“In 2017, Gabbard made an unannounced trip to Syria to meet President Bashar al-Assad, the country's authoritarian leader. The trip sparked bipartisan criticism.

Gull in Motion
This ring billed gull (Larus delawarensis) passed me by at the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico.
"Familiar acrobats of the air, Ring-billed Gulls nimbly pluck tossed tidbits from on high. Comfortable around humans, they frequent parking lots, garbage dumps, beaches, and fields, sometimes by the hundreds. These are the gulls you're most likely to see far away from coastal areas—in fact, most Ring-billed Gulls nest in the interior of the continent, near freshwater. A black band encircling the yellow bill helps distinguish adults from other gulls—but look closely, as some other species have black or red spots on the bill." - allaboutbirds.org
