Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

In your scrolling today,
you will come across something
that makes you mad.
You can’t avoid it.
And you shouldn’t avoid it.
But you also need an antidote
to all that anger.
Here’s one.

Ohio's public universities are eliminating nearly 90 degree programs as a result of Senate Bill 1 • Ohio Capital Journal Nearly 90 degree programs have been identified to be cut at Ohio’s public universities since Senate Bill 1 was signed into law a year ago.

If you think legislation that targets “low enrollment degrees” only impacts the humanities please look at this list. Degrees in chemistry, math, physics, political science, data analytics, psychology and economics are being eliminated. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/o...

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

War on Iran disrupts efforts to save the Asiatic cheetah, world’s rarest big cat Before the war began in February 2026, there was some rare good news for Iran’s imperiled Asiatic cheetahs. Rangers spotted and filmed a female in the North Khorasan province accompanied by five cubs…

Fewer than 30 Asiatic cheetahs remain in the wild, all in Iran.

While the subspecies has been protected since 1959, war and sanctions are now disrupting vital conservation efforts, leaving the world’s rarest big cat on the brink of extinction.

And they shut down the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, and ODNI’s Foreign Malign Influence Center. And DOJ announced it was severely curtailing prosecutions under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

IMPEACHMENT NOW. We know that only the VP & Cabinet can invoke the 25th amendment, so Congress's only recourse is to impeach the president.

So far, 2 IL lawmakers repping Chicago constituents have called for impeachment: Rep Delia Ramirez (IL-03) & Rep Jan Schakowsky (IL-09). How about the rest?

U.S. Forest Service unveils extensive closures of research facilities Cost-cutting move is expected to cause resignations and turmoil

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

2 military stereotypes (Hegseth is 1):

1) guy who puffs out his chest at the gym & brags about how badass he is: he's never done anything

2) guy who brings beer to the comms, supply and intel folks: he'd never admit it, but he's done some crazy shit & knows he's only alive cuz of the support units

Another one of those what-if-it-happened-in-another-country moments:

The president is suing the government for $100 million dollars for searching his home for the classified documents he stole, and the attorney who represented him on those charges is currently leading the Justice Department.

When Did This War Really Start? When Trump Blew Up Obama’s Iran Deal The 2016 JCPOA was real, and it was working. If Trump had stayed with it, there’d be no need—or excuse—for war today.

Trump is lying about the Iran Nuclear Deal. It is the exact opposite of his claim that with the deal “Iran would now have an arsenal of nuclear weapons.” FALSE. If the deal were still in place today, Iran would not have any HEU, would be 2 years away from a bomb. newrepublic.com/article/2082...

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here.

Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.
