Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"Gaining traction" is pretty apt, but maybe undersells how quickly the four-day school week has spread across some states. Definitely worth checking out the latest evidence on this one.
Our @statnews.com survey of NIH-funded researchers drew nearly 1,000 responses from 45 states (plus DC and Puerto Rico). Here's a short thread on 5 scientists' whose labs and lives have been deeply impacted by federal policies 🧵
In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.
Today, the RNC argued no state can.
That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.

A large adult male turkey with long tail feathers unfurled, colors of chestnut brown with black, brown and bronze, quite grand. Closer to the camera is a female turkey with buff, brown and black feathers. She is much smaller. These turkeys are part of a flock that live in our neighborhood in Woburn Massachusetts.

We have a lot of wildlife in our suburban Boston neighborhood and the turkeys are particularly grand to see.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”
This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.
I would like to see that argument.

A lot in common: primarily totalitarianism & one leader who must be obeyed. If you look at Umberto Eco's 14 points on Ur-Fascism (NYbooks, reproduced below) who will see plenty of common ground between Hitler's Nazis, the CCP & the current Trump/Musk regime.

Since the subsidies were first expanded in 2021, allowing more people to qualify and lowering their payments, millions of Americans have benefited. A record 24 million people enrolled in Obamacare for 2025, with a vast majority receiving some tax credits. Many were self-employed or worked for small businesses that did not offer health insurance.
Rather than using the passive voice ("subsidies were first expanded") in paragraph 3, it would have been helpful to remind readers that Congressional Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan in 2021, which expanded these subsidies, without a single Republican vote.
