From JD Vance to Ted Cruz, the GOP’s gleeful embrace of a lie is what happens when a party funnels its ambitions into bigotry.

      “Mallards are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. It is illegal for any person to take, possess, transport, sell, or purchase them or their parts, such as feathers, nests, or eggs, without a permit. Active nests with eggs or chicks may not be touched or destroyed without a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Inactive (empty) nests do not require a permit to destroy. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not issue permits to remove Mallards, eggs, nor nests that are occupying a pool or an enclosed yard.”

        Nobody really eats mallards aside from hunters, as far as I know the ducks you find in stores are a different breed (I don’t know enough about ducks to guess what breed)

          Yeah, but we’re talking about catching ducks at the local pond.
