Whatβs really going on in Texas? I give you Rep. Jolanda Jones in two parts speaking from temporary exile while they deny a quorum to state Republicans. She lays out every bit of it out - chapter and verse. These Texas Dems are the real deal. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social

Dems should fight on every front.
If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.
Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

I was thinking about this today. This is about the best thing they could do. If everyone voted, the Republicans would have voted to redistricted the state. That means that none of the state Democrats would win reelection. They had nothing to lose.

Their NIH Grants Are Back. But Nothing Is Back to Normal.
Researchers say that picking up where they left off is complicated β scientifically, financially, and logistically.
The 900 grant reinstatements from @apha.org v NIH and Mass v Kennedy ruling are a huge win.
But itβs not a simple or complete fix.
Not surprisingly, turning research on, then off, then on again creates major complications, chaos and inefficiency. www.chronicle.com/article/thei...

Wil, and everyone else,
I am sorry for whatever is happening that has you in a bad place. Everyone does go through things, but we all need to know that you are not alone. Please, everyone, reach out and talk to someone about it. It can be a friend or a professional but talk to someone. It will help

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

AMA and other medical associations are kicked out of CDC vaccine workgroups
U.S. health officials have told more than a half-dozen of the nationβs top medical organizations that they will no longer help establish vaccination recommendations.
This is terrifying. They are calling the AMA, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Infectious Disease Society of America "Special Interest Groups" and excluding them from the Advisory Panel. These are the experts in the field.

'Literally unhinged': Trump admin's bizarre viral coal post buried in mockery
The U.S. Department of Energy came under fire from scientists and other climate action advocates on Thursday for a social media post celebrating coal, as President Donald Trump works to boost the foss...
"The Trump administration wants us all choking, sick, misinformed, and working ourselves to death so that a few from the luxury class can be ever more wealthy. Coal is not the moment. Coal is not going to meet U.S. energy needs. Coal is not the way forward." www.rawstory.com/trump-coal/

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."
It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
