🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

One of several work sites today. Seems calm in a snapshot, but the pond is teeming with life. Blue-spotted salamanders, boreal chorus frogs, several crayfish species, and a thriving abundance of macroinvertebrates. Looking forward to seeing how it changes day by day.

Snow day after 62 degrees on Saturday. White-winged scaups, goldeneyes, and tons of red breasted mergansers on Lake Michigan today. One confused song sparrow and killdeer disappointed to be back early.

Reyes began by reading the ban language: "Transgender troops are disqualified from service without an exemption."
The Justice Department lawyer said Hegseth was using a kind of "shorthand" and didn't quite mean the ban as written.
Judge didn't buy it.

Snowfall in WI was disappointing this year, but today's rains are encouraging. Hopefully enough to bring the wetland critters out of the duff layer and into the ephemeral ponds soon.

* Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE
All replaced by less qualified white guys.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court
