Has anyone heard of this before? I was today years old when I did. Incredible beauty!
Pileus cloud: nature’s crown for the most aggressive storms. Formed exclusively over intense updrafts, they flash vivid rainbow hues when sunlight meets droplets of almost the same size - beautiful atmospheric optics. So incredibly beautiful and amazing! 👏

Point taken but not quite true. We'd still have the Irish?
🇯🇵 Without Japan, the world would have no instant ramen, karaoke, bullet trains, QR codes, emojis, blue LEDs, lithium-ion batteries, or a huge chunk of modern gaming and anime. Without Islam, the world would have no terrorism. Not all cultures are the same.

It’s very telling that restricting the ability of eligible voters to vote is seen as a win for Republicans.

ATTENTION BOOMERS: Bringing up the fact that you've voted democrat your entire life isn't something to take pride in. Politics isn't a sport. Democrats aren't the Yankees. And you're an idiot!

This is easily the dumbest thing I’ve heard all year. The fraud in the system is not the problem. Exposing the fraud in the system is the problem. That’s why they’re being prosecuted.
James Edward O’Keefe, 42, and Cam Higby, 26, both face felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft. Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=c_oqgTcY…

Long overdue.
I just cosponsored the Judicial Loyalty Act to require ALL American judges to be natural-born citizens. This is a commonsense safeguard to protect the Constitution from foreign influence and ensure those who interpret our laws have undivided loyalty to the United States. Radical judicial activism must be stopped. Every member of Congress should join me in supporting @RepPeteStauber’s bill.

Peggy put the brown folks in the back?
Donald Trump is the most corrupt American president we have ever seen. Full stop.

If you read about accusations of fraud and automatically dismiss it because the accused is either a woman, an immigrant, or a POC, then you are liberal moron! There is no other explanation.

Spent 30 years in nursing, is 70 years old, so obviously she has more than $300 a month for food. Specifics matter. Context matter. She's 70, so retired and receiving social security. She's 70, so those aren't her kids. Was she in a nursing union? Pension?
Joan Steenburgh is 70. She spent 30 years as a nurse taking care of other people. Now she's raising two kids in rural Virginia, and her food stamps were cut from $500 a month to $300. "You expect us to raise two healthy children for $300 a month," she says. "It's no way possible." So instead of enjoying retirement, she has to look for a part-time job. She's not alone. A food bank CEO in her area says up to 60 percent of the people coming to his food banks work one, two, even three jobs. They have jobs. They're still short on groceries by the end of the month. Down the road, a pantry owner says some of her clients now get $17 a month in SNAP. Her visits have doubled in two years. She's down to two weeks of food in her warehouse, and she says the community has always stepped in. She's hoping it does again. More than 5 million people have lost SNAP since Trump's bill passed. Every one of them is somebody's neighbor, somebody's nurse, somebody who works two jobs and still ends up at a food pantry.

And a moron like Chris Coons shouldn't have this much power over American citizens. Yet, here we are?
I’m calling for the Senate to subpoena Elon Musk and investigate his power to shut off a critical service Ukraine relies on to defend itself. No billionaire should have that much power over Ukraine’s future.

I wish the majority of the illegal aliens in America were White Canadians. We wouldn't have nearly as many activists/obstructionists, and we wouldn't be hearing complaints from ethno-centrist racists like Ms. Rivas!
Yesterday, ICE kidnapped 3 parents outside of Van Nuys Elementary School. Families and students should feel safe at school, not fearful that ICE will tear their family apart. ICE needs to get out of L.A. for good, and must be abolished.

I could probably count on one hand the number of Pennsylvanians who earn only the federal minimum of $7.25 This is a non-issue thats sole purpose is to divide us along class lines. Hohum.
No one can survive in 2026 making $7.25 an hour. Let me put that in real terms: If you work a 40-hour work week, that’s a little over $15,000 a year. That’s not sustainable. Despite that fact, another legislative session has come and gone — and while the House has voted repeatedly to raise the minimum wage, Republicans in the State Senate left town again and refused to even bring a minimum wage bill up for a vote.   It’s not okay. It’s time to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania.
