Snubbed by the Nobel committee, 47 throws another tantrum and the American people (and democracy) pay the price. Anyone surprised?

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Years ago I served the United Methodist churches in Francesville and Medaryville! The parsonage was in Francesville. Nice little town. The legend of Moody’s Road/Moody’s Light was told and retold a lot around those parts.

#parkchat Thank you!

#parkchat I’ve heard that seismometers in that area record the vibrations of bison stampeding across bridges.

#parkchat I am so glad that you got to have that experience. Encounters like this stay with you. 🦬

#parkchat every herd is different. Personally I think the herds in Yellowstone are far more assertive in road spaces than in most other places, probably due to their sheer herd sizes.

#parkchat what a wonderful thing to be involved in!

Susan Jennys (she/her) @yellowstonenpgeek.bsky.social · 3d

#parkchat Yes, in many places actually. Just not in cutthroat spawning areas, etc.

#parkchat on a related note, I am about to launch into reading Muir’s collected works. Assuming you’ve read him. Is there a favorite essay you would suggest I begin with?

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE
