Reporter: Why should taxpayers pay $1.6 billion for January sixers?

Trump: It’s being very well received. I know very little about it. I wasn't involved in in the whole creation of it. This is reimbursing people who were horribly treated.

Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. Turn up the volume to hear all the vocalizations.

The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs National Park.

We captured this surreal footage because we started a study to understand the survival and mortality patterns of deer in our area this winter. As part of that work, we GPS-collared several deer in the area in January. 

In late March, we received a mortality signal from a GPS-collared deer and found the carcass buried under a pile of leaves on a hillside—a tell tale sign of feline predation. 

We suspected it was likely a bobcat but thought, just possibly, it could be a cougar. So we put up two trail cameras on the cached deer carcass and 4 hours later, two cougar kittens returned to the kill.

The entire family showed up that evening and spent hours in front of our cameras. In total, we captured 7.3 hr (435 minutes) of video footage of these animals. We will share more footage soon!

Huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting the Voyageurs Wolf Project and the recent effort to understand deer survival in the area. Their support was critical to this observation—without it, we would never have captured this footage.

And huge thanks to the >10,600 donors who have supported our project and enabled us to purchase trail cameras supplies. The cameras (and batteries, SD cards, mounts) we set at this kill were purchased with funds from donations.

Yes so true.

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

You can hear Jaylen yell “that’s not basketball.”

He’s right. A bunch of stars have adopted this specific “drive hard left, draw contact on a semi-impossible shot, then flail” move and it keeps working. Refs have to stop calling it. It sucks to watch.

Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: “Why is the FBI director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?”

[Kurt Decker @mntrailrunner]

Yep all you folks still on the Trump train? There is still time for all of us to save ourselves.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Trump: "I am allowed to cut off any and all trade…I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country, I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country destroying embargo…I can do anything I want to do to them…I'm allowed to destroy the country, but I can't charge a little fee."

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

Jack White on Donald Trump's racist meme about the Obamas:

"This post would basically get anyone, at any job, fired immediately...except for arguably the most important position in the world.

"That's right, Trump is a racist, a rapist, a felon, a grifter (currently ordering the U.S. government to pay him $10 billion simply because no one will stop him), and a full-on dementia sufferer, and yet he has the power to send in Gestapo ICE soldiers to klll our citizens, and so much more dangerously, he has the nuclear codes and the ability to end humanity at any moment based on an egotistical whim.

"How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power? The two-party system, the Electoral College, the responsibility the internet has brought to humanity and its direct conflict with truth, and America's obsession with celebrity, are all to blame, but the fact that we aren't stopping it is…insanity.

"Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th Amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man.

"This longtime friend of pedophile Epstein, who appears 40,000 times in the files. This demolisher of the White House, demolisher of the Constitution, demolisher of the Bill of Rights, this demolisher of America, full stop.

"It's hard to believe the government does almost nothing about this lunacy and we all just have to sit back and watch as a people. And when he's finally gone? we had better put into place new laws and regulations that don’t allow anyone to find dangerous loopholes based solely on the assumption that our President has some sort of dignity and decency.

"Abolish these loopholes. Abolish the Electoral College. And if we had any sense, we would abolish the two-party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place and has failed not only Americans, but everyone else in the world who is currently suffering from our policies and the whims of this sick, deranged man who I will state again, has his tiny, bruised fingers on the nuclear launch button."

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Donald Trump had the racist, bigoted audacity to post an AI-generated video depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

Most of us already know who Donald Trump is. We already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace. So while his behavior is not shocking, it is certainly disgusting and disturbing.

But when will it be enough for those who continue to stand beside him? When will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior? Your silence is complicity — and it is very loud.

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

President Trump is suing the federal government for $10 billion. Billion with a B. Guess who decides whether to pay? Guess who pays?

I am sorry when folks in news like my local people are giving us info from DHS the same folks that told us ICE agents where trying to push car out of snow when we all saw that was false I can’t believe you.
