Mosquito Bucket Challenge - Homegrown National Park Natural mosquito control: The Mosquito Bucket Challenge is a safe, affordable way to control mosquitoes without harming kids, pets, or pollinators.

Instead of spraying for mosquitos this summer, try the Mosquito Murder Bucket!

It's cheaper than paying a company and doesn't kill all of the beneficial insects in the area.

Hoping that Crockett campaigns hard for Talarico -- her energy and her passionate supporters would be tremendously helpful.

I also want her to do that because it keeps her in the game, keeps her relevant. She's been one of my favorites in the House and I'm sad she won't be in the next Cognress

That's one of his strongest positions and why I feel fine about his religiosity.
After all, some of our greatest leaders (MLK) were very religious.

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

I hope every country he asks to use their military bases tells him to self-fornicate in a vat of acid. Cyprus paid when the UK said the US could use RAF Akrotiri. Fortunately no casualties, but it's a matter of time.

The replacement cost for the three planes shot down in Kuwait: $360 million.

The cost to feed every student in Wisconsin breakfast and lunch for 2 years: $311 million.

Our priorities are fucked.

Voters push for change in closely watched NC primary contests NC primary voters roar: Near tie in crucial NC Senate contest, close finish in key congressional race and several incumbent legislators upset.

"Overall, 19.5% of registered voters cast ballots in the primary election β€” about half voted early. That’s just shy of the 2022 midterm primary’s 19.8% turnout, and higher than the average midterm primary turnout."
That's sad but I think it's fairly standard

Likely they are lying about their religious beliefs.
But some religions oppose vaccines, e.g., Christian Science. Parents have let their children die rather than give them life-saving medical treatment (and some were appropriately prosecuted for doing that).

WATCH β€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

What's with the NY Times displaying Roy Cooper's primary win in purple instead of blue, while republican Whatley is still dressed in republican red?
On another note: Total Dems voting ~825K

He surely did. He's a lot smarter than trump and plays him very well.
But as @rachelmadnow.bsky.social pointed out, this attack was also doing the bidding of several gulf nations who had been heavily bribing various trump family members.
An unholy (truly) alliance of MBS & netanyahu.
