Trump had been telling the same story since at least 2019
—but this time he gave his source a name: Bill Jones.

As yellow-eyed penguins disappear, conservationists focus on deaths in fishing nets
OTAGO PENINSULA, Aotearoa New Zealand — Sandfly Bay was long a key nesting area for yellow-eyed penguins (Megadyptes antipodes), noisy, pink-footed birds that spend long days foraging at sea. But this wild beach on the Otago Peninsula, like others nearby, has gone quiet. In 2024, the last breeding-age female at Sandfly Bay, who’d been consistently […]

Another car chase 😫 A car just sped south on Folsom past 18th St followed by five shrieking cop cars. I hope no one gets seriously hurt or killed in this one. It was grossly irresponsible to give SFPD expanded permission to initiate car chases for nonviolent crimes (March 2024 Prop E). #sfpol
