So the military gets a choice on a vaccine to safeguard against a public health risk, but women don’t get a choice on whether or not they carry a pregnancy.

Obscene.

Same, same.

Senator Andy Kim on being refused a briefing on Donald Trump's war in Iran:

"They said no, and they're not just saying no to me. They're saying no to the people of New Jersey. They're saying no to the American people, that we don't deserve to know what is happening in this war waged in our name."

I have always interpreted it (no idea if this is correct) as he was depressed because of a complicated relationship with his dad.

Perhaps Mr. Edwards was bummed about having the same name as the “Sinners At The Hands Of An Angry God” dude.

Thank you for sharing. I didn’t know this existed!

Finding hope in difficult time is vital. This week, we witnessed both the successful return of Artemis 2 (Learning is cool!) and the defeat of an authoritarian in Hungary.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II.

She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet.

Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

Amazing.
