Strikes me how many in this story are biologists or forestry workers. You won't find a more dedicated group in the public service. These are literally dream jobs we have trained decades for.
Nothing illustrates the depraved nature of the Trump cult better than how it’s convinced so many Americans to celebrate the suffering of their own family members.

Worse than tariffs, that’s a laugh.
It’s worth remarking that Ontario is able to do this because its liquor distribution and retailing agencies are government owned allowing them to act in the public interest. Public ownership is vital. www.bbc.com/news/article... #onpoli #cdnpoli

Trump will not make America great again (whatever that means) and will instead fail spectacularly, delivering harmful policies while focusing on distractions. Sadly, these failures will be acknowledged, with Trump inevitably blaming and castigating outsiders for his political ineptitude.

Hardly a surprise that Trump failed to mention climate change even once during his inaugural address, despite referencing N. Carolina hurricane and LA wildfires. So regressive. This failure to act is already proving to be so costly across multiple domains, including human lives.
