“the number
of competitive grants
awarded by
the National Institutes of Health
is down by more than half

the same period last year,”
and though it’s true
that funding NIH grants
is expensive,
not funding them
will cost us even more.
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

and of course pogroms continued after the war, with no German occupation at all, until the majority of Polish Jews left
I know this because my father created and led the USY Poland Seminar for Jewish teens, which predates March of the Living by a year. They took videos on the first couple of summers and the group visiting Sobibor is in one of the videos.
Poland used to even struggle to acknowledge that Jews were victims of the Nazis.
The original plaque at Sobibor (when it was no more than the barrier at the end of the tracks) didn't mention Jews as victims at all in '87.
Eventually this changed and a real memorial went up.
The Jedwabne pogrom of 1941 was one of the most brutal acts in the entire Shoah, committed by Poles against Polish Jews, not by the occupying Germans. Now the local government and people are denying that Poles committed this act. www.timesofisrael.com/polish-towns...

Trump's Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned today. She and her husband have both been accused of sexually harassing her staffers, drinking on the job and she had an affair with her security team. The woman charged with protecting American workers treated workers like crap.
How Trump's social media posts brought chaos to oil trading. Sebastian Barrack, who has helped build Ken Griffin’s hedge fund into one of the world’s most influential energy traders, says he has a screen solely to monitor the US president’s social media posts. ft.trib.al/3F76Rii

Trump’s unconstitutional war was not authorized by Congress, was started without a plan or an exit strategy, and has achieved none of the contradictory objectives used to justify it.
Oh, and it cost taxpayers at least $40 billion.
So, still only women being pushed out

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.

Another one bites the dust: Trump fires Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer
• Extramarital Affair
• Misuse of funds
• Drinking on the job
• Hostile workplace
• Husband sexually harrassed Labor staff
Yet Another Trump Lady!
This article (proposing professional sanctions for lawyer-journalists who publish leaked SCOTUS material) is genuinely one of the stupidest things I’ve read in my entire adult life reason.com/volokh/2026/...
Democrats should make the confirmation hearing on the nominee to be U.S. Attorney General all about the Epstein files.
If you won’t commit to release the files without redactions and prosecute the Epstein class, then you’re obstructing justice, not enforcing it.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned today, a week after this:
✈️🇺🇦 Nearly half of the pledged F-16 aircraft have been delayed for various reasons. This raises questions about whether the issue is systemic, what constraints exist, and how many F-16s Ukraine currently has in service.
Belgium and Norway are delaying the transfer of 36 F-16 fighters.
Is that bad? Seems bad
to be fair, white collar criminals are stupid, too, it's just that federal prosecutors are bad at using excel
