This looks marvelous! Excited to read it.

A Beautiful Day for Saying Nothing That chill in the air isn’t Jimmy Kimmel’s show being suspended. It’s just autumn!

Authoritarianism is like measles: Ignore it and it will go away. I have this guidance straight from Secretary Kennedy. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children The state’s elimination of vaccine mandates is a courageous first step toward decluttering itself of any excess kids.

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children

oops that was Johnson.

Tillis: compares “science” which is ”corrupt” and “data.”

“Do you know how the FDA approval process works?“ - Hassan commenting on how everything about the Covid vaccine has been public until RFK made a decision behind closed doors.

“You blame chronic disease, and yet you are not putting solutions on the table to expand coverage to all Americans.” Cantwell asking about the ACA, too. Tells RFK that the Northwest will continue leading where the US is failing.

Cantwell to RFK, Jr.: you are a charlatan.

Cassidy is playing an interesting game in his questioning of RFK Jr. He asked RFk if Trump deserves a Nobel prize for operation warp speed. And then asked RFK why he also thinks Covid vaccines kill people.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.

An amazing book!

I have been so fortunate to have a fellowship from the Library of Congress and I continue to use their collections. I am devastated by the catastrophic cuts to the institution that is home to so much of our history and memory.

I could not have written my most recent book without the resources made possible by the National Digital Newspaper Program. More information and ideas for action in the thread.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

I was going to guess Mesmer but on second read I see you mean more recently! 😂

This. From GU Law: “At Georgetown Law, we strive to live by the Jesuit concept of cura personalis – the care of the whole person. Our mission is to create a community where the many different and unique talents, abilities, and dreams of all our members are valued and can flourish.”

They took down the Friend’s house?!

Benjamin Franklin produced the very first chart of the Gulf Stream and then two more charts of it—here’s the final one, of 1786, showing Dr. Franklin in the lower right-hand corner, lecturing poor old Neptune, behind whom is the source of the Gulf Stream: the Gulf of Mexico

The last report for the state university system in Missouri showed $6.5 billion in economic impacts and 69,000 jobs. Trump and Musk are threatening that success. That is the message that needs to be shared in every state.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

“Lutherans” 🤣🤣🤣

If they succeed in this, a lot of Americans are about to realize how much these Lutheran programs do.

Missouri State University ends DEI efforts, closes Office of Inclusive Engagement MSU has stopped its diversity, equity and inclusion programs and closed the Office of Inclusive Engagement. The changes are effective immediately.

Most scholars I know--affiliated or not--just want access to resources behind paywalls--subscription journals, databases, books. No one I know is going "gee I wish I had AI tools to mine those resources for pithy, questionable syntheses." They can't even GET TO the resources. THAT is what they want.
