The Trump administration used the Endangered Species Committee to sell out the vulnerable wildlife in the Gulf in favor of the oil and gas industry. This is yet another corrupt power grab by Trump, and protections for the Gulf must be restored. I've introduced a bill to do so.

The Trump administration is removing restrictions on hydrofluorocarbons, greenhouse gasses widely regarded as "super pollutants." 190 countries have banned or restricted hydrofluorocarbons.

Y'all, I don't wanna be too optimistic, but I think there's a real chance we're gonna be able to bring cigarettes back inside

Rep. Adelita Grijalva has introduced the Extinction Prevention Act, which would provide $20 million to protect America's most endangered species.

@jjreeves Thanks for making my birthday special, bruh

Happy birthday to my first and only love aka big dog Lindsay Reeves

They kill dogs, especially hunting dogs, too.

Price's map is exactly what the Republicans making the post-racial argument claim they want. Racially balanced, almost to the point of being neutral, geographically sensible. The only reason they will reject this is it gives Black Democrats a fair shot at 2 seats. #lalege

@jjreeves Double checking on it

Framing conservation as essential for human survival, Ted Turner saw habitat restoration, stewardship and endangered species work as ways to address climate change, the loss of biodiversity and resource depletion. apnews.com/article/ted-tu…

Alarming changes are being implemented in more than 50 national park sites in the Lower 48 states. A leaked memo directs park staff to weaken hunting and trapping regulations, threatening the long-term protection of wildlife and visitor safety. bit.ly/4umwvtG

NEWS: The Trump administration is now "reviewing" whether the Rice's whale is actually endangered. There are only about ~50 of those whales left in the Gulf of Mexico. Last month, the "God Squad" gave the oil industry a pass on the law that requires them to protect those whales.

@jjreeves @McDonalds Which one would I like?

Incredible. Schipol @McDonalds kiosk prompted me for "3 crazy sauces" during checkout. How could I say no? I received 3 packets labeled "HEET", each with 1 to 3 pepper 🌶️ emoji presumably to indicate the heat level. I've seen what Euros consider spicy so I skeptically began with the 🌶️ 🌶️ packet, "Moeilijk", which was like a sweet chili sauce consistency. I immediately regretted not getting a Coke Zero. I couldn't believe this is legal in the EU. It genuinely has some zip. I decided to go down to "Best Heet", a creamy chipotle style sauce. Very good but it hardly registered as I was reeling from the first packet and scared about the last one, which was 🌶️🌶️🌶️ "Kapot Heet". I physically flinched when I bit into the nugget I put a drop of Kapot on...and it was fine. Really good smoky spicy flavor but it should have its pepper emoji rating swapped with Moeilijk. All in all 10/10 nuggets experience, this will be the benchmark against which future nugget posts will be judged, I hope the team behind this project and their families are proud of this contribution to the culinary arts

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.

One of the world's rarest whales lives in only one place: the Gulf of Mexico, where the Trump administration wants to expand oil and gas drilling that scientists fear could push the giant mammal to extinction. to.pbs.org/4sUKB5a

The National Park Service ran on a $3 billion budget and generated $56 billion in economic output in 2024. That’s over $17 back for every $1 invested. With a record of 332 million visitors last year, Americans clearly care about their parks and expect them to be funded.

America's Best Idea v. America's Worst Administration

The Boundary Waters are a national treasure, and its pristine lakes and rivers must be protected for the benefit of future generations of Americans. The Republican Majority in the U.S. Senate voted today to strip away protections for the BWCA, allowing a foreign-owned mining company and serial polluter to begin a sulfide acid mine in the headwaters of the Boundary Waters. We don’t allow mining in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion, Acadia, Glacier, or any of our nation’s revered national parks – and we shouldn’t allow it in the watershed of the Boundary Waters, either. One hundred percent of copper mines have failed, leading to polluted waters. This case will be no different. Because of this extremely short-sighted vote, our nation’s most-visited wilderness area faces the threat of permanent toxic pollution. Why? So Antofagasta, a Chilean corporation that owns Twin Metals, can mine American copper and ship it to China to be smelted and sold on the global market. Twin Metals has been lobbying President Trump and Republicans in Congress for over ten years to remove the protections from this watershed and renew their mine plans to extract American minerals at the expense of freshwater for future generations. The science-based evidence is overwhelming: The mineral withdrawal is the only way to protect this wilderness, which is home to some of the cleanest water in the entire world.

@indianred504 It has not more than 4 but not fewer than two arms. I like how the eagle looks upon the "aircraft" in horror.
