You value this. You're here. No. Other. Broadcaster. Would do something like this hour-long video. Share it with your friends and family who need it, because it's PBS and it's free.

Everyone asking for a Democrat fighting back:

We have them. You’re just not paying attention or you’re relying on the media who wanted Trump back in the first place to tell you about it.

Happy Birthday to Rachel Carson, marine biologist, author and environmentalist extraordinaire, who was born on this day on May 27, 1907, in Springdale, PA. Her book Silent Spring and other writings are credited with igniting the global environmental movement. Shining a light on the dangers of chemical pesticides, the book led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides and ultimately led to the creation of the EPA.
