And it’s shitty chocolate.

The NIH’s 2024 budget of just under $37B generated $95B in economic activity in 2024 alone. 99.4% of new pharmaceuticals approved from 2010-2019 came from NIH-funded research. I’m hard pressed to think of anything that generates as much direct economic benefit as our NIH did before they destroyed it

You would think he would be better if this is true. We are all thankful he did not procreate.

Where’s the GoFundMe? I’m in.

People need to go to prison for these stories.

Russia helped Trump in 2016. Trump welcomed the help. The help made a difference to the election outcome. Some deny those facts because they are motivated to protect Trump. Others deny the facts because they are motivated to protect Russia. But the facts are what they are.

Who’s the moron who appointed Jerome Powell to be Fed Chair anyway?

The right to own a gun comes from God and no government can infringe it, but the right to not be apprehended at work by a swarm of masked men carrying weapons of war and then sent to a gulag in a country you've never lived in is a right that belongs only to people born in the US, and even then...

This should be a bigger deal, ya'll

Today in the further casual media normalization of wildly illegal trade policies that violate both US domestic law & our international treaty obligations

Very powerful from former FBI leader.” Under Patel and Bongino, subject matter expertise and operational competence are readily sacrificed for ideological purity and the ceaseless politicization of the workforce. At a time of simultaneous wars across the globe…this makes us all less safe.”

When your neighbor gets $170/month to pay for food, that's tyrannical big government that we're duty bound to dismantle. When your neighbor gets their door busted down by a swarm of masked ICE agents with weapons of war and then deported to an El Salvadoran gulag, that's freedom, NOT big government.

JD Vance just fucked poor people like they were a couch.

Hopefully there will be a city left when I visit in November.

How is this response not disqualifying? If you can’t testify truthfully under oath that you did not suggest telling the courts fuck you, then you have no business being a judge.

Let's review:

1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon

2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke

4. Trump bombed Iran anyway

5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities

6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

Opinion | Foreign Students Help Make America Great Trump has recognized this repeatedly, but some of his policies risk hindering American innovation.

In his two decades at Arizona State Univ, Michael Crow has been the most innovative and creative figure in American higher ed. (And I mean, in a good way.)

Here he makes a point that should be obvious to everyone except Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Trump himself.

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

If not Gestapo, why Gestapo shaped?

Despite Close Ties With Iran, Russia Stands Aside as Israel Attacks

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.
