This photograph shows us the other side of the Moon, which we usually do not see. It was captured by the Chinese Chang'e 5-T1 spacecraft.

Many layers and pillars of semi-opaque gas and dust overlay one another. These regions appear light blue and dark gray-blue. The first pillar starts at the bottom left and extends to the top right. There is one prominent red star, with tiny spikes at its tip. Lower on this pillar, there are several darker areas of dust that jut out, many with bright red stars that appear as small red dots at their ends. Below the top pillar are two slightly smaller pillars, both ending in dark gray-blue regions. The second pillar has a dark arch that looks like an upside-down L halfway down. The background of this scene is washed in shades of red. Toward the top center is a V shape. At its lowest point, the V is a brilliant red. There are only several dozen tiny bright white and blue stars in this overall scene. Larger stars appear redder and are embedded in the pillars.

The Pillars of Creation, seen here in mid-infrared by #NASAWebb, adds to decades of research about star formation by helping astronomers analyze the densest dusts and gases of the region, and improving the precision of their star-formation models: bit.ly/45ayCYi πŸ”­ πŸ§ͺ

A screenshot of a tweet by Melanie D'Arrigo with the text: "Two Republican men introduced H. Res. 7. It states that women's healthcare should 'address the needs of men... as they relate to women’s health care' and aims to make the practices of an anti-abortion clinic the national standard. Project 2025 in action." Below the tweet is a highlighted excerpt from the resolution, emphasizing the phrase "address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care."

Pay attention to the language they use. It reveals their true intent.

The Washington Post calls January 6 and the events leading up to it "election-reversal efforts." It has gotten Orwellian over there.

I will say again, support independent, pro-democracy media.

Supreme Court term limits? Senators push for constitutional change Bipartisan push for Supreme Court term limits gains momentum as poll shows majority support across party lines.


As a member of the President’s Commission on the US Supreme Court I ended up strongly supporting this change. In my view, it can be accomplished by an appropriate Act of Congress, without any need to amend the Constitution.

In March 2022, Tulsi Gabbard was introduced as "our girlfriend" on Russian state TV.

She's a dangerous choice for Director of National Intelligence, as US allies won't freely share intelligence with the
US due to Gabbard's support of Assad and Putin.

Gabbard will put US security at risk.

Cheney responds to Trump jail threat: β€˜Here’s the truth’ Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) responded to President-elect Trump’s threat that he would throw members who sat on the House committee that investigated rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021,…

"Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”
