He’s lost his damn mind.

Also, if he thinks Iran will “never close the Strait again” he’s delusional.

He’s acting like the war is over because it’s back to status quo…ish.

Still haven’t solved uranium or missiles. All we’ve done is get the Strait re-opened.

also pending senate confirmation. she would likely be confirmed by a large, bipartisan majority, given her strong qualifications and experience in the service. we won’t likely see a better pick from this white house. but i doubt she will be able to perform her duties under rfk jr., as with monarez.

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

It's called the "Power to the People Act" and expands membership of the Alabama Public Service Commission. But editor @brianlyman.bsky.social writes that by stacking the PSC with political appointees, it could stop voters from meaningful action over Alabama's high electricity bills. buff.ly/eJvUDyM

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics “Scientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,” writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.

A heads down approach will not save science. We need to speak up, live our values, and demand integrity.

1. Time for a #flu & #measles update.
Six more kids have died from flu, bringing the year-to-date total to 66. Sadly there will be more deaths reported but hopefully this year doesn't approach last year's dreadful pediatric death toll. #CDC estimates ~90% of these kids weren't vaccinated.

The Nonresponse To Donald Trump How an obscure quirk of statistics and human nature explains the liberal crisis of confidence—and why it may finally be lifting.

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.
