My thoughts on this video: LA City hall is deeply corrupt and any energy to expose it I’m with it.

The only thing worse than The Hills is Nithia’s campaign

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: nytimes.com/2026/05/30/opini… I welcome your comments.

Rabbits are the third most surrendered animal at US shelters, and the biggest wave is hitting now. Easter bunny purchases from March and April are wearing off. Kids have lost interest, parents have realized the rabbit needs 8 to 14 years of daily care, fresh hay, a vet who knows exotics, and as much attention as a dog. The unwanted rabbits are arriving at shelters by the carload, and they'll keep arriving all summer. If you've been thinking about getting a rabbit, adopt from a shelter or a House Rabbit Society chapter. Don't buy from a pet store, a breeder, or a farm supply chain. Every shelter rabbit you skip is one more animal who's already lost a family once. And remember: domestic rabbits don't have wild-rabbit instincts. Setting one loose outside is almost certainly a death sentence.

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.

Locals didn’t think Roundup was being sprayed near Lake Tahoe. So @natethecurious went to find out. Nate dug up maps from the Forest Service's website, and headed to a spot where one of them indicated spraying might already be happening. Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area since April, when our yearlong Mother Jones investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate—the main ingredient in Roundup—is to spray forested areas, including this massive new project around Lake Tahoe. As the public outcry grew over the past few weeks, news begin circulating on social media that the Forest Service was backing off. “They cancelled the plan!" one person wrote. "People showed up to meetings, called our representatives and it’s finally cancelled. OUR VOICES MATTERED ON THIS ONE.” But that wasn't true. At Sierra-at-Tahoe, Nate stood on a mountainside that clearly had been doused in glyphosate. The plants around him were nearly all dead—killed with the controversial herbicide, which the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has deemed a probable human carcinogen—and that a 2020 report from the US Environmental Protection Agency said likely harms 93 percent of endangered species. You can read Nate's full report at MotherJones.com.

The animal crisis in LA is finally being addressed. The suffering and mass killing of dogs being condoned in Los Angeles has to end. The first step towards change is not ignoring it which is all current "leaders do." The animals deserve better. Enough is ENOUGH. #standupforpits

We would very much like to see journalists look into the massive public relations push by JPL to discredit Shelby Eidson's independent report into the Eaton Fire response, based on her interviews with first responders. Was Altadena left to burn while they protected the lab? Why?

If I do anything good with my life, let it be convincing people that balloon releases are littering and kill wildlife.

If we save the beagles at Marshall—the Deathstar of vivisection—we basically save them all. Let's do it!

🔥This is very INTERESTING: WHO just did a full 180° on the Andes hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. Yesterday: ➡️ No isolation for passengers/crew — even high-risk contacts — unless symptoms. Today: ➡️ ALL from MV Hondius = high-risk contacts, ➡️ Must isolate 42 days from disembarkation (until 21 June for today’s), ➡️ Daily follow-up, no work, minimal contact, ➡️ Masks: Wear FFP2/N95 respirator for any unavoidable interactions 🤔 From nearly zero to maximum precautions! Very special 180° UPDATE, but a far more understandable one, aligning with precautions many countries already took!🙏 Thanks for the info @_CatintheHat👏

2,000 beagles survived hell at Ridglan Farms. Eyes removed, vocal cords cut, unimaginable cruelty. They were rescued and 8 of them were brought to WNY to find their forever homes. I will fight to END taxpayer-funded animal testing on dogs and cats. See the saved dogs here ⬇️

The massive Utah data center, called the Stratos Project, will be as big as 2,000 Walmarts, will need 9GW of electricity to run, and will generate the heat equivalent of 23 atom bombs detonating every single day in Hansel Valley. The expected impact of wildlife is catastrophic. sltrib.com/news/environment/…

This spring, federal agencies plan to spray glyphosate—the world's most controversial and widely-debated weedkiller—across thousands and thousands of acres of public land. Land where families camp, hikers explore, hunters pursue game, and children swim in mountain streams. And almost no one knows it's happening, reports @natethecurious. Glyphosate, introduced by agri-giant Monsanto in 1974, has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Bayer, the multinational conglomerate that acquired Monsanto in 2018, is now on the hook for over $12 billion in legal settlements and payouts to thousands of people who claim Roundup gave them cancer and other serious illnesses. Scientists have also linked the chemical to decimated Monarch butterfly populations, mass frog die-offs, and widespread ecological damage. And yet in February, President Trump signed an executive order declaring glyphosate critical to national security, invoking the Defense Production Act to guarantee its continued use and shielding its producers from legal liability. So why is one of the most litigated chemicals in American history being quietly sprayed across our national forests? To get to the bottom of it, my colleague Melissa Lewis and I pulled California pesticide application records going back to 1995 and analyzed more than 5 million data points. What we uncovered was deeply troubling: glyphosate spraying in California forests has quintupled since 2005—the fastest-growing market for the chemical in the state—and the public has been left almost entirely in the dark. This is the secret plan to cover the world in herbicide—that they don't want you to know about. Find the full 22 minute documentary on our YouTube channel.

LA County is deciding how to spend ~$48.8 BILLION. And most residents have no idea it’s happening this week. Here’s what’s on the agenda 🧵

A 90-year-old woman emailed me this week. She told me she was raped by her doctor 60 years ago. "A woman lawyer told me not to prosecute him because I would be dragged through the mud," she explained. I get emails like this almost every day. These women aren't asking me for anything, except to acknowledge them and their pain. They want the world to understand that they have been silenced by a system in which men say "eight years ago?" as if there is a deadline that expired for their trauma.

Trump's plan for defeating a person strangling him: placing his hands round his own throat and squeezing.
