clear language laying out the administration's malfeasance regarding judicial packing. I doubt anyone of the majority party can offer as clear and reasoned a defense of the republican moves. Check out Sen Schiff as well.

as long as we're rebooting random stuff from the 80s, anyone think we should give Howard the Duck another shot? I mean, how many Hulk movies do we have?

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

this move by Sec Brainworm should surprise no one. Just straight up lying through the confirmation, and moving to seriously damage public health in the US

China: Address Tiananmen Massacre 36 Years On 36 years after the killing of countless peaceful pro-democracy protesters in Beijing, the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory of the June 1989 Tiananmen Massacre.

China still wants to scrub this from history. They're not alone, repressive regimes always want to rewrite history, like how Jan 6 in the US was a patriotic day of love.

when I need some lighter political entertainment, I watch Rep Moskowitz. Dude is absolutely A+ at trolling, particularly toward Rep Jordan, though not trolling Rep Jordan in this clip. Solid rhetorical chops on Rep Moskowitz.

Howard Lutnick says the 'great jobs of the future' will be fixing robots in factories Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC that maintaining robots in factories will be the kind of jobs people will soon do for their whole lives.

I can totally see everyone rushing to get a job repairing factory robots. I mean, yes, but also, the factory will have fewer total workers... because of the robots. How about for the folks that dont want factory jobs? He's not totally wrong, just tone deaf

Ten lessons

I was very fortunate to have Prof Rota in my brief studies at MIT. I think this is from 1997, but remains relevant today. Item 10 on this list is still important. Math is fundamental, so many other fields are really applied math in disguise.

1, Never give in to a bully. 2, isnt it "free market" for the retailer to explain where their pricing comes from? Does the Trump admin want government price controls?

Strengthening and Unleashing America's Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:SectionΒ 1.Β Β Purpose and

yes, because what America lacks is enough law enforcement resources. Go look up what your city or town already spends. Our biggest civic cost is already law enforcement. We dont need law enforcement to be more aggressive, data says they're already too aggressive.

This is the sort of research that America will cede to other nations if we chase off international students. If the US is to continue being an innovative world leader, we must welcome students, researchers, and faculty from all over the world.

US at tipping point for return of endemic measles The United States is at a tipping point for the return of endemic measles a quarter century after the disease was declared eradicated in the country, researchers warned on Thursday.

The republicans want us poorer, dumber, and sicker. RFK Jr will implement policies that will make these numbers worse. This is the country the republicans want you to live in, except for the American citizens that they're deporting.

Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan is accused of helping a man evade immigration agents and is arrested U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin says the arrest of a Milwaukee judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities is a β€œgravely serious and drastic move."

... and we're on to arresting judges. "No one is above the law" according to the AG, which really parses as "we can arrest anyone with impunity", the sort of thing done in authoritarian states, which is basically what we are at this point.

why is the SC even entertaining a hearing on 47's delusion of ending birthright citizenship? It's clear you need a constitutional amendment to change that rule... what the hell is the point of arguing it in front of the SC? Oh, right, the bought and paid for justices...
