Wonderful’s new distinction as California’s top sprayer of glyphosate, at least according to the most recently available data, could raise hackles across the political spectrum and with health-conscious and environmentally minded eaters.

We identified the top 100 sprayers of the controversial weedkiller Roundup in California—a state that produces more than three-quarters of the nation’s fruits and nuts and nearly half of its vegetables. Check out our new searchable database to find out who’s at the top of the list. bit.ly/3SqKXDZ

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

For those of you with elderly relatives or young adults who don’t know how to check their registration - talk to them, guide them to the online link, use your phone or theirs. Your small contribution towards the November Election can make a big impact. #CivicSaturday #MakeEveryDayACivicDay

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

The location of the line between federal and state control over migration has always been contested in the past, as it is now. It's Arizona's call how the state treats migrants once they are in Arizona. The feds do not have all the power. Now, rounds of litigation causing mass confusion and fear.

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

Did not know this granular detail. Our local Illinois Costco is excellent, clean, well stocked. I’ve never had to return fresh produce and have seen prices fall (coffee has reduced in price) as various global “issues” resolve. Sadly corporate Costco is not on here to receive the endorsement.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2w ago

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov · last wk.

One year ago, Minnesota was forever changed by a senseless act of violence at Annunciation Catholic Church and School. Today, we remember Harper. We remember Fletcher. We hold our kids close enough to feel their hearts beat and we move our feet towards peace.

The conditions in ICE detention centers are outrageous. Worms. Standing sewage water. Measles outbreaks. 52 people have died so far. No American - no matter what your view is on immigration - should stand for this inhumanity.

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

It will take some time on your part, but, it would be great if you could post mini biographies of previous laureates on here. Welcome to @bsky.app Fáilte romhat chuig Bluesky.

Nobel Prize@nobelprize.org · 2w ago

The only laureate to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories. The first Nobel Prize laureate to receive two prizes. The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize. Her name was Marie Skłodowska Curie and she made history.

Portrait of Marie Skłodowska Curie. She sits in a chair, posing for a formal portrait. She is wearing a dark dress with a detailed, patterned collar. The backdrop is a softly blurred interior setting with draped curtains.

Tonight, our headquarters Berlaymont lights up in the colours of our shared destiny. 🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine is defending the core principles that are at the heart of Europe: sovereignty, democracy, and the right to choose its own future. The EU’s solidarity with Ukraine is stronger than ever.

Low-angle night shot of the European Commission's Berlaymont building in Brussels, illuminated against a deep blue dusk sky. The left wing of the building lights up in bright blue and yellow to form the flag of Ukraine. On the right tower, a large vertical blue banner reads "DEMOCRACY" in bold yellow letters, accompanied by the European Union logo and the slogan "PROTECT WHAT MATTERS."
