It's disgusting that Terry Moran is being punished by ABC for criticizing one of Trump's minions, Stephen Miller, on his social media account. He spoke the truth. ABC's cowardly pandering to Trump and his regime only enables them to demand more control and censorship of the press. Despicable.
“If we didn’t get involved… Los Angeles right now would be on fire.” — Trump
This is a figment of Trump’s deteriorating mind. Protests have been mostly peaceful. Unrest is limited. And unless you’re actually here on our streets, your opinion is just that—an opinion.
Glad Bluesky is running, X continues to me a hot mess
There is a special ring of hell for “pseudo randomized”
A great read. Since null hypotheses are usually false by definition, and p-values are computed assuming H0, p-values are not very actionable. #Statistics #StatsSky

The Donald J. Trump Stock Market Crash™
"The Trump administration is totally destroying the infrastructure of the nation's public health system. It's amazing that they are looking to cut the parts of our health system that provide the best value for prevention and wellness."

What a clown Trump is
Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server?
Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?
This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.
Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.
Circling back on this…
I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
Jim Himes: "This administration acts with an unbelievable cocktail of incompetence and illegality."

How about instead of doing a hundred Fox interviews this week, maybe Bondi could show up at the next hearing and tell this to the judge directly.
