Moose are great swimmers, can fully submerge for 30+ sec, & dive up to 5m deep! When a moose submerges its head, the difference btwn water pressure & air pressure causes specialized structures w/in moose nostrils to seal the nose! The deeper they dive, the greater the pressure, the tighter the seal!
<Exasperated sigh> I’m not an expert of anything. But I know a fairly decent amount about a wide variety of things. It is exhausting—every damn day—reading about a dozen new and different ways that this regime is destroying decades of knowledge, resources, expertise, resources, and relationships.
This evening, President Trump put out a statement on social media saying he will decertify “all aircraft made in Canada.” This statement could have wide reaching consequences for the wildfire aviation world.

Important update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress.

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reveal how it apportions taxpayer money, including information it apparently tried to hide through spend plans in footnotes.
This is a huge win for transparency and accountability!

Stop pretending that Gavin Newsom is a leading contender for the Dem Presidential bid. Fuck that guy.
Read the whole quote. He sounds like a clown.
It’s not difficult. “Every country in the world has immigration enforcement. We always will have it. Nothing says it has to look like this, and if it means starting from square one, I welcome it.”
But he’s a goddamn clown.

I keep taking deep breaths and trying to focus on work and things of direct relevance to me, but I keep coming back to the fact that ICE murdered two people, video is absolutely crystal clear that they did, and no one's been fired, much less arrested. We still don't know the perpetrators' names.

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
