I’m old enough to remember when Howard Dean hootin and hollerin a little too loudly was enough of a scandal for him to drop out of a presidential race.

Public health, Science and evidence based medicine much like a river will find a way to keep flowing during this time. Sad it's coming to this, but alternatives are important and needed right now.

Yeah, but that polling is conspicuously missing the 0-5 year old demographic who might personally identify with the temper tantrums of the current administration.

White House demolition photography is being curtailed (if not outright prohibited)

/ht @jimsciutto.bsky.social

Tweet: WH itself appears to be aware this is problematic:

CNN: Staff at the Treasury Department received an email on Monday instructing them to refrain from taking photos of the construction happening on the White
House's East Wing after images of demolition in preparation for President Trump's new ballroom went viral.

"As construction proceeds on the White House grounds, employees should refrain from taking and sharing photographs of the grounds, to include the East Wing, without prior approval from the Office of Public Affairs," the email reads, according

Yeah, a lot of hot sauces are fermented, Sriracha and Tabsasco sauce are probably some of the biggest names in those. For the jalapeños, I’ll be making a green chili taco sauce so after it ferments, will be chopped and spiced fine.

First day post harvest madness underway: taco sauce starting to ferment, bruschetta in a jar ready to can, first batch of salsa verde in the hot water bath. So much left to do. 🌱 #gardening #preserving #peppers #tomatoes #oklahoma

Heck it could all be in my head, we tend to garden by gut feeling 90% of the time. 🤣🤣🤣

Nathan Lorenz @lostinok.com · 3d

To be honest I don’t know, I’ve never experimented with all of the peppers we grow. I’m lazy and tend to harvest the hot peppers in batches and then finish them all in October when we want to switch out the garden. The ones that seem to suffer the most from the cooler temps are the Thai chilies.

We are preserving most of ours this year by making most of it into Salsa Verde this year (we are following the Ball recipe for that) and also making pickled green tomatoes. This YouTube channel has a ton of other ideas for green tomatoes: youtube.com/@1870s?si=Ca...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

I don’t know, I find all my hot peppers, especially my Tabascos and jalapeños really go down hill fast as soon as the temps go into the 40s. Admittedly I picked a ton of tomatoes green that could go a bit longer, but that’s because we are planning to do salsa verde with the
peppers.

The fruits of tonight's mad dash harvest of the feral garden to get as much picked before the cold snap starts signaling to the plants to slow down. I think we have some work to do. 🌱#gardening #oklahoma #okwx
