Wow, way to spin a politically motivated murder that the administration didn't even want to acknowledge in the first place.

I wonder why they're so far behind? Gee, could it be an agency that was already underfunded and understaffed, suffered a critical blow this year when a whole bunch of employees were fired or demoralized so badly they quit or took early retirement?

The U.S. Forest Service has treated about 4 million fewer acres than this time last year. We're way behind on thinning, prescribed fire, and related actions.

I love that movie, and I keep telling myself that I should rewatch it, and yet I can't get myself to do it. 🥲

My kid has had glasses for two years. You'd think she'd notice they weren't on her face, but she would walk out of the house 99.9% of the time without them if I didn't remind her. And half the time I remember to go upstairs and get them from her room, she comes downstairs with something else. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm glad I'm not the only parent who has to remind their kid to wear their glasses.

Gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression.

Voters in gerrymandered states find out quickly that their vote doesn’t count toward their representation, so they become apathetic.
