Thinking of my friends and colleagues at Maine Sea Grant today. An American Pollock from the Gulf of Maine. We do great things at Sea Grant and I hope we can continue to do great things for the people of coastal states. #SeaGrantStrong #SundayFishSketch

Dear US friends. I hear you feel ashamed. Know that the world outside of US is well oriented as most of our media is not deceptive. Do not carry the burden of shame. That belong to your President, administration and deceptive Greedy Old Party. Shame do not serve you. It takes your power away. 1/10

Here is a better copy of the letter. 😊🦋

Repeat after me: DOGE has already illegally shut down much of the government. DOGE has already illegally shut down much of the government. DOGE has already illegally shut down much of the government. Keep that in mind as Democrats "debate" a continuing resolution "strategy." #ItsAlreadyShutdown

One of Norway's largest fuel companies, Haltbakk Bunkers, has refused to refuel US Navy ships due to Trump's scandalous behavior at yesterday's meeting with Zelensky. "This is betrayal!" they declared. As a result, the Virginia submarine returned without fuel.

It's weird how TASS accidentally gets in, but they're sure about keeping AP and Reuters out. Either we have a national security issue that is so painfully basic they should fire everyone involved, or they're lying.

NOAA Fisheries is vital for both ocean health & human well-being. It safeguards marine ecosystems & species, ensures sustainable seafood, and supports coastal economies. Without it, overfishing, habitat loss, and food insecurity would threaten us all. Protect our oceans—protect our future!
