energy costs.

There is no bottom for these people. Abraham announced that the health department was no longer allowed to promote vaccines on the very day that RFK Jr. was confirmed.
Looks like he got what he was angling for. Disgraceful.
