@nanthomas6 @LolaPatolla I named a female fawn Clover, 2 summers ago. But they were going with things that went with Daisy, I think.

🚨TRUMP IS NOT WELL

This rally is a bust. He’s seated. He’s mixing up major details.

He just claimed he pardoned a farmer in prison for seven YEARS for fixing a tractor. He was as a diesel mechanic in prison for seven MONTHS for tampering emissions. Trump’s mind is mush.

[Wake up Sunshine @CyElBu]

So is this a NO PRINCES & NO PRINCESSES rally?

🚨 The situation is completely getting out of control.

Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion. 🇦🇱

The Albanian people refuse to become a new Palestine. 💥"

🚨 BREAKING: For the third consecutive time, the Arctic Refuge lease sale has failed to generate real industry interest. No major oil companies. No credible path to the revenue this administration promised.

When will this administration stop gambling with one of the most sacred landscapes on earth for a return that has never materialized, and never will?

We’d like to introduce Daisy’s puppies but we need extra extra prayers for Clover, the smallest boy.
He’s struggling 😭.
They are doing everything they can for him but positive thoughts & energy for Clover is appreciated 🙏🏻♥️

Didn’t know this was in the works.

Update on the Mares first night at the Bridge Sanctuary

[The Bridge Sanctuary @TheBridgeSanct1]

"Courage, dear heart." ~C.S. Lewis

They are so brave. I know they haven’t figured out what’s happening or that they’re safe yet. And they have no reason to trust us at all… but they do, and then some. They lean into kind voices and soft rubs.

Both girls had a good first night here, they ate almost all of their hay and drank a ton of water. They also lied down in the soft, fresh bedding. A lot.

They ate every bite of breakfast and got a nice, cool hose off. I wanted to get the kill pen funk off them and get those gross stickers off their tails, and both stood and enjoyed the shower.

The flies, ugh the flies. They are biting this year so they both got The Bridge Supporters fly mask/fly boot treatment. Aren’t they so cute?

They’ll get a proper bath and tidying up in a few days….

I’ve gathered some information about them and I am putting the puzzle together and when it’s all in place, I’ll be able to share. For now, we wait for signs of babies…

Since yesterday we received $370 toward our June hay fundraiser/pregnant mama vet bill ($660) and our total raised stands at $1,800, $4,800 from goal. Thank you for the donations Karen, Lizabeth, Patty, Joanne and Lori. We appreciate them so much.

(and no I won’t divulge the changes we have coming here at the Bridge soon, lol. I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, pardon the pun, but it’s going to be great for everyone! Stay tuned!)

Despite all the attention on the poor young pregnant Daisy and her 4 boys, 1 of whom isn’t doing well, Rescue Coop ALSO stepped up for this sweet abandoned girl who seems to be about perfect. Better days are ahead for her now. Donations MATCHED today, if you can help. 🐾

[Lola Patolla @LolaPatolla]

It’s $5 Friday!
We also saved Lila 🥹♥️.
After receiving a text from a transporter in GA with this picture, how could we not?
Lila needs spay, a small mass removed & a dental.
She is the sweetest girl.
If you’d like to help, we thank you! 🤍

Of course he did.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

An extremely dangerous maggot that eats human flesh called Screwworm has just been found for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

This comes after Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬

[Wake up Sunshine @CyElBu]

More illegal dealings by Trump that will now have to be challenged in Court. Why can’t the man leave well enough alone? He needs only his loyal lackeys and no one else is allowed a say. 🤬

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.

Here's what happened:

He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.

These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.

Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.

A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).

The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.

But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.

With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.

And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.

The threat does all the work.

By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.

Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.

If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.

Nothing is too harsh for this evil man. 🤬

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

russians just struck a baby food factory near Kyiv.

Yagotynske for Children — the plant that produces milk and food for Ukrainian infants and small children.

4 killed. More may still be under the rubble.

This isn’t war.
It’s the deliberate killing of civilians who feed Ukrainian babies. Pure evil.

[Wake up Sunshine @CyElBu]

Trump fired everybody with any scientific knowledge that could be used to counter this. I read the way they reduce the screw worms is by making sterile males. The females only mate once in a lifetime so if she doesn’t get fertilized, she can’t reproduce, the numbers go down.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

The Trump Administration fired hundreds of experts that were dedicated to preventing the spread of these dangerous pests.

[Wake up Sunshine @CyElBu]

Gov. Abbott needs to be on Trumps ear, or the TX Senators, otherwise he won’t even be aware of it.

[Meriwether Farms @MeriwetherFarms]

BREAKING: Three counties in Texas have declared local state of disaster declarations on the New World Screwworm: Kinney, Jim Webb and Uvalde

Three others are pending: Webb, La Salle and Val Verde

The reasoning behind these declarations is because they feel they are not getting the federal nor state support needed to combat this crisis

Its long past due for the President to declare a National Emergency Declaration so local officials on the front lines are getting the support they need

Here is another action by Trump, that I just have to ask WHY? What is the reasoning behind disrupting something that has been allowed and is working?

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This is going to not only put a lot of people on the streets it’s also going to displace poor animals that were trained to help people especially Veterans.
