Trump pardoned Jared Wise, a January 6th rioter who repeatedly urged the mob to β€œkill” police officers there. He called the cops Nazis and β€œthe Gestapo”

The same Jared Wise currently serves as a senior adviser in Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice.

Why Autocrats Hate Their Capitals Trump and OrbΓ‘n both seem to view their governments’ seats as foreign.

In light of Trump’s announcement he’s taking control of DC, I’d like to repost my piece from @thebulwark.com on how autocrats hate their capital cities.

These places are often far more diverse and progressive than the leader’s vision of the nation.

How will Trump’s attacks affect higher education?

Let’s look to history

Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions

Hitler destroyed them

How long did they take to recover?

They haven’t

The Nationals have 11 hits off Justin Verlander this afternoon. Paul DeJong just hit a two-out RBI double to extend Washington's lead to 5-0.

All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.

What’s your favorite food fact that is true but sounds totally made up?

I’ll start: about half of the mushrooms produced across the United States of America each year (more than 300 million pounds of mushrooms in recent years) are produced in *one county* in Pennsylvania.

Closers in Phillies history with 3 straight 1-2-3 saves in their first 3 appearances as a Phillie:

Hardly surprising, Hegseth is very clear in his 2023 book that he does not think women should be allowed in the military at all, even if they are just as good at the job. He had to disavow for his Senate confirmation but it's a long time view of his

Did they just rebuild the exact same stadium in Texas? I expected it to look different but it is like a clone?

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.
