Yesterday, the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook showed us the first glimpse of August & it is not pretty. Neither is July. As for June, it looks rough in the SW. This, with diminished federal response capacity & who knows what with FEMA. Buckle up--you're probably on your own.

Sen. Peter Squelch (Black Faced Shealthbill party) addressing congress today. He is attempting to champion a resolution to sell penguin eggs in return for tariff renegotiation. So far, he’s received cold shoulders and some Senators who’ve even flipped the bird, in a typically polite Ice House.

It’s been a pretty solid honeymoon — other than adding journalists to military plans on Signal, mistakenly deporting legal immigrants and tariffing penguins on uninhabited islands. 🤡
