Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.
Gregory Bovino must also be fired.
No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.
A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads: “If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.”
This you, Kristi?
A great deal of our problems result from not holding those who tried to destroy our democracy accountable for their actions.
The Florida panther, whooping crane, and manatee are some of America’s most vulnerable species, Lois Parshley reports. Now the Trump administration's proposed changes may drive them to extinction.
The process to the demise of the US Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Jane Davenport from @awionline.org, pithy and accurate as usual:
“The overall thrust is going to essentially put a stake through the heart of the statute.”

Praying in the House, while preparing to vote away benefits for seniors, children, and the sick. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
I got lots of advice, some very specific. But one thing I heard again and again: America, you are running out of time.
Here is what I learned:

A post from Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast ) on X reads: "People want their institutions to stand up." Below, an article from The Harvard Crimson (thecrimson.com) is shared, marked as an advertisement, with the headline: "As Garber Stands Against Trump, Money From Harvard Donors Pours In." The article includes an image of a modern Harvard University building with large windows and multiple floors.
Support any institution or nonprofit that comes under attack by the White House.
Dolphingemma will eventually be available as open source to researchers to input their own data. After years of looking at nonhuman communication as an analog for Seti signals it seems AI is finally here to help. Www.wilddolphinproject.org to see some of our talks at SETI Institute and others .

There we go.
Trump's executive orders targeting law firms are unconstitutional and threaten judicial independence. Firms should sue to stop them, Adam Unikowsky argues.
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly
After the national-security breach on Signal, Trump’s administration “again wants you to believe that two and two make five,” writes Peter Wehner. “When there is no objective truth, when everyone gets to make up their own reality,” authoritarians thrive.
There really ought to be a Pulitzer for protest signs.
The ultimate check on Trump's abuses will be in the hands of the people, Cecillia Wang writes. "The constitutional system of checks and balances is still holding—for now":
This!
Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."
"We cannot overstate what has just happened. It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order"

WHAT. AN. IDIOT!
It's hilarious and pathetic seeing Fox News hosts who make several million dollars a year telling viewers to accept the pain and not worry about their 401ks plummeting.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Pop Crave (@PopCrave ). The tweet reads: "Costco sees a gain in foot traffic for a 13th consecutive week after sticking with its DEL initiatives." Below the text, there is an image of the Costco Wholesale logo, which features the word "COSTCO" in red and "WHOLESALE" in white with blue lines above it, all on a blue background. The Pop Crave logo, consisting of a yellow and orange circle with the text "POP CRAVE," is displayed at the top left of the tweet.
They have our business!
