Why are there so many more people carrying umbrellas? And don't tell me "Because it's raining."
HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?
KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Just doing some math here and realizing that slapping a 100% tariff on this particular Spanish film would've required it to be ¡SIX AMIGOS! There's no way Chevy Chase would've tolerated additional amigos.

Brilliant reporting from @tikk.bsky.social on how yesterday's judicial order ending the block on the DOGE "buyout" offer opened the door to Musk breaking countless laws to brutalize the federal work force: slate.com/news-and-pol...
A Judge Lifted His Order Against DOGE. Musk Immediately Sprang Into Action.

Chilling, accurate summation of where we're at from @tikk.bsky.social
In a very short period of time, dozens of federal judges have told the Trump Adminstration to stop breaking the law. To this point they've not only refused to comply, they've indicated that they won't. 1/

Sorry, I'll get to more birds shortly. My auto-buffer ran out without my realizing.

Northern Shoveler
Spring 2023, Central Park
Northern Shovelers are easy to ID b/c of their long dark bills (males only) and odd positioning in the water, with their back end up a bit higher. Beautiful eyes. This is a non-breeding male, the breeding males are more stunning.

Eastern Carpenter Bee

Most of my bird shots are taken with a 400mm lens, these bee shots were taken with a super-crisp 80mm macro lens (Fuji). Which also means I'm practically on top of that bee, and I'm simultaneously fascinated/terrified by stinging insects.

I'll briefly pause on the daily bird posts to add in a few bees. I've had my bee photos featured twice in the NYTimes Spelling Bee page, which puzzle I do every day.
