22 weeks apart.

No Shit!

Senator Booker is 🔥🔥 @booker.senate.gov is still giving the longest speech in Senate history. And still making great points we all need to hear.

The livestream of @booker.senate.gov's speech has more than 220M likes on TikTok

@sarajacobs.house.gov uses a discharge petition, with a little help of Republicans, to get around GOP Speaker Mike Johnson to get a vote on parents of young children to use proxy votes in Congress

Now one of my Senators is helping with questions. Thank you Senator Luján @lujan.senate.gov Keep speaking the truth, Senator Booker @booker.senate.gov

There’s a newfound mismatch between matter and antimatter. And that could bring physicists one step closer to understanding how everything in the universe came to be. buff.ly/0p0LrVw

I don’t do TikTok — but my daughter tells me Senator Booker is all over it. @booker.senate.gov @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @lujan.senate.gov

Senator Booker is still speaking. @booker.senate.gov Practically useless. Morally awesome. @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @lujan.senate.gov Please support him as you can.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Rainfall outlook for the monsoon season just dropped and I like the way it looks 🤞 #NMwx #AZwx

the legal profession is tightly bound by professional societies, many of which are highly regulated. the fact that the establishment cannot overcome the prisoner's dilemma to uphold rule of law is grim. rule of law is the basis of their jobs! without it, the job turns into glorified bribe broker!

Excellent essay.

The “dumbest trade war” news is getting lost amongst the chaos of our national defense. A bit long but worthwhile speech about Congress needing to reassert leadership on trade.

Everything THIS Pete says is true in my personal experience.

“For Pete’s sake” just took on another, more stupid and incompetent, meaning for me. And yes, they should all be fired or resign. They should be prosecuted as well, but that ain’t gonna happen with the present Attorney General working for her wanna-be king.

A fantastically important postscript to this piece: David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation, and Goldberg gives a perfect answer — with perfect swipes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Zero harm and ample upside in Democrats calling for impeachments and a special prosecutor. The VP, the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Treasury, the DNI, and the NSC were all involved in the grossly negligent disclosure of specifics on combat operations.

This is so funny, and true, and terrible. Back in the day I would have been fired and thrown in jail using a cell phone, “encrypted” or not, for classified discussion. Treason — or at least a high crime.

Nice article in Physics Today- "Researchers share computational tricks at unique Los Alamos conference". Chris Fryer and Aimee Hungerford ran a cross-disciplinary workshop at LANL last year. Anybody doing multiscale modeling in any field should read. 🧪 digital.physicstoday.org/physicstoday...

Good article to consider. It has been estimated that every taxpayer dollar spent on science eventually grows the economy (and our well-being) 40 to 50 times more. Whether you understand the basic research or not.

Happy Saturn Ring Plane Crossing Day! The rings of Saturn are only 5 to 30 meters thick, but around 280,000 kilometers wide, and every 13-15 years we see them edge-on from Earth. Here are three charts from Sky Safari showing the ring system in 2025, 2024, and 2026.🧪

ALMA has found oxygen in the youngest known galaxy! That suggests, a mere 300 million years after the Big Bang, the earliest generation of stars had already lived and died, making and releasing new elements in the process 🧪🔭 www.space.com/the-universe...

Very useful graphic from Bloomberg illustrating the four companies dominating the advanced computing world.

Good short thread about DESI results — and the end of the universe.

"The administration has weaponized the fight against antisemitism as a means to another end: punishing and weakening universities." www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

We’re in Congress to stand up for New Mexicans, and that’s why we voted “no” on the Continuing Resolution. When you confront a bully, you have to confront a bully, and we’ll keep doing that as long as Trump and Musk try to force their personal vendettas on our communities.

My statement on voting against the Republican Continuing Resolution:

THEY'RE ALREADY SHUTTING IT DOWN AND PASSING THIS ALLOWS THEM TO DO IT FASTER SHORT TERM SHUTDOWN OR LONG TERM SHUTDOWN YOU DECIDE WHICH IS MORE DAMAGING

I love these math stories, even though I could not explain them to someone else.

I didn't know I had 10 laws, but these are great so I'll claim them:

Breaking: Trump to impose 50% tariffs on all EU goods for 90 minutes

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

Oh, this is a fun approach against the illegal actions of the King’s minions. Follows upon the strong statement by the American Bar Association. Dis-bar Trump lawyers acting illegally and unethically!

JUST IN: Judge Contreras has granted a permanent injunction restoring Cathy Harris to the Merit Systems Protection Board, despite President Trump's attempt to fire her. This may rocket to SCOTUS alongside the Dellinger case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You don't often see a complaint with an epigraph, let alone an epigraph with an epithet. (This is AP's amended complaint over its exclusion from the WH press pool, filed late last night. It's excellent.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Not to like toot my own horn but *every time* I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad." Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

How (and maybe more importantly, why) has the supermassive black hole at the centre of the M87 galaxy changed since the image of its shadow went viral in 2017? We're so glad you asked. 🧪⚛️🔭 physicsworld.com/a/black-hole...

Tonight Trump will address a coequal branch of government for which he has shown total contempt. Meanwhile my constituents are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by illegal actions. What he is doing is not normal, it is not acceptable, and I won't be attending. www.youtube.com/shorts/MlTIB...

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

"Wittes emphasized that [Trump and Neville Chamberlin] cannot be compared, as Chamberlain acted in good faith and was motivated by peace, while Trump acted with malevolence and has no intent of pursuing peace." @benjaminwittes.bsky.social lawfareblog.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?...

That was definitely clips from a new season of The Bear! When?!?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

"We want us to stay out of prison. Give us some way to do that," one inmate at the NM Penitentiary told me. I took a deep dive into what workforce reentry programs mean for the people who go through them to contextualize some bills at the #nmleg. www.abqjournal.com/business/art...
