The real reason Tucker Carlson is turning on Donald Trump Audience.

"Nice book you got here, McQuade . . . be a shame if anything happened to it."

Trump on Saudi Arabia: "I think they're doing great. I spoke to him yesterday. They're fighting. They're helping us. The ones that aren't helping are NATO. We don't need them. We will never need them, actually."

I noted the day of the SCOTUS decision that JB Pritzker IMMEDIATELY moved to make this point, by demanding a refund for IL. And State refunds may be the best way to politicize how Trump created the worst of all worlds. But Elizabeth Warren is, predictably, focused on it as well.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

The chilling role of ChatGPT in mass shootings and other violence Several attacks involving OpenAI’s chatbot—including Tumbler Ridge and FSU—raise urgent questions about the technology.

Chatbots make it far easier than traditional internet use for a struggling person to move from violent thoughts toward action.

This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly.

We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

Staunch Trump Supporters Are Now Asking if He’s the Antichrist The Iran war and a series of social media posts, including one depicting Trump as Jesus Christ, have some conservative commentators and fans suspecting the president may be the antichrist.

It really is noteworthy that we've only had two Republican Presidents in the 21st century, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, and both have been publicly at odds with Popes, John Paul II and Leo XIV, on matters of war and peace.

Donald Trump wanted a commemorative stamp with his face on it but the focus group said 65% of Americans would spit on the front side and the other 35% would lick the backside.

Putin’s best ROI - Donald Trump.

The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has.
