My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Bit of crossover with the #birding folks for this #BlueSkyMonday. Folks were quizzing me about the egret and night herons back in the spring, and this 'urban lake' that I said I would see them at. Well, here's a little picture of the spot; Kiwanis Lake, in suburban York City, PA.

A summer evening peek for #PinkMon, the delicate riverside form of loosestrife, an invasive plant here. In the background, the towers of Unit 1, maybe resurrected for data center use ... and the infamous Unit 2, of Three Mile Island.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

It’s not too late. There’s a series of votes this week. If we can get 1-2 yes voters to flip and vote NO, we might be able to change the outcome. Please don’t give up. Keep calling members of congress. Keep calling!
