"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market.

- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I just realized that when it finally happens we'll probably find out first through a bunch of insider trades on betting markets

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Cardinal Cupich says feds stopped priests, demanded citizenship proof (RNS) — ‘I’ve had some priests who are of a different color being targeted and arrested — stopped — because of their color and asking them to prove that they’re citizens. That’s not America,’ the Chic...

NEW via me and @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social: Cardinal Blase Cupich, who runs the Archdiocese of Chicago, says that DHS has stopped priests under his purview and demanded proof of citizenship “because of their color.” religionnews.com/2026/02/10/c...

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

Republican Frostbite - The American Prospect Defense of ICE has become a political loser, and the deal to trade reforms for continued funding is off the table.

The trade of "reforms" to ICE for funding for the Department of Homeland Security looks more and more like it's off the table, Bob Kuttner reports.

This is a really good discussion of “applied” AI in a non-coding/SWE space.

The vibe of the Halftime Show

I had no idea that my gneeration's greatest use would come in being able to tell people on the internet who Ricky Martin is

I don’t really know what’s happening right now but I know the worst people in the world are being deeply triggered and, frankly, that’s enough for me

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

apple seems to be getting worse in a lot of ways but I've had an account with iCloud, messages, etc longer than I've had a driver's license so I'm kinda stuck in the the whole ecosystem

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

J.D. Vance Has a Burnt Monkey Testicle Problem The GOP Ohio Senate nominee's investment in a biotech firm that does testing on live animals is raising questions about his true values BY TIM DICKINSON OCTOBER 25, 2022

I have zero bandwidth to develop the idea, but the last decade has given rise to a gulliblity style, where a source’s statement is treated as the story regardless of whether it’s true or plausible. It creates stories that are technically true but functionally misinformation. You see it everywhere.

A Trump ‘Blockade’ Is Stalling Hundreds of Wind and Solar Projects Nationwide

Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

Remarkable scene tonight in Rockland County where the County Legislature is meeting to pass legislation to restrict local police interaction with ICE.

This is a VERY pro-law enforcement area…yet the anti-ICE demonstrators have FAR outnumbered pro-ICE demonstrators in Mike Lawler’s backyard.
