WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

People are looking at using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for capturing CO₂.

In general, we win by making sure that as bad things happen, and bad things are happening in lot of different ways, people know that they are happening and that they need to blame republicans.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

ust one more example of Copilot getting facts wrong We asked Copilot() for a list of UN countries and immediately noticed something was wrong. There are 193 countries in the United Nations not 194 so where is the other country? The answer is complicated. =COPILOT(“list of UN countries, include headings”,”show short name, full name,date of UN entry and continent”) Copilot has added Vatican City which isn’t a member, only an “Observer” but at least there’s a note. Even more curious is Palestine which is also an Observer member only but is listed by Copilot as a full member which joined on 29 Nov. 2012. That means Copilot has two non-members listed and there must be one member country not listed. If that wasn’t enough, all the Central American and Caribbean countries are lumped into the “North America” continent which isn’t what most people would expect.

Different results on the same page! For no explained reason, “Gold Coast Airport” appears in this Copilot() result (B17 result and below) even though it’s not shown in another result on the same page (Cell B3 and the spilled cells). All it took was small and irrelevant changes in the prompt.

We are so SO MUCH TROUBLE

“They may try to take away our 501(c)(3) tax status, which would be devastating. But I would rather be a truth-teller and taxed, than to be silent and untaxed.... To bend would also dishonor the legacy of those who did not bend. You got to stand, even when people say sit down."

“We didn’t take any federal funding at our sites. You can get philanthropic support. You don’t have to take federal money. And if the federal government is involved and tries to take away the essence of these cultural institutions, I would advise them to tell the government, ‘Keep your money.’”

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

Have you have been following the Defense Department's attempt to prevent reporters with credentials from publishing anything that hasn't been approved? Well, by sticking together they appear to have won that fight. But there's more coming. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b... [gift article]

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

In 2017, Jessica was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. During a chance visit to the museum she encountered a thyroid with a nodular Goitre. Recently she sat down with our Human Remains Conservator, Cat Irving, to discuss how this visit helped her come to terms with her cancer diagnosis.

Note there’s no mention here that all of these mortgage fraud claims have been found to be absurd/false on the merits

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Hard to believe this attorney general can pursue justice with impartiality when she is dripping with such partisan disdain.

This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but if a sentence starts with ‘per’ it’s usually a bummer.

Federal workers not entitled to back pay after shutdown, budget office claims Federal workers may not be entitled to back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration’s budget office wrote in a new draft memo obtained by The Washington Post, ratcheting up te...

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown.

This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

We really need to be thinking abt the current regime through the lens of the Second Klan, which helped to nationalize systems of Jim Crow state & vigilante violence & exploitation while creating an explicitly white nationalist immigration system. They even paraded down Pennsylvania Ave.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: RFK Jr. is a threat to the health of Americans It was our duty in office to warn of dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk.”

Six former surgeons general condemn RFK Jr.

The Situation: Just Asking Questions I have a lot of them.

"Do the majority of Americans actually want to live in a constitutional republic?

Can a constitutional republic function in the absence of shame?"

In The Situation, @BenjaminWittes.lawfaremedia.org is just asking questions.

Sorry about that, lawyers. All that stuff you learned in law school doesn't matter anymore.

Unlike doctors. All the stuff we learned in med school and thought we'd never have to actually know about is now becoming very critical again (measles, diphtheria, pertussis)
