This proposed budget is a policy statement, not an appropriation.
There are still a lot of steps and potential changes ahead before it becomes one. This is not a time to sit quietly, team. Let's go.

Had a palette cleanse in the Florida Keys c/o this non-profit that rehabs injured/sick sea turtles.
So far in 2025, 2 out of 3 rescues (including Lenny!) have already been returned to the ocean, where they can do awesome things like eat jellyfish!
