So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

Every university that went hard after its pro-Palestine students opened the door for this

This headline is from 2018.

It’s a good time to recall that it is fully within the power of Congress to put a stop to this tariff madness at any time that they so choose.

Google Maps has leveled up with some algebra knowledge! Just told us to take exit 4a minus b.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds.

Then the harassment began.

Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel.

Six credible threats to his life.

More than 400 “vile” calls to his chambers—including this voicemail:

I grew up on these streets

Russell Vought has unilaterally decided today that he simply won’t allow anyone outside of NIH to receive research funding.

$15 billion in NIH funding is now locked down. If not reversed, it will also take down many Universities in the United States.

Forget new cancer treatments or vaccines.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

On Thursday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to grant them a stay on the Massachusetts vs Kennedy/ APHA vs NIH ruling. This decision will occur on the shadow docket, with no formal hearing.

Elon Musk's Tesla Diner Is the Cybertruck of Restaurants Elon Musk's new Tesla Diner in Hollywood: long lines, chaotic service, disappointing food and a puzzling design with drive-in movie screens.

I reviewed the Tesla Diner, congrats to me on my new career as a food critic

Ryan Walters' TV displayed "nude women" during a meeting. Now he's blaming the media. The Oklahoma schools chief who crusades against smut now faces an investigation into his own explicit screen time

Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content.

On his work computer.

During a Board of Education meeting.

Read that again.

Absolute cowardice, and everyone involved in this decision should be immediately fired, then flogged with a book on the history of Neville Chamberlain

White House eying education cuts for next funding clawback package The No. 2 House Republican says GOP leaders and the administration are in active talks about what rescissions bill to bring up next, and when.

Given that the White House has already withheld about $6 billion in appropriated funds to K-12 education and laid off most of the research infrastructure, it is zero percent surprising to hear that rescissions are on the table. And Congress may not even need to act at the end of the fiscal year.

Instant time travel seeing that. Whoa.

Kids got sent home from school for wearing his shirts. I think it also coincided with the peak of the D&D Satanic Panic circa 85-86.

🧪 UPDATE: All 63 House appropriators will meet **this Thursday** about science funding levels.

They'll deliberate on the proposed multi-billion dollar cut to NSF's budget ($9.0B --> $7.0B).

If you think that's bad for our country, here's who to call: appropriations.house.gov/about/member...

Running government science agencies on vibes rather than evidence kills people.

So far, in 2025, two people have died on the NYC subway.

while over 20,000 people have died on American roads

$107M in congressional appropriated funds being illegally withheld in Indiana. $107k in my school district of Zionsville.

The State Department fired its remaining climate change staff in the Office of Global Change, eliminating the team responsible for international climate diplomacy, wiping out 1,300+ jobs.

This isn’t “streamlining." It’s silencing climate diplomacy.
