Don’t let #mosquitoes suck the fun out of your summer. Prevent them by minimizing areas that collect water around your yard:
Cover pools, discard debris, turn over buckets, change bird bath water frequently. More at heyor.ca/SThOF2

Mosquitoes
Not only a nuisance, mosquitoes can pose a serious health threat to people. Disease can be spread to people through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Cherry farmers in my district in The Dalles are leaving hundreds of tons of cherries to rot because workers are too afraid of ICE raids to come harvest.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

“Everyone knew the river was polluted, but nobody much cared. If anything, it was a badge of honor. As David Newton writes in Chemistry of the Environment, ‘Fundamentally this level of environmental degradation was accepted as a sign of success.’”
And why was the EPA created in the first place, by a GOP POTUS?
Because the Cuyahoga **River** caught on fire. **AGAIN**. In the same year. More than a dozen times in total.
