The #Cubs have lost 9 times in a row.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box. The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year. A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease. Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk." One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks. If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you. The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.

But they were “peaceful protesters” my ass.

~1600 of the terrorists who attacked the Capitol on January 6 were prosecuted. Not only has trump pardoned them, but he’s giving them $1.776B of OUR money. They could all become millionaires. If that doesn’t thoroughly enrage you, you’re a goddamn traitor.

This will never be erased This is sedition and it will haunt you for the remainder of your miserable lives

Images of food being served to sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli, published by USA Today. Supplies "are going to get really low" and "morale is going to be at an all-time low," one sailor messaged his mother: usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

Accuracy Matters.

Fuck this made me cry. This is worth 5 minutes of your day, especially if you’re a parent.

Is anyone else tired of all the winning yet?

My free live TSA wait time tracker just got a big upgrade. ✈️ 4 airports — BWI, EWR, JFK, LGA — pulled their public feeds yesterday. I got them back. 🚀 Added support for 5 more airports: BNA, CLE, PDX, PIT, SEA Link: tsa.fromthetraytable.com/ Reminder: I only pull live data.

Secretary Mike Johnson was caught on a hot mic talking to another Republican about how great it would be if the Save Act passes because they would lose about 18% of voter turnout which would be good for them since those would be people voting for Democrats instead of Republicans!

MARINES FOR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Now, Trump wants just 2,500 Marines, likely to seize the Islands in the Strait of Hormuz, They are 2 weeks away at the fastest. The problem is that Middle East Force commanders gamed this out 40 years ago and estimated we'd need 6,000 Marines plus all equipment spread across multiple Islands. The plan was to first take Larak, Hormuz and Qeshem (the Shark shape- one)/Hengam to box in Bandar Abbas. Break through the denied SOH then small landing parties to raid, Greater/Lesser Tumb, Abu Musa, Sirri, and then Kish. It would have a HUGE, detectable signature. Why didn't we do this in 1988 when they tried to sink our ships with mines? BC IT WOULD BE THE USA INVADING IRAN. Hundreds of thousands of Iranian Rev Guard and Basji would come out and bombard/suicide attack these islands from the mountains that hover over them. Also, resupply would be from UAE/Qatar bases, which will get hit again. They may not agree to do it. Then that means a supply chain that would have to come through a hotly contested SOH!? Madness. The MEU would have to launch Assault craft/LAVs/Hovercraft from off east of the Mussandam peninsula under view of the Iranian mountains, under fire from Shaeds, submarine drones, drone suicide boats or the mines we have not detected in the SOH. We don't have enough tracked amphibious armor, LCU landing craft or LCAC-100 Hovercraft to bring in the right size force to the beach ... and that force would be bombarded and suicide drones day and night. If the Pentagon would deign to bring the Expeditionary Sea Base ship from Italy to the Indian Ocean, SOF at least would have a secure platform ... but no movement so far. Add in the silly proposal of having the 82nd parachute jump into islands. If the IRGC wants it would have the makings of an American Battle of Hostemel. All of this is a STUPID concept that appears to be a hasty clean-up for lack of planning. BECAUSE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE MONTH AGO!

He really compressed 4 years of therapy into 60 seconds.

A big time MAGA Trump supporter decided to try and make Trump look good so he lowered his gas to under $2 dollars and only thought it would cost him a few thousand in loss and he then found out it cost him over $300,000 dollars so now he’s having to file for bankruptcy!

The SAVE Act is unnecessary and clearly a voter suppression tactic. Listen as he explains; it fails to address the nonexistent issue of voting fraud. Its sole purpose is to intimidate people from registering or voting. #DemsUnited

BREAKING: CBS refused to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas, after being intimidated by Trump’s FCC rules. Trump is worried that democrats are about to flip Texas. SHARE EVERYWHERE!!

This is who should be a billionaire
