BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned.

It’s important to remember that the goal of lawsuits like the one brought by Kash Patel against the Atlantic isn’t to win, it’s to cost the Atlantic as much money as possible only to drop the suit before discovery, and as red meat for the MAGA base by simply filing it.

The good news: Oregon’s wolf population grew by 13% last year.
The bad news: There were a significant number of poachings and authorized killings.

This will make it easy to shut down accounts, just as in The Handmaid’s Tale.

Cuture warriors defend western civilization by banning colleges from teaching . . . er . . . Plato and Shakespeare.

Texas students will have little critical thinking skills.
I guess that's the idea.

That's close to 100 5-year NIH grants. So much for technical leadership.

That's right....and so dreadfully wrong

The Atlantic responds to Kash Patel's $250 million lawsuit:

"We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit."

Trump's "art of the deal" has always been about "negotiating for the right to save face after losing catastrophically on a dumb gamble, followed by furiously jumping into another investment so as to erase the memory of the last loss". That's his career. Nothing has changed.

American science is not “shrinking.” It is being deliberately destroyed in order to cede technical leadership to China.

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.

American science is shrinking.

A Post analysis found that, halfway through this fiscal year, the number of competitive grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health is down by more than half compared with the same period last year. https://wapo.st/3OgoHKV

Inside Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm Elections When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would l...

Oof.

Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.

Wait, Mullin’s been in the job for 30 seconds and he’s already bought even more planes?

This Shabbat, we can hopefully rest with more ease than we have felt these past months.

But there is still a lapse in justice. The regime in Iran is still executing civilians due to the protests in January. No fair trial. No Justice.
