Happy #HagfishDay! We found this #hagfish inside a sponge while exploring Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2018. The #Pacifichagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) is a slender, slimy, primitive fish found in cold waters worldwide.

On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans.
