Just like a repugnican to attack butterflies.
Butterflies aren’t just little puffs of joy, they are critical pollinators. Most of this decline is likely due to pesticide use, loss of habitat, and climate change.
What can you do? Don’t use pesticides, including on your clothes when you go camping (permethrin) …
Scientists brought to tears by huge loss of U.S. butterflies

22% decline between 2000 and 2020; similar trends expected in Canada

My father did and he's turning over in his grave now.
Many of you have fathers or grandfathers who left their homes for Europe to fight and die in places they never knew existed and couldn’t pronounce.

They did it because they knew that if a bully goes unchallenged, he will only become more vicious.

Our Allies should think long and hard whether they want their top security info to end up in tRump's toilet.
As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.
Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow.
