Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

#FlowerReport:

This morning, in San Jose, California.

.

A close-up photo of a sprig of several catmint flowers. They are small and light-purple, with a large "fan" petal below, then two smaller petals on either side, and two slightly longer petals above. The top of the sprig has purple and green buds, and the background is blurred green leaves in shadow.

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

According to a recent @biologicaldiversity.org petition filed with government regulators, the US should tighten policies that allow high pesticide residue levels in our food. Here's what a strawberry (and a piece of bread) have to say.

#ECK #birds #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #Stunday

Three male Mallard ducks taking off from the reeds at the side of a lake. All three birds are more or less centre of the shot and all are facing left so that’s their left sides are visible. The nearest (on the right) is about a foot off the water surface with its wings in front of it in a downward beat, its head is level with the ground. The second is a little lower and has its wings back behind it in an upward beat. The third still has its feet touching the water and its body elongated upward, its wings are behind it and high.
They have a yellow bill and a glossy, iridescent green head with a narrow white ring on the neck. The breast is chestnut brown, the body is grey; turning to white in the underbody. They have a distinctive purple-blue speculum on their wings, which is bordered by white. The feet are orange.
The foreground is short reeds with water visible in between and the droplets and splashes from the birds can be seen throughout the foreground, particularly under the birds and to the right.
The background is a mass of straw yellow grasses and reeds

Seven Brent geese coming in to land at the coast. The image is in black and white and six of the geese are centre of the shot with the seventh towards the top right.
They are a small sea goose, about mallard sized with a completely black head, neck and breast. They have a distinctive white neck patch. The body is grey-brown with pale flanks and belly.
The foreground is the shallow water of the bay with a straight line of rocks covered in seaweed running from left to right just below the centre of the shot. Behind that is more water with the shore, covered in seaweed, in the background. This turns more rocky as you reach the top of the shot.
