Meet Gracie, one of our residents of the day! Gracie is one of the sweetest turkeys you will ever meet. Before coming to MMFS, Gracie lived a home with other birds. She and the others ended up roaming off-property, and unfortunately, she was the only survivor.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Thinking we’re going to claw our nation back in the 2026 election is like thinking we’re going to win the Boston Marathon by running it with no training. What are you doing TODAY? Have you called your reps? 202-224-3121 Made a plan for #NoKings 6/14? Signed up to write Postcards To Swing States?
