I’d like to take a moment to congratulate Representative Denise Garner, who, as of close of filing at noon today, is unopposed in her bid for the Senate seat I’ve had the honor of serving since 2019.
Congratulations, Representative Garner.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

This allows them to spend some time on their side hustles. (Seriously, though, prime fundraising time, yes?)
US Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Jonesboro, is only member of #Arkansas House delegation still collecting his salary during govt. shutdown. Crawford filed suit last year to get cost-of-living increases frozen by Congress. House has been in recess for 7 weeks; staff not getting paid.
