It's nice that they're finally realizing they need to be prepared for these people to lie straight to their faces

The fucking blatant lying is just so insulting

Judge Emil Bove Faces Ethics Complaint for Attending Trump Rally

When I was a judicial law clerk in Montana, Pres Bush flew into the Billings airport for a rally.

I wanted to see Air Force One and asked the judge I clerked for if I could go. He said no, that it wouldn’t be appropriate.

And I was just a clerk. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

If this report is true then ICE essentially attempted this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskato...

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

“Country addicted to trucker speed, adderall, and nicotine is eschewing caffeine” is a pretty funny bit

It is interesting that the administration can order the Coast Guard to seize a vessel, rather than blow it up, when it wants to.

A federal judge has ordered the National Guard to leave Los Angeles and return to @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom’s control in a stern rebuke of the Trump administration’s contention that it can leave troops in the city indefinitely. bit.ly/3XNvsF3

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.

George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

We're doing literal military imperialism for oil

Gas Stoves Account For More Than Half of Some Americans’ Exposure to a Known Toxin, New Research Concludes - Inside Climate News The common kitchen appliance plays an outsized role in exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a toxic air pollutant.

Gas stoves play an outsized role in Americans’ exposure to harmful nitrogen dioxide pollution, a new study finds.

Apparently they changed their name and mission in 2022 ("in education" became "and expression"), so maybe this is something they should be speaking up about. I haven't seen them rep any religious orgs yet

Seems like a lot of voters might be interested in Trump's position on birthright citizenship, stated here, which would logically extend retroactively to strip millions of people of their US citizenship

JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury.

That means the grand jury refused to indict.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SKIPPED A GANG OF EIGHT MEETING????!!!!

Lmao, where are you getting the idea that I have positive feelings about Lukianoff?

I actually didn't realize that they formally changed their name and expanded beyond education in 2022. Convenient timing for them lol

Lmao I must regretfully concede that on occasion Piers Morgan gets someone’s ass

Also, I think if you are going to have someone like Fuentes on you are obliged to conduct the interview in Classic British Asshole (laudatory)

If you've been to a national park lately you know people come in wonder and reverence from all over the world. Wild that the guy who ran on "other countries are laughing at us" is clamping down on the best possible advertising for America.

I'm always down to clown on FIRE for their selective attention but this isn't a school!

Remember all those people who claimed Obama's IRS was persecuting Christians and their churches?

Where's the outrage from the American Freedom Law Center and Pacific Legal Foundation folks?

Comrade Donald knows how many pencils your child needs better than you do.

Petrostate money playing an increasing role in VC funding, esp after ZIRP ended and borrowing was no longer as cheap?

I'm curious if the recent changes to property tax treatment of large-scale solar farms will factor into these decisions at all? One argument behind eliminating the property tax exclusion for large MW arrays was to incentivize counties to site them bc they will actually see increased revenue from it

I'm not an expert, but I've learned a lot from following @heatmap.news and @jael.bsky.social on here. I've also enjoyed Matt Ferrell's videos on changing battery tech

Couldn't agree with this more. I personally work with very few quants and I'm always amazed by how impressed folks are when I make very basic pivot tables. Y'all give me way too much credit lol

I think the toxic current correlation between “studied STEM” and “techbro sociopathy” isn’t really about the subject matter itself but is about how our culture has spent 25 years constantly blowing smoke up the asses of guys who are even passably competent at Computer or Quant

The thing that bums me out about this is how much of the student loan debate centered around pushing for unilateral executive action on forgiveness rather than pushing for legislative change moving forward. Helping some people out of a burning building without doing anything to try to put it out.

Biden was the best we’re ever going to do on student loans because a very clear lesson there was that there is apparently absolutely no electoral benefit to moving heaven and earth to try and help student debtors

Lower level science classes are either weed-out courses for med-school hopefuls OR specifically tailored to students who won't take another science class.

Most schools have these interdisciplinary classes and we should teach more about the history of science in k-12 rather than truly hard science
