Breaking: The Department of Justice announced it will "monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions [in New Jersey and California] ahead of the upcoming November 4, 2025, general election to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law." www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries. Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse. #ScienceUnderSiege

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

When you’re making your #NoKings posters, remember… Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.

@moderation.bsky.app @jay.bsky.team Allowing the .gov accounts here to spread misinformation, racism, and hate, the literal day before WORLDWIDE protests, seems supremely foolish. If I wanted to read men's room graffiti-quality BS, I would've stayed on Twitter. Do better.

They’re doing the same thing to Mikie Sherrill in NJ. Bashing her like they did Harris but coddling her ultra MAGA opponent.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

The GOP justices are highly intentional operators. Their approach of total solicitousness to Trump on procedural motions, while punting merits rulings for years, will allow them to time rulings to tie Democrats’ hands, if they see partisan winds shifting. www.offmessage.net/p/the-suprem...

The future of our state is at stake. NJ needs a governor who'll prioritize our safety, our economy, and our families. Mikie Sherrill has the plan and the courage to get it done. She'll invest in our schools, our transportation system, and our communities! #VoteNJ #SheShed

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Jack Ciattarelli, just like 47, shows 0 respect for Veterans & no regard for our laws. If GOP operatives can illegally target Congresswoman Sherrill’s service records, they can & will target ANY of us. This is an attack on every veteran & every American. #VoteNJ

#Tylenol #paracetamol

Outrageous.

Attention NJ Friends 🚨 So Jack Ciattarelli doesn’t have a problem with Trump eliminating the DOE😡 Guess what? I have a problem with it as do New Jersey students, parents, ＆ teachers. You know what do NJ. Vote for Mikie. #VoteNJ

The statue of Trump & Epstein (left) lasted 1 day on the National Mall, despite a permit that ran through Sunday. It was the 3d of 3 such temporary installations (apparently by the same anonymous artist). The White House criticized the 1st two, but they remained for the duration of their permits.

Just so we are all on the same page, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, whom AAAS and Research!America tapped as their keynote speaking for the National Health Research Forum *LAST WEEK* was STANDING BEHIND TRUMP AND RFK JR AT THAT TYLENOL/AUTISM PRESSER YESTERDAY. He is not a hero, he is complicit.

Nobody should resubscribe to Disney until we hear Kimmel's first couple of monologues. If everything fascist and authoritarian that came for him is reduced to scorched earth and small cinder, then okay, if you want to reward a corporation for finding its nuts after losing its wallet, cool.

Great clip. About PhDs here on H1B’s that “create entire industries.”

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

"What's really exciting about fusion energy is it has a very light regulatory structure to it...so the timeline and the cost of permitting and licensing is a small fraction of what you traditionally see in a nuclear project," Mowry said in an interview with Reuters. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Wouldn’t it be wild if Kimmel ended up becoming our Zelenskyy

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

A proper UK welcome for the orange one.

Today the internet lost Maru, cat of legend, so I'm putting out an empty cardboard box for him.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

"Google Translate can now render your college administrator’s opaque prose into plain (if terrifying) English."

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.

In future I'll have to ban electronic devices during classroom discussions and tell the students discussions are basically oral exams. (As a commenter in this thread notes, they don't even have to type in a prompt, just turn a mic on and genAI will do their work for them.)

Nancy Mace said she would defund USC and Clemson as governor if they allow trans women to choose their preferred restroom

Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."
