Holy shit, have we worked with the same guy?

There was a guy that was the owner's favorite at a place I worked years ago. Among all the other shit he would regularly get away with, one time he wrote all over the door to another employee's office with a highlighter. Since that shit's permanent, the door had to be repainted. This guy owns the company now.

scrambling to understand the rationale behind the abrupt termination

Stop trying to look for any rationale behind anything this administration does. There is none.

and they could get a few Reps over

The entire Republican party is on board with Trump. There is zero chance of this happening.

Well for a different tactic, how about supporting a more progressive candidate in the primary? Just look at the NYC mayoral primary that just happened.

Nah, that's exactly what they want, so they can then appeal to the ultra conservative Supreme Court

That makes total sense in the West, but in DC, and in the Eastern US more generally, droughts are not nearly as much of a concern.

The last wild Atlantic salmon that return to U.S. rivers have had their most productive year in more than a decade, raising hopes they may be weathering myriad ecological threats.

Officials counted more than 1,500 of the salmon in the Penobscot River, which is home to the country’s largest run of Atlantic salmon, Maine state data show. That is the most since 2011 when researchers counted about 2,900 of them.

The salmon were once abundant in American rivers, but factors such as overfishing, loss of habitat and pollution reduced their populations to only a handful of rivers in Maine. The fish are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and sometimes only a few hundred of them return from the ocean to the rivers in a year.

The greater survival of the salmon could be evidence that conservation measures to protect them are paying off, said Sean Ledwin, director of the Maine Department of Marine Resources sea-run fish programs. The count of river herring is also up, and that could be aiding the salmon on their perilous journey from the sea to the river.
