Those two Rs are frightening

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

It must be Tuesday.

It’s TACO Tuesday after all.

NASA captured one of the most detailed views ever taken of Jupiter

So technically George had 2, because he wrote that song for Ringo.

More of this, less of bombing other countries

A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim.

So happy for the people of Hungary. I only hope 🇺🇸 follows your lead.

The Hunger For Competence Americans have been yearning for an end to the chaos. What we owe ourselves is something as bold and promising as a lunar mission.

For years, disruption has been portrayed as leadership. But moments like the Artemis II mission and governing wins are reminding people what competence actually feels like. Once voters start expecting real and valuable results again, politics changes. At this moment in America, that shift matters.

He did not create the Artemis program. It’s been under development for 2 decades.

“American politics has not yet fully grappled with what Israel has chosen to become… I don’t think this is a time to talk about solutions. What’s needed now is a confrontation with realities.”

Wooooooboyyyyyy!

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen continues going off on Donald Trump for attacking Pope Leo and cosplaying as Jesus:

"This is a deranged man. This is a man that should have no connection to being commander-in-chief."

Fantastic. Big 8 clap!

And that's all six. Charlisse Leger-Walker is selected No. 18 overall by the Connecticut Sun. She'll be reunited with Gianna Kneepkens.

The six UCLA seniors and 2026 national champions have been drafted -- a record for any school for a single WNBA draft.

The shuttle rate of failure is 1 in 250, which includes those 2 horrible accidents. But those are the odds that are acceptable in space flight. In contrast, commercial aviation is the safest mode of transportation.

Also, there are 5 backup computers. If all 5 failed, it is unlikely the astronauts could fire off the piros to deploy the parachutes manually in the time required. So they would likely not succeed and well…

Sorry to pile on, but my husband actually designed some of the avionics on Orion. And I have to say, they performed perfectly. Not enough credit goes to the engineers who have spent years to make sure this mission would perform as expected. Not denying how impressive any of our astronauts are.

Hate to disappoint. He was not flying Orion. The avionic computers were flying it through an autopilot program.

It’s unfortunate that the Trump admin has forced so many women leaders to leave NASA, including the directors of JPL and Goddard. But today was a good day to celebrate women and science.

And Europa Clipper when it reaches Jupiter’s in 2030.

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history

Jewish terrorism is raging in the West Bank with government backing and endangers Israel’s survival, 22 former Israeli security chiefs have warned. In a letter to Netanyahu, former heads of Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF said that settler violence had turned into terrorism and could bring down the state

Important 🧵

I don't recognize the U.S. anymore. Under the #Trump administration, it has become #corrupt short-sighted, and - worst of all - intentionally cruel.

Ex heads of 🇮🇱’s security establishment warn about the security/political/moral implications of violence in the West Bank: “Jewish terrorism raging with the backing of government authorities constitutes a moral failure + grave threat to Israel’s security.”
