So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I attribute my having a dream last night about not wanting to trade a dead incandescent strand of Christmas lights for LED to having watched the dishwasher pods video yesterday

The thing with Ohtani for me is that he has exactly one comp in baseball history, and it's a guy who was regarded as mythical even in his own time. And Ohtani's more talented than *that*

Metro-North to extend service to Albany, competing with Amtrak service The extension marks the first time trains will run between Grand Central Terminal and the state capital since the 1960s.

"New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday announced the northward expansion will launch in the spring, noting it will be the first commuter train service between Grand Central and Albany-Rensselaer since 1967. The new trip will serve as an alternative to Amtrak trains..." gothamist.com/news/metro-n...

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Dems: “Sorry, we can’t talk about this. We’re too busy proving we care about protecting Americans from random street violence”

New Jersey PBS to go dark following Trump’s public media cuts NJ PBS will cease operations next year due to the combined forces of federal and state funding cuts.

NJ PBS’s closure comes on the heels of Penn State’s decision to shutter WPSU, the university’s NPR and PBS affiliate.

A Montco college lost its federal grant for first-generation, low-income students, and other schools worry they’ll be next The U.S. Department of Education ended funding for Montgomery County Community College’s Upward Bound program, and President Donald Trump’s administration has delayed funding for other programs.

We couldn’t agree more, @schiff.senate.gov. The corruption we’re seeing today began with Citizens United. Sen. Schiff’s legislation would take meaningful action to strengthen our democracy and restore power to the people.

Oseguera caught another break from the Trump administration. The president’s campaign to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally has taken federal agents away from drug-traffic interdiction. In Arizona, two Customs and Border Protection checkpoints along a main fentanyl-smuggling corridor from Mexico have been left unstaffed. Officers stationed there were sent to process detained migrants. A senior administration official said the U.S. border is more secure than it has ever been. Colombia is producing records amounts of cocaine, and the volume of the drug arriving in the U.S. is driving down prices, the people familiar with cartel operations said. Cocaine prices have fallen by nearly half to around $60 to $75 a gram compared with five years ago, said Morgan Godvin, a researcher with the community organization Drug Checking Los Angeles. “The price of pure cocaine has plummeted,” Godvin said.

The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

Kristi Noem joined ICE in a Chicago raid this morning. Agents blew the doors off a U.S. citizen’s house, handcuffed him, and put him in a propaganda video even after realizing it was a mistake.

This is America under Trump. No one is safe.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day

We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

What Ras Baraka and the members of Congress who stood with him are doing is exactly what anyone with an ounce of privilege or power should do, and that is to stand in broad daylight and tell the truth and not stop no matter what twisted lies are thrown at them.

The Supreme Court is about to let religion ruin public education Two recent cases suggest that the era of secular schools is coming to an end.

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

Thank you Greyhound!

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.
