Mexico needs to build desalination plants
By Rossana Pineyro
For the first time (click here) in more than 80 years, the U.S. has denied Mexico's request for water from the Colorado River, escalating tensions over a water-sharing agreement between the two nations.
The State Department says it denied the request because Mexico hasn't complied with the 1944 treaty that established the water-sharing system. That agreement requires Mexico to send 1.75 million acre-feet of water from the Rio Grande to the U.S. every five years. In turn, the U.S. must send 1.5 million acre-feet of water to Mexico from the Colorado River each year.
By the end of 2024, Mexico had delivered only a quarter of what it owed for the current five-year period, which ends in October. Mexico has been struggling with severe droughts for several years. In the first quarter of 2024, the country's agricultural production fell by 6.1 percent, according to a report from the Bank of Mexico. Activity in the north-central regions, which includes the border states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo León, fell by 3.3 percent. The country has sought emergency water deliveries to alleviate the strain on its water systems....
Family farms have it rough enough, now Trump is making it worse.
Green Bay Zoo needs help with a missing otter.
Evidently two otters were able to escape their enclosure and were missing. One returned, but, the other did not. If there is a chance a young person thinks they are caring for a wild otter, they would be mistaken.
Please return the missing otter to the zoo. His friend misses him.

Reality check
When is a government buy out of its talent not a government buy out?
When it is a Trump political stunt.
Oh, yes. Those employees are no longer working, they were basically laid off with pay until September 30, 2025.
September 30, 2025 is the end of the fiscal year. A new federal budget starts on October 1, 2025.
The money the federal employees are receiving are their BUDGETED SALARIES. They are not receiving a buy out.
This is a political stunt for Trump to satisfy his ravenous followers expecting him to, like in “The Apprentice,” fire them. This is a hoax.
The way the corporate downsizing of the federal government SHOULD HAVE taken place, was to supply notice to all the EMPLOYEES their jobs would be eliminated at the end of this fiscal year. In doing so, those employees could find new jobs or look to transfer into jobs still existing but vacant.
This so called “firing” is fraud. The employees should be at work supplying valuable services to the people. Social Security lines should not be out the doors with Americans suffering waiting for their rightful help.
Trump is committed fraud and the employees receiving the so called “corporate buy out” should return to their jobs and allow their services to be eliminated PROPERLY by department leaders who are capable of downsizing their departments effectively and efficiently.
The American people should be outraged at the Trump White House for carrying out fraud and attempt to coup their effective government. Any congressional member “playing along to get along” should be looking at a recall election. Now.
