Today is World Bee Day.

There are around 20,000 species of bees in the world, yet honey bees gets most of the fanfare.

Here’s to the sweat bees, the leafcutter bees, the mason bees, the longhorn bees, the bumble bees, the carpenter bees, the squash bees, and all the rest of our unsung bee heroes!

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

In case it gets lost in the onslaught of news, today PBS and NPR are defending themselves before Congress.

If you’ve never seen this clip of Mr. Rogers advocating for PBS funding, I urge you to watch the full ~6 minutes. It’s incredibly powerful.

Here’s to the helpers, indeed.
