Hate is powerful. In fact itโ€™s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they donโ€™t like.

Unplugging from the Political Matrix A case for centrism as a mindset, not a party line.

Weโ€™ve been programmed to believe every issue has two sides. Left vs. right. Good vs. evil. But real life is messierโ€”and centrism is the only path back to sanity. Itโ€™s not weak. Itโ€™s radical. And it might just save the country.

She knew exactly what he was going to do. Thereโ€™s no way she didnโ€™t know. He was completely transparent in what he was going to do to our immigrants. She didnโ€™t care as long as she got the votes.

The Gutting of Americaโ€™s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the countryโ€™s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.

โ€œI would like to cure brain cancer,โ€ Dr. Tanner said. โ€œI think that's not particularly controversial.โ€

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrovaโ€™s expertise, no one can fully unlock the dataโ€™s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

โ€”Pioneering cancer researcher;
โ€”*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
โ€”Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
โ€”"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Officeโ€”he didnโ€™t wear a suit!

Itโ€™s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.

When you spend half your time driving around in the Presidential limousine and the other half in a golf cart, of course you donโ€™t care about rising car prices. But most Americans do.

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."
