A red wolf wearing an orange tracking colar stares at the camera in a natural setting. Text overlay reads, "Congress is working to dismantle the Endangered Species Act."

The Endangered Species Act Ammendments Bill is scheduled for a vote with the House of Representatives this week.

Despite the innocuous name, the bill would dismantle the lifesaving act as we know it.

Thank you! Lots of weeds yet to pull 😆

That does not look very chic.

Whomst among us didn't ride a camel there that was said to be the voice of Chewbacca?

Playing Sandstorm right after Lust for Life is nasty work

Steph missed 41% of possible playoff games (if we count the year he played only 5 games b/c of a broken hand). Derrick Rose missed 47%. I see you left that number out of the article though, even though you calculated it for Steph. Bill Walton missed 60% of possible playoff appearances. Nice spin 🏀

Thank you!! 🏀 🤣 I feel better now ☕

I hope Moses & Jimmy recover fully. I hope GS keeps Bassey. I talked mad shit about Podz but he really did get better this year. Gui leveled up. GPII had one of his best ever seasons. I hope they keep Pat around as a differential antagonist. I hope they get more shooters to support Steph. 🏀

Honestly relieved that Lu Dort won't be hurting anyone on Golden State next series. 🏀
I will miss talking smack with #DubNation.

I really like Devin Booker but he shouldn't let Dray get to him like that. lol 🏀

100% 🏀

This team is tired and should not be going to the playoffs. #GSW 🏀

BPodz is a scrapper and he has risen to the occasion. He's come a long way from the beginning of the season. 🏀

A tiny bit of joy in a so far joyless game 🏀

IMMATERIAL MF 🏀

Maybe eating the turnover is deep anti-turnover magic 🏀

I saw a report that he was limping before the game, but wanted to play. 🏀

Dillon Brooks, man. That creep can roll. 🏀

Reminder: if you follow me and don't want to hear about basketball, mute the basketball emoji.

The best thing about this Dubs game right now is imagining OKC roasting Dillon Brooks on a spit 🏀

Bring in Big Al and Young Glove #DubNation 🏀

It's wild to me that people think Dr. Robbie did a heel turn this season- like no one saw the signs he was not in great shape last season? And it's been a year since then.

I appreciate that Brenda's puts a thick piece of real ham on their breakfast sandwiches, but that doesn't atone for the sin of completely unseasoned scrambled eggs. wth

He sends all our Oakland school kids huge boxes of books every year. 💚💚💚

his feet are light and nimble. he never sleeps. he says that he will never die. he guards in the post and on the perimeter and he is a great favorite. he never sleeps, draymond green. he is stealing, stealing the ball. he says that he will never die

damn we won the hoops! 🏀

Utterly pointless bit of clutter. 🏀
