Studying frog habitats has to be the third most innocuous federal research activity possible. Counting snips and snails would be the other two. We are told this was an “isolated incident” and not part of a broader trend, while Dr. Fauci is pilloried by Rand Paul and Josh Hawley. Frustrating.

The two men were arrested for abducting U.S. Forest Service scientists studying frog habitats at a remote Northern California lake.

Scarborough, this one is for you from @mainedsa.org on IG. The town is holding a special session on Wednesday regarding ICE- let them know how you feel via the petition and by showing up. 🖕🧊 Petition at docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/...

It's insane that we even need to say NO DATA CENTERS ON PUBLIC LAND! Sign on to the petition below, and follow @biologicaldiversity.org for more ways to oppose this next threat against OUR lands.

Trump just quietly approved the construction of a #DataCenter on #PublicLand in southern Nevada — the first data center allowed on public land. We've already filed an appeal against this dangerous development, but we need your help to show the scale of public opposition ➡️ bit.ly/4fGlM7W

Tonight, we are suspending our campaign for US Senate, and I’m proud to endorse my friend, Troy Jackson. To our team and volunteers who gave everything around the clock with almost no notice: I’m so grateful to you. This fight is bigger than any one person. See you on the doors this November.

It's looking more and more certain we'll have a Rumble from the County in November as more candidates leave the race and Troy Jackson gains endorsements. Troy is from Allagash, while Susan hails from Caribou. @aroostookdemocrats.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

When you call Susan's office today, ask how concerned she is that the 🍊🤡 just ran right over over her fake pride at getting traffic stops reduced. Come on, Susan. Do something real for once.

Susan Collins assured the people of Maine yesterday that she persuaded Markwayne Mullin to stop ICE traffic stops. Trump overruled her.

For a local size comparison, the North Maine Woods is around 3.5 million acres. Protect public lands. Protect tribal lands. Keep up the pressure, even when things seem lost.

BREAKING: President Trump just stripped protections for nearly 3 MILLION ACRES of public lands. Bears Ears and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments are home to world-class recreation and they're the ancestral homelands of Tribal Nations that have stewarded them since time immemorial.

Some good news. (Not the cost or the people who I believe are still unaccounted for after being sent there, but the fact that pressure helped to close that abomination.)
