Admiral Holsey’s resignation suddenly makes sense. When a regime is indiscriminately blowing up “drug boats” with no evidence, no due process, and no declared war, smart people get out early. He’s not dodging duty — he’s dodging a future date with the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.

there is no legitimate definition of the term "democracy" under which maps like these are "democratic." this level of stovepiping is banana republic shit. this is effectively no different from stuffing a ballot box
Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.
The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.

Mangroves act as sinks for ocean plastic pollution, physically trapping it in their complex root systems. While this prevents plastic from spreading further into the open ocean, accumulation harms the mangroves and wildlife within. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MangroveMonday #Plastic

The Social Security Admin hopes to cut the number of people visiting its offices by half--15 million people--during this fiscal year, which began two months ago.
That's because they undermined in-person service by rapidly pushing out thousands of staff, creating huge pressure on local offices.
