I had the honor of sitting down with Opal Lee — the Texas legend who walked from Fort Worth to DC to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.
At 99 years old, she told me: "I’m gonna keep on walking to show some youngsters how it’s done.”
Thank you, Opal. We're walking with you. 💙

I really really like James Talarico.
Talarico: I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November.

Yep. Absolutely unbelievable. But not really. SOS DD coming out of the cult play book.
Delusional as usual from the White House.

OMG! What a photo! How awesome for you. 😊
A photography dream come true! On our last nest tour in Costa Rica, we had several opportunities to photograph the beautiful Royal Flycatcher. What a spectacular bird!

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

On Monday, a three-judge federal court panel with two Trump appointees restored an Alabama congressional map with two majority-Black districts for the 2026 midterm elections, finding that another map recently greenlit by the Supreme Court intentionally discriminated against Black voters.

This is the part getting almost no coverage: to rebuild what we burned in Iran, we need critical minerals. Minerals that China controls. The war in Iran costs more than lives and dollars, it’s handing Beijing leverage over our recovery. Full deep-dive on this at the link in my reply.

Gilded cage for the cuckoo bird. I offer this tip to the MDs treating the occupant.
