Love My Job as an Engineer..
Listening to my favorite songs...🎵

What drinks thou oft, instead of homage sweet, / But poison'd flattery?
Mine are blooming as well. Found a Pipevine swallowtail chrysalis a week ago. This Pipevine was planted three years ago in my backyard and we saw caterpillars last year, now a chrysalis. I am in northern CA, south of Sacramento.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.

These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.

They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.

KAINE: The president repeatedly mistook Iceland for Greenland, right? We're not mad at Iceland, correct?

RUBIO: Yeah, he meant to say Greenland, but I think we're all familiar with presidents who have verbal stumbles. Some made a lot more than this one

KAINE: Nice try

RUBIO: Yes

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Thank you. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order today blocking the Trump administration from removing a 5-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained by immigration authorities in Minnesota last week.

Sanctuary policies are legal. The Supreme Court has been clear for decades that the federal government cannot commandeer state or local governments to enforce federal immigration law. This isn’t “playing with fire.” It’s constitutional law.
