These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

While we're all distracted by the domestic sideshow, Trump is sending the military out to kill people he says are "terrorists", in violation of US and international law. No wonder people at the Pentagon are checking in with their lawyers.

@farmerroy.bsky.social Hey Roy, I thought about you after going to the UnTeachables at Spokane Comedy Club the other night. They are a couple teachers that do standup about teaching. Hilarious ound ya here.

Still putting wheat in the ground or have you slipped into the world of retired?

Another stupid move by Trump. climate.gov was one of the tools I used while operating our family wheat farm for 40+ years. Also used as a reference by several of the farm/marketing publications and newsletters I subscribed to over the years. www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...
A popular climate website will be hobbled, after Trump administration eliminates entire staff
Climate.gov is the main source of timely climate-related information for the public. It will stop publishing new information because the Trump administration laid off everyone who worked on it.

1/ In, arguably, the most capitalistic country on Earth, all 340 million of us can say we own hundreds of millions of acres. It is our birthright. Yet, no one individual or special interest group can lay claim to our federal public lands for themselves.

OUR public lands are under attack by the trump administration. They want to drill and/or mine everywhere and plan on selling 1/2 of OUR lands.
Call Congress and tell them to stand up to trump and keep their hands off OUR lands.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

Every few years (as a federal worker), I had to take required training in preservation of government documents and records.

This was definitely not in the training
DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Republicans aim to generate support for selling off America's public lands. Call Congress and tell them to leave their own and their billionaire donor's grubby hands off OUR Public Lands.
