#MusicChallenge folks! Please join me starting tomorrow for a new #BirdSongs challenge featuring our feathered friends, birds! 🪶🐦🦉

Below, I'll post photos of #birds along with vital info for you to use as inspiration in selecting your song (not theirs!) for the challenge. Have fun! #MusicSky #Music
An infographic that has three watercolor painted birds, one blue and orange bluebird with the words hosted by Dani Shaw dot me at the top. A black-capped chickadee with a black back, yellow belly and white face sits on the BirdSongs hashtag. The words below state "Celebrating birds and music. Use birds posted in this thread as inspiration for your tunes." A green and yellow bird sits on the MusicChallenge hashtag. The background is a light blue and purple watercolor.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Mascot rave actually seems like an incredibly effective tactic. There's absolutely no way to spin that the dancing unicorn was threatening.

It seems this bird lives in swamps, so a swamp blues will go well with it.
