Customs and Border Patrol Reverses Its Big Bend Border Wall Plans Kristi Noem gets fired, unpopular ideas get shelved right away

Many of you have probably heard of the absurd plan to build "the wall" through Big Bend National Park. Well, the same day Gnome was fired, the wall plan seems to have been shelved too.

Travis County election wait times listed on this map, plan accordingly! Plenty of short wait times but loving the yellow and red notes. Make a plan to vote today! Polls close at 7pm. votetravis.gov/current-elec...

It's primary day in Texas and *Democrats can't lose.* Both Crockett and Talarico have huge strengths; the GOP candidates—Paxton and Cornyn—are weak. Dems are urning out in record numbers, even beyond the last presidential primaries. Be a part of it! goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...

Primary election today in Texas y’all. Go vote.

TEXAS go vote in the primaries today!

Gov, Lt Gov, congressional and state candidates all to be determined today! It matters, go #vote.

Get out and vote in the primary tomorrow, friends in Texas!

And don't forget to vote for @ginafortexas.bsky.social for governor!

A fluffed up burrowing owl, very round shaped

Maximum round!

Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute)

When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold!

Cute and convenient! 🪶
