This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.
Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Trump is spending $200 million of our tax dollars on a “golden ballroom” in the White House, but we “can’t afford” pediatric cancer research.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.
Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?
Trump: I think so. He stole her.

“Putting troops on the streets of Los Angeles is a training exercise for the army, a form of reorientation. Soldiers are being retrained for loyalty to the president rather than the Constitution.” — @fotoole.bsky.social

What Trump was trying to demonstrate in Los Angeles is that he can project his armed power into every American community at any time.

Across East Anglia, and the country at large, the Wider Butterfly Survey is seeking volunteers to help determine how acute butterfly decline is.
As part of Insect Week, might this be something you could volunteer for?
Surveys in July & August - a wonderful opportunity for some nature respite.

The Secretary of Agriculture announced yesterday that the Admin is about to ask Congress for hundreds of billions to bail out farmers because of Trump’s tariffs.

The Secretary of Agriculture announced yesterday that the Admin is about to ask Congress for hundreds of billions to bail out farmers because of Trump’s tariffs.
👇 This
Trump’s policy is designed to force global leaders, US-based special interest groups & Republican senators / congressmen to call for the tariffs being dropped.
In return for which Trump will demand praise, obedience, power concessions & staggering amounts of $$$.
For Trump, it’s not stupid at all.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again).
"The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties.
