BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

Vought promised to put federal employees “in trauma” - consider this, HHS employees are reading in the news about layoffs but most are not allowed to check their emails to see if they are affected because of the shutdown.

The Court, blocking Trump's deployment of Texas NG to Illinois: "not even the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one state’s militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

Courts & Litigation Criminal Justice & the Rule of Law Executive Branch The Justice Department's Dangerously Weak Case Against Letitia James Molly Roberts Friday, October 10, 2025, 12:20 PM Share On: f X in % 凸 Lindsey Halligan didn't have a strong case against Letitia James. She indicted her anyway.

NEW: “The Justice Department seemed poised to pursue an indictment against Letitia James on pathetically weak charges. Yet the charges that actually ended up in the indictment a jury returned on Thursday may somehow be even weaker.”

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"

So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

A master class from MIT in responding to authoritarian overreach:

Your “premise … is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.
… America’s leadership in science & innovation depends on independent thinking & open competition for excellence.

So they’re keeping the House in recess for another week (see his follow up)?

To delay the Epstein Files and, I guess, avoid the No Kings rally on 10/18?

They are in full blown pants pissing panic

A cGAS-mediated mechanism in naked mole-rats potentiates DNA repair and delays aging Efficient DNA repair might make possible the longevity of naked mole-rats. However, whether they have distinctive mechanisms to optimize functions of DNA repair suppressors is unclear. We find that na...

This is so cool! Four amino acid changes in the naked mole rat cGAS turn it from a DNA repair inhibitor into an enhancer

New data shows No Kings was one of the largest days of protest in US history The historic number of No Kings protesters and their expansive geographic spread are signs of a growing and durable pro-democracy movement.

From Harvard & UConn researchers on the June 14th No Kings Day protests. (report came out in August)

THIS is why MAGA is so spooked by the upcoming (Oct 18th) peaceful protests.

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.

MIT becomes first school to reject proposed ‘compact’ with Trump administration - The Boston Globe MIT president Sally Kornbluth said the university’s practices already “meet or exceed” the federal government’s list of demands.

MIT became the first university to reject the Trump administration’s compact of demands, after its president Sally Kornbluth said the school already “meet or exceed many standards outlined” by the federal government.

one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard — the running costs of an ED are vastly higher than for inpatient services, so you better be sure you have the volume and acuity to justify it

The 'journalists' at Trump's White House "antifa summit" are so sketchy that two were in the Capitol mob on Jan 6. Here's Savanah Hernandez cheering after the W Plaza police line collapsed. She walked in with the Proud Boys and whispered with Ethan Nordean, convicted of seditious conspiracy. 1/

Years ago I was teaching my gun history class and at the end of the quarter one of the students said that he was in the campus TPUSA chapter and they put him up to taking the class to spy on me but he felt bad about that because he loved the class and learned a lot and had a great time

this boils my blood

the very natural way she's holding the sign is also special

to cite one example: turmeric is a spice used in foods of my upbringing, partly because saffron is too expensive

the 'active ingredient' in turmeric (curcumin) is a promiscuous hit in 1000s of screens for bioactive drugs

yet now that non-specificity is turned into a limitless miracle cure

A Plea From Doctors: Cool It on the Supplements

what's so upsetting to me is that the people pushing these 'supplements' neither know nor care about the serious (and in some cases, irreversible or even fatal) harm they caused by preying on others's suffering and quest for relief

Potemkin watches, Potemkin President, Potemkin government

we told you, vivek.

I think I've said this before, but my only issue is clean, honest, respectful government

I cannot abide corruption

like eating drive-through on a car trip

it's insane for a sitting President to be threatening to jail a governor out of pique and shame

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.
