Old (2023) data, but handy for a note of appreciation for colleagues who served:
“Of the 37,485 total employees in the Forest Service, there are currently 5,555 individuals who identify as veterans, making up 14.8% of the agency’s workforce.”
Thank you, veterans, for your service and sacrifice.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

Durbin: "The question is not whether Trump is sinking in the polling -- and he appears to be -- but whether his fate is going to be shared by other Republicans, and whether they have the courage to join Democrats and do the right things and stand up for the Constitution."

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation.
He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths.
In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

New protest idea:
Everyone send this table placemat to the White House and to The Hill.
It is ridiculous that my kids read this daily at the breakfast table and I’m not sure these leaders know what it is.

Somehow, 375 years ago, the Quakers developed a religion whose core principles align well with the pillars of modern parenting research. Gail Cornwall on what parents of any faith—or none—can learn from them:
Quaker Parents Were Ahead of Their Time
The nearly 375-year-old religion’s principles line up surprisingly well with modern parenting research.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

So you think T used the same criteria for selecting his cabinet that he used for casting the Apprentice?
Remember last time when he fired everyone? This time they “learned their lesson” when they F up?
Has he “jumped the shark?”

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.
