I'm posting this video taken on a boat ride from Ventura harbor to Santa Cruz Island (part of Channel Islands National Park) last week. A small piece of wonder (especially the kids' voices) in otherwise difficult days.

Screenshot from The White House Newsletter dated 3/15/2025 re: the price of eggs. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but maybe you can share it on other sites where Trumpers might see it and begin to recognize the lies coming out of this adminstration.

I received this e-mail from the delusional occupant of the White House this morning. I texted "Pog mo thoin" (Kiss my ass in Irish). Thought you all might want to try sending your own messages.

Trump signed an EO creating the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. He should start with HR 59 by Josh Brecheen (R-OK) condemning Mariann Budde+for speaking her deeply held religious convictions at the National Prayer Service.

For my fellow DVMs (and anyone else interested), Trump's halt to communications from the CDC is delaying release of research findings re: risk of H5N1 spread from infected dairy cattle to bovine vets and from infected dairy workers to their pet cats.
