Nisqually national wildlife refuge is so much cheaper than therapy. I always feel so relaxed after waling on the boardwalk. Today we saw bald eagles, harbor seals, kestrel, a bazillion different types of water fowl, and a blue heron.

If you are a government worker DO NOT TAKE THE RESIGNATION OFFER!
Congress has NOT appropriated the money to do that, and that asshole is a GDMF LIAR!
Keep your job, make them fire you, and then fight like hell.

The russians proudly planted their flag near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, Ukraine—until a Ukrainian drone politely reminded it that it wasn’t welcome by promptly shooting it down.

Stephen Miller was the architect of Donald J. Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda in his first term. Now he is back with fewer internal rivals and even more influence with the president.
