🚨Not one, but 2 Magnapinna squid! 🚨
The #doldrums team observed 2 elusive Magnapinna sp., commonly known as bigfin squid, at approximately 4,300 m (about 2.7 miles). Sightings of these animals are extremely rare — seeing two in one dive is extra exciting!

BREAKING: Pennsylvania HUMILIATES Trump by refusing to take part in his ludicrous and wasteful “Great American State Fair” with a scathing announcement.

Every single blue state needs to do this...

“Unfortunately, due to the high cost to taxpayers and not being able to secure PA businesses to sponsor the booth, Pennsylvania will not be a participant in the Great American State Fair,” stated a spokesperson for PA's Department of Community and Economic Development.

While the 16-day taxpayer-funded bonanza is ostensibly designed to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, it's painfully obvious that the entire affair is just another pathetic attempt to flatter Trump's ego. Freedom 250, the group organizing the event on behalf of the President, has insisted that it's "nonpartisan" with a "track record of collaboration."

But Trump himself has already let the cat out of the bag.

He launched the fair with one of his characteristically divisive speeches on the National Mall and plans on holding a full-blown MAGA rally on July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial before the fireworks show. If you think for a moment that that speech will be anything other than a semi-coherent rant torching Democrats and touting his imagined achievements, you haven't been paying attention. This man is pathologically incapable of uniting this country.

“This President routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal—and it shouldn’t be that way,” said Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro.

“It reflects this sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in — that the President has politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want to participate,” he said.

Pennsylvania joins seven other Democratically-led states that will not be participating in this farce of an event. The others are Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington.

We commend these states for standing up to the White House. Americans can't afford groceries and Trump wants to burn through more of our tax dollars on yet another pointless, bloated tribute to his failed presidency. Enough is enough.

Please ❤️ and share to urge the other states to boycott!

BREAKING: HELL YES! Delta Air Lines announces an immediate end to its special privileges for members of Congress until the MAGA government shutdown ends.

Now they'll have to suffer with the rest of us peasants...

“Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” Delta stated. “Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”

The dedicated service desk in question allows lawmakers to obtain government rates for trips, make ticketing changes at the last minute, and book multiple seats on multiple flights on the same day to make it easier for them to come and go for votes.

The decision to end the special treatment for members of Congress comes as airport lines have grown ludicrously long in recent days due to a failure by the Trump administration to reach a deal on DHS funding. The TSA falls under DHS so the partial shutdown has them understaffed and stretched thin. Many employees are going without pay and over 400 have quit.

“TSA officers just received $0 paychecks. That is simply unacceptable. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to put food on the table, put gas in the car and pay rent when you are not getting paid,” several airline executives wrote to Congress earlier this month.

At the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta alone, travelers were urged to a lot at least four hours to pass through TSA. Under total Republican control of our government, everything is falling apart. Illegal wars are being waged overseas as our domestic situation spirals into chaos. Trump can't even keep our airports orderly.

Rather than strike a deal with Democrats to end this burden on the American people, Trump has flooded his undertrained, violence-prone ICE agents into airports around the country. They're predictably terrorizing and detaining innocent people already. On top of that, he's now calling for the DHS funding to be tied to his voter suppression bill, increasing the likelihood that this shutdown stretches on.

If the rest of us have to deal with the negative consequences of Republican leadership, the least that the airlines can do is make them feel our pain!

Please ❤️ and share to thank Delta!
