Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Another rainy morning, which I like, and this is what the orchid shelf is looking like. I need to rearrange everything to fit in a big Sharry Baby that needs better/more light to bloom...but that seems like too big a project right now...

Sorting out old photos, including these from Easter 2019 in Sicily (which was colder than the UK!). Orchis brancifortii, Orchis italica, Neotinea lactea, Serapias vomeracea all from the stupendously rich turf between Trapani and Zingaro, NW Sicily. @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Khanna: "The speaker looked frazzled last night. I think he's totally lost it. He's attacking the bill and he's not showing up to hear the survivors. The survivors wanted this bill. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. And he's lost the confidence of half the people in his own caucus."
