Trump sparked outrage when he appeared to revel in the tragic killing of Rob Reiner and his wife. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the couple’s deaths were “very sad,” but went on to say that Reiner was “tortured and struggling” and angering people with his “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Trump Suggests Rob Reiner Deserved to Be Killed Because of His Liberal Views

They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

Another great post touching on the impacts of changing climate on the types and abundance of species we find in forests.
Anecdotal evidence shows that snow in parts of the Presidential Mountains lasted until August during the mid 1900s. Now, snow is expected to last until about June and come back in October. And researchers project that New Hampshire will continue to lose snowpack over time.
A new study looks at how to protect rare plants in snowy patches of Mount Washington as NH warms
Snow banks help plants thrive in the mountains, providing water and nutrients for soil. But as climate change warms the atmosphere, their support systems are changing.

One thing I observed in the early months of this just 5 month regime is that, w/~ 2 exceptions, no one was gathering the farmers who'd been harmed by USAID cuts and climate change cuts to sue.
The political lesson of stories like this isn't "Too bad, sucker, leopards ate your face." This is ammunition for a broader argument: Republicans and Trump suckered rural folk, and will keep doing it until those voters do something about it. Which they can.
