Seahawks fans have some First World problems. I wrote about the odd hand-wringing after a 22-point blowout, and why this team is more complete than the 2012 squad in my Morning After column 👇 www.hawkblogger.com/2025/11/the-...

Kipekee can't go anywhere without her bodyguard. Big girl Kamili used to be quite stand-offish towards the babies, but Kipekee's arrival changed all that. Now she won't go anywhere without her tiny-trunked friend. From being on the brink of death, to a big caring sister, meet Kamili: swt.bio/kamili

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Our Keepers provide patient mentorship to every orphan. They lead fragile newcomers on their first steps into the forest, walk beside adolescents gaining independence, and know when to step back as the orphans hear the call of the wild. To date, we’ve reintegrated 196 elephants back into the wild.

Our Ithumba orphans adore wild-born calves, but they also know that they can get away with anything. On this day, Kindani had enough. Subiri did something to offend her, so she got her revenge with a tail pull, a shove, and a kick. Subiri's mum Sunyei and nannies were over in a flash, no harm done.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

Remember to live your life such that people don't talk about the abject evils you did when you die.
So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.
