Swalwell and Platner were credibly accused of being rapists and Democrats handed them their walking papers.

Donald Trump IS an adjudicated rapist and Republicans handed him the White House.

Any questions?

Dear World,
Please, never forget these past 26 days we spent together just watching matches and talking ball before the world's most hated man figured out a way to make the World Cup all about himself. I am so sorry.

Sincerely,
Just a regular American.

Trump's DOJ had a court order to release the remaining Epstein files and simply refused. That should be a much bigger story right now.

@GSO_Police Meteorologists are simply not humans. Or maybe they're just humans that don't live in the south.

Swiss farmers planted flowers between their crops and watched pest damage drop by over half. The UK is now running the same trial across 15 farms. The reason this works is embarrassingly simple.

A Swiss study on winter wheat found that fields with wildflower strips had 40 to 53% fewer leaf beetle pests than fields without. Crop damage dropped 61%.

The mechanism is simple. Wildflowers feed hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and ground beetles. Those insects eat the aphids, beetle larvae, and caterpillars that farmers would otherwise spray for. A few meters of wildflowers hosts an unpaid pest control crew that would jump at the chance to whoop some aphid ass.

In apple orchards where no insecticides had been used for five years, plots with wildflower alleyways had 9.2% damaged fruit. Control plots without flowers had 32.5%.

The UK is now running a five-year trial across 15 farms placing 6-meter flower strips through the middle of fields, not just at the edges, because the beneficial insects can't reach the center of a large field otherwise.

This works the same way in a backyard vegetable garden as it does on a commercial farm. Plant native flowering species near your tomatoes, beans, and squash. The pests still show up, but the predators show up too.

@Angry_Staffer Are they not reporting because it'd suck to have the flags at half staff this weekend?

I'm no Democratic socialist, but yesterday the New York City Council approved $1.5 million in funding to help keep pets with their families.

This includes much needed funding for spay/neuter surgeries supporting pet owners, rescuers and TNR volunteers.

It also included funding for pet food pantries to make sure no family has to choose between feeding themselves or feeding a pet.

This is the kind of investment that can help reduce stray animal populations and help people be better pet owners. It's something that could be done all across the country.

If this is "socialism," sign me up. 🐾

If a nurse gives a Senator $50 to vote for Medicare for All, it's illegal.

But Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, spent $45 million to get Trump elected. So Trump is helping his family control:

CBS
CNN
TikTok
HBO
TNT
MTV
BET
And more

That’s a corrupt campaign finance system.
