Porcupines were persecuted as pests throughout much of the 20th century. Now wildlife managers are concerned that populations have failed to recover in the decades since state bounties were banned.

Whether you’re Democrat, Republican, Independent, liberal, conservative…whatever…nobody wants a power-hungry billionaire who ignores the Rule of Law! Nobody wants a president who views the Constitution as something to overcome! And lastly…nobody wants a king in America! 🚫👑

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Kristi Noem is in Portland today. She should see the real Portland—a city that’s peaceful and filled with people who care for one another. Instead of feeding Trump’s political theater, she needs to rein in the federal agents brutalizing peaceful protesters.

Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she's been sent by Trump to incite violence. Don't tar and feather her as Speaker Johnson suggested for Governor Newsom. The best response to her playacting as cop? Ignore her and keep supporting our community.

Trump says he’d invoke the Insurrection Act if “necessary.” He describes Portland using the word “insurrection” twice—on purpose. And no, Portland has not been “on fire for years.” He knows it, you know it, the world knows it.
Trump: "Portland is on fire. Portland's been on fire for years. And not so much saving it -- we have to save something else. Because I think that's all insurrection, criminal insurrection."

🚨LIVE FROM TEXAS

It’s day 5 of a hearing on whether to block the Texas GOP’s new congressional map, which could give the party an edge in the midterms. Democracy Docket’s Jen Rice is one of the few reporters still on the ground, and the hand behind the whole scheme takes the stand this week👇
