I love his work. Sad day for all.
Saddened to hear about the passing of renowned Minnesota wildlife photographer Jim Brandenburg.
His work has inspired countless people to appreciate nature and the art of photography. Sending my thoughts to his family.

Republicans in Congress are saying their tax plan will cost $0. That's a lie.
The truth: they want to pay for billionaire tax handouts by adding trillions to the deficit and slashing health care coverage.
Republicans can try to repeal math, but they can't repeal reality.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

$10M a year? No.
$100M a year? No.
$500M a year? No.
$1 BILLION a year? No.
With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
