Something I don't see every day, or any day, really: an American Bittern perched right our in the open in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. These birds are usually skulking around a wetland, but this one spent a few days visiting the city. It's cousin, a Least Bittern, was also nearby. Crazy! 🪶

I know there are very pressing concerns to the people and institutions the Trump administration is targeting.

Soooooo, they needed time to clean him up, get him some decent clothes, a nice beard trim and a new hat. Seems legit.
Instead of coffee, how about just letting him get on the plane with the Senator and come home? It’s all smoke and mirrors, folks.
