Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) has decided he’d rather fight Donald Trump from the governor’s Boettcher Mansion instead of mudslinging from the upper chamber.

In 1970, Joni Mitchell penned the protest song Big Yellow Taxi after visiting Hawaii and seeing how developers had destroyed the local ecosystems’ natural habitat. It works as an anthem in today’s world, too, with lyrics such as “Hey, farmer, farmer, put away your DDT. I don’t care about spots on my apples; leave me the birds and the bees, please!” Abusive pesticides started poisoning crops 80 years ago.
