We ended up with an enormous head of cabbage, so it became my version of a New England boiled dinner. Started with peppers, carrots, onions, Yukon Gold potatoes, smoked sausage, fresh garlic, added homemade chicken stock, bay leaf, thyme, pepper, added the cabbage last.

“After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” Marco Rubio wrote on Monday. (trib.al/nBk143S) Now, the staff has been directed to shred and burn classified documents—an illegal move under the Federal Records Act.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

The cancellation of the lifesaving assistance for starving kids abroad is really a galling one. This stuff was grown by American farmers and manufactured by American workers. This spreading of American bounty and good will long had bipartisan support. newrepublic.com/article/1921...

Exemplarity inspires solidarity. Leading by example shows others what is possible and creates a ripple effect of unity and action. Be the spark that ignites collective strength.

Not buying a thing tomorrow, not investing, not burning gas going anywhere, not watching the Monster’s Ball in D.C.

New data suggest Trump's already spoiled his own honeymoon period; Trump's new grift; MAGA judges threaten Dreamers; Biden’s last-minute executive orders to Trump-proof democracy; and updates on Mar-a-Lago, TikTok, and more! Watch Legal AF at 8p ET/5p PT!

Don’t let anyone ever try to silence you on social media. Keep speaking out. Block trolls. Screw the haters. Today’s post—The Power of Your Social Media Presence:

After Fox co-workers told media he was often drinking or hungover while at work, Pete Hegseth challenged people to find a single clip showing him drinking on the job. We accepted the challenge.

“These are the shoes I wore when I broke the record for fastest time from floor to bunker in Senate history.”

To resist is to refuse to accept the unacceptable. It’s the spark that ignites revolutions and drives progress.

Erdogan is already capitalizing on Assad’s fall. Supporting the Kurds, whose role is pivotal in shaping Syria’s future, remains crucial. Despite uncertainties, Assad’s removal marks a profound moment of hope for Syria’s renewal and progress.

“Americans are realizing it’s not trans people or migrants who hurt this country—it’s the exploitation by billionaires who are rigging the economy and perpetually pulling the rug. Americans are realizing corporate media are rug pullers for the oligarchy.” open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

🐄 Seaweed slashes cattle methane A @pnas.org study shows that a seaweed-based feed additive can cut methane emissions in grazing beef cattle by 37.7%, offering a promising path to climate-smart agriculture. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #SciComm 🧪 🍎

I forgot about this & I'm curious how significant it is? Seems like there's only 1-2 studies since 21 & 23? 🧪 ⚕️ Not a huge natto fan tbh, even as someone who'll eat nearly anything. But I do like them layers, iykwim 🧀😷

Trump is already the most corrupt president-elect. And his incoming cabinet a bunch of free-riding enablers. I break it down in less than 60 seconds: youtube.com/shorts/t13CC...

The PRESS Act, a federal reporter shield bill, already passed the House unanimously. Trump wants it dead.

Misinformation, a lack of logic used, ignorance of the world we live in, and flat out laziness, is our undoing. It literally takes seconds to research anything to learn facts and truths. So why don’t people do it? 😢

Scrolling through pics and found last summer’s blooms. David Austin(yellow) “Graham Thomas”, and a “Just Joey”.

Our eastern WA and OR colder winds are picking up here, pretty blustery out there. They’ll hit western WA and Oregon later tonight to mingle with warmer ocean air. Batten things down outside over there! Photo courtesy of Whidbey Island News. Be safe, all you affected.

It’s not “cooking”, but it’s a dreary, dark, rainy day here in NE Oregon. I think a cup of Lady Grey tea with honey and lemon in a cheery cup, is in order.

It’s Saturday! Visit the library. Support Public Television. Let your kid try an instrument at the music store. You try an instrument at the music store. Buy books from a bookstore. Pay off a bill. Listen to Beethoven’s “Eroica” while you clean the fridge. 🙌🏾

I know people are angry, and we’re being told to practice self-care. Ok, but! All citizens who care about this nation need to step up NOW and contact every Republican representative in both houses and get on them! Here’s how: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

He’s not even sworn in and his decisions are already chaotic. Misadventures and mayhem from the gate. Every single Republican representative in every state, and federal level needs to be told they will be held accountable for his incompetence and the outcome of what he is allowed to do.

Hillary was right. Kamala was right.

"My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor," Florida attorney Joel Leppard told ABC News.
