Screenshot of the AFL-CIO statement on the district court decision not to grant a temporary restraining order barring DOGE from accessing private sensitive data at the Department of Labor.
Every minute that Elon Musk and his DOGE have access to
Department of Labor data, our nationβs workers, their privacy, and the integrity of DOLβs mission are at risk. Todayβs ruling is only a setback β not a defeat.

It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests!
Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding.
House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

Maybe it's the Sunday scaries... Or maybe it's the knowledge that scarcity is artificial and there is enough shelter, food, clothing, safety, and medicine for everyone, but they're all controlled by a small number of rich elite... making the idea of going to work tomorrow unbearable.

H5N1 Infects Mammary Glands, Unlike H1N1
A new study reveals that H5N1 replicates in mammary tissue, whereas H1N1 does not. This discovery raises significant concerns about potential transmission via lactation and the virus's expanding tissue tropism.

AFGE Statement on Federal Employee Buyouts
Today, in response to reports that President Trump will be offering buyout to all federal employees who don't want to return to the office, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following ...
"This offer should not be viewed as voluntary. Between the flurry of anti-worker executive orders and policies, it is clear that the Trump administration's goal is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment where workers cannot stay even if they want to.β -AFGE

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys β an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webbβs Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebulaβs inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ringβs inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.
An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webbβs signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.β£
