Trump not knowing who he pardoned, if he pardoned them, or that they are a crypto CEO who just gave his family a $2 billion deal and then received a pardon, is a way bigger controversy than Biden and an autopen.

I’m retired but do know about criminal organizations, As I looked at the females and innocent children gathered in my home, I couldn't help thinking about the fact that the current government is protecting an international cabal of Human Traffickers who have and are Sexually exploiting children.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

This filled some gaps in my knowledge of the this region of the west during the 19th century. Washakie's mother was from the Lemhi Shoshone like Sacagawea. He grew up in the Bitterroots but ended up leading the Eastern Band of Shoshone in the Wind Rivers. He lived to 96.

This is a good watch. There’s a big chunk of my Mexican family (SW Texas) that supports Trump. The boomer & gen X especially which blows me away considering how many of them were marines. I made the wrong assumption that they’d be disgusted by a man who is clearly a traitor to our country’s values.
To understand as to why Latinos for Trump ignored Black people and our warning about him leading up to the 2024 election, this sister nails it. And, to be clear, not all Latinos feel this way, but the anti-Blackness is what got us where we are today.

Hey, Idaho! This will be important to look to as Meta finishes building a 1 million square foot data center in Kuna, Idaho. Are you okay with poisoning the land and water for Facebook?
Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.
What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.
And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

This further highlights the danger of relying on hatchery fish instead of devoting efforts that promote the recovery of the wild runs that remain threatened/endangered. Without hatchery fish, there would be no sports fishery. The costs of those low production dams is much higher than people realize.
This is a colossal screw up. 1.2 million salmon killed. “The alarm system connected to the pump, which would usually warn staff of a pump failure, also failed.” www.ktvb.com/article/news...
