When I said I wanted to regain my youth, this is NOT what I had in mind at all...

Can we fucking talk about the fact that shitbag corporations like Amazon don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay fuckall for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for ALL that shit.

Clears it up a lot.

Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines

"As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust."

For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Bhattacharya, Letai & other politicals at NIH keep trying to to say all at NIH is fine, because they spent the full budget last year. This well researched article from @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social explains exactly why many scientists are still struggling. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup.

He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal.

He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage.

He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still has his job. Two female reporters have been fired as a result of his alleged affair with one of those reporters. This is the USA work place women have always had to navigate.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva: "What specific diseases do you believe deserve less medical research?"

RFK: "DEI."

Grijalva: "Do you have a specific program, a specific disease that deserves less funding?"

RFK: "DEI research has never any diseases. It's never produced any new drugs."

Each individual layoff notice that was issued to a postdoc in May of 2025 was itself a greater degree of direct government censorship than Bhattacharya has experienced in his entire life.

Record number of homes in Great Britain turn to green energy as fuel prices soar Iran war drives demand for solar panels, heat pumps and EVs, with energy bills expected to rise 18% from July

Heat pump orders up 2x in a month. Solar panel inquiries up 250%. EV leases up 85%.

The Iran crisis has made energy security feel personal.
I understand why: I have solar panels, a heat pump & EV on a flexible tariff. When gas prices spike, my bills barely move.

This really is the only way to get rid of the stench and stain on our country's government.

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

ICE went on a hiring spree. Sterling credentials were not required, AP investigation finds Some new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers started working before passing background checks and had problems in their past.

One has gone bankrupt twice. Another was sued for allegedly framing an innocent woman. A third lasted only three weeks in a police officer job.

All were hired during ICE's unprecedented hiring spree, an AP investigation finds.

The Epstein files really show us that we've been underestimating how much men hate women and children.

Highlighted in red: "Political interference is inappropriately shaping or interfering in the conduct, management, communication, or use of science for political advantage or such that it undermines impartiality, nonpartisanship, or professional judgement"

Text, with "political" highlighted in red to indicate removal: I. Protecting Scientific Processes Scientific integrity fosters "honest scientific investigation, open discussion, refined understanding, and a firm commitment to evidence" (OSTP 2010). It also enables consideration and documentation of differing scientific opinions. Practices that support scientific integrity may include peer review and open science. Science, and public trust in science, thrives in an environment that prevents political interference and inappropriate influence from impacting scientific data and analyses and their use in decision making. It is the policy of HHS to: 1. Prohibit political interference or other inappropriate influence in the design, proposal, conduct, review, management, evaluation, communication about, and use of scientific activities and scientific information. Prohibit inappropriate restrictions on resources and capacity that limit and reduce the availability of science and scientific products (e.g., manuscripts for scientific journals, presentations for workshops, conferences, and symposia) outside of normal budgetary or priority-setting processes or without scientific, legal, or security justification. 3. Require that leadership and management ensure that covered individuals engaged in scientific activities can conduct their work objectively, free from political interference or other inappropriate influence, and free from retaliation.

HHS just published an update to its Scientific Integrity Policy. Notably, it has removed the concept of political interference, and no longer calls it out as something specifically to be prevented.

Trump attracts a certain type...

Why was Trump trying to heal Jeffrey Epstein?

Who are these people? After everything - no hope for them at all

HOW EMBARASSING! Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon. 🤣🤣

It’s interesting that they need an act of Congress to stop the Iran strikes, but they didn’t need one to start

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

The human body was not meant to endure 2 trump terms in one lifetime.

THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW!

Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.

I will be really, REALLY happy when John Fetterman leaves the Senate.

Mark Rufalo warns Congress against the Paramount-WBD merger:

"You don't have to watch 'Citizen Kane' or read '1984' to understand that the concentrated oligarchic control this merger represents is a threat to a free press, an informed populace & democracy itself."
