Can anyone help me ID this fungus? Found in VA on the ground in leaf litter in mixed woods today, May 31. iNat keeps sending me to Amanitas (which it clearly is not) and Russulas (which I doubt). It's very hygrocybe-like (waxy, broad gills).

Can nobody stop this man? Seriously. Not Congress, not SCOTUS, not a single person in his cabinet or among advisers--e,g. his raft of cynics and cowards. Also not economists, not bankers, not Wall Street, not citizens, not the plain old facts. Astonishing. Below: from WSJ 10 Point.

Has anybody noticed that the words "girl" and "woman" have become--for right wingers--terms of ridicule & contempt?
Fox News mocks Peter Navarro's "girl math."

There is no rhyme or reason, just maniacal pleasure in destroying things at random, at whim.
Salt caves 2000 feet underground in New Mexico hold the radioactive nuclear waste from US defense projects. It's the world's only deep geologic repository.
And DOGE says it has terminated the very large office in Carlsbad that oversees it. Details 👇

How does one contact Pres. Zelensky? His official website does not have a "contact" function. I would like to leave a note of abject apology for the disgraceful way he was treated in the WH and tell him not all Americans are contemptible and some of us are cheering for his poor battered country.

Now that the entire American public has been marginalized, subject to the whims of sadists and vandals,under attack by the gleefully lawless, those of us who have enjoyed the privileges of middle class white Americans are getting a little taste of what the truly marginalized have felt all along.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.
Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.
It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

This at least partly explains why the GOP is so gutless about Trump's transgressions.
"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making"
"Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"
