NEW: Porsha Ngumezi and Nevaeh Crain died during miscarriages in Texas after doctors delayed treatment.
The state’s medical board has ruled that substandard care led to the deaths, but the doctors were given minimal punishment.

Um. I spend a lot of effort to keep my thoughts IN my head.
So sorry. 💔
NASA’s Orion spacecraft captures the Moon and the Earth in one frame during the Artemis II crew’s deep space journey
Artemis II has been a much needed celebration of science, competency, and humanity.
But reminder: the White House is proposing cutting NASA’s budget by billions.
If you’ve loved watching our astronauts, don’t forget to call your representatives and urge them to keep funding science.
Péter Magyar:
"We are going to relaunch Hungary's accession to the International Criminal Court. It's in the interests of the international community and Hungary for us to be there."
Viktor Orbán had initiated Hungary's withdrawal from the ICC due to its investigation of Israel's actions in Gaza.
A deep dive: 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 largely be missing. @dougbockclark.bsky.social @jenafifield.bsky.social
For the crucial Hungarian election, friends don’t let friends follow fake-experts. Follow these real experts instead:

Headline reads: White House budget seeks to scrap 54 major NASA science missions. Over an image of Jupiter.
Experts found that the White House budget request for the upcoming fiscal year could defund 54 NASA science missions, including a spacecraft currently studying Jupiter and two planned Venus missions: www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...
If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...
Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.
My aspiring astrophysicist kiddo just committed to Reid Wiseman's alma mater (RPI). Hope science hasn't been utterly destroyed by the time he graduates. #artemis
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
so happy for my emotional support astronauts
Science is good. We should fund it.
I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now.

I grew up in New England, where it was a moral failure to turn the heat on until Thanksgiving. Relatedly, i froze the pipes the day I moved into a 110 year old house with bad insulation.
Happy International War Crimes and Genocide Day to those who celebrate it.

As the mom of an aspiring physicist who is heading to college this fall, this hurts my heart even more. And makes me fucking livid.
Poverty is a choice.
A choice made by billionaires and the politicians they purchase to take the wealth working people create.
I love them..

care has *not* resumed!

Screenshot of a post on X by Jamie Raskin (@jamie_raskin) that reads: “Remember what Nemik said in Andor:” followed by the quote: “Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.” The post continues: “No Kings in America or in any galaxy. Stand strong for the people.” Below the text is a photo from a protest showing two people holding signs that read “No king can break our union” and “Vote yes!! to protect our courts,” with other demonstrators and signs in the background.
Andor has a lot to say about the world we live in now.
NEW: With the federal government refusing to identify agents or share evidence relating to the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, the dispute has become a game of constitutional chicken: states’ rights versus federal immunity.
