I saw Trump’s press conference on the devastating collision at DCA. He was supposed to give the American people answers about what happened and how. But instead he just ranted and rattled off lies. A military helicopter ran into a plane because of DEI? Does he really expect us to believe that?

Trump declared the cartels are terrorists. Doing so qualifies 130 million Mexicans to be refugees under U.S. law! 😂. His “border wall” required 50 new roads to the border bypassing one of the most robust natural border barriers in the world.

Blue grosbeaks and blue jays, too.
One of the most dazzling birds in North America is the Indigo Bunting. Blue coloring in birds is structural rather than pigment. The structure of the feathers themselves are what is reflecting blue light. #BlueMonday

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
