Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

A new day, a new @chicago.suntimes.com morning news roundup. ☕ Today's lead: The Sausage King's squalid South Side complex chicago.suntimes.com/morning-edit...

Sometimes I look at the grocery ads and cannot find any food to buy.

He’s from Louisiana.

Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives. Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional. This says everything about the state of US health care.

One of the best members of Congress.

Please help spread @markhisted.org’s words.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true. I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems. Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.

AP is back in court today to defend itself and the right to speak freely without government retaliation.

Interesting comparisons!

Some news yesterday really upset me. So I made myself get out to adjust. Came home and spilled a whole box of cereal on the floor. Sophie was very unhappy. Today will be better.

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

I think the people wondering how the Nuzzis & the Lizzas of the world get so famous are maybe making more discriminating choices. But fact is, more people prefer such ego bombs than the many, many excellent journalists w/out white mustangs or tell-all bamboo metaphors.

Tonight I'm looking through my grandfather's high school yearbook from Comanche, Oklahoma. I'm blown away by this photo of the football team lined up on the dirt of main street, 101 years ago.

so much sadness in our world

A health care industry rag featured a story on how hospitals want to use AI for nursing the day after the administration declares nursing degrees will no longer be considered professional degrees. So there’s the endgame folks. Same for public education.

you ever think about how the fact that it’s quiet when it’s foggy is because wet air has insulative acoustical properties

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

The strain, called subclade K, has caused a rise in flu cases in the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan. And now signs suggest it is beginning to take hold across the United States as flu activity is rapidly rising. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

“Agency officials said some plans lacked enough primary care clinicians, specialists, or hospitals, according to the letters. And they warned that failure to meet the requirements could result in a freeze on marketing and enrollment, fines, or closure of the plan.”

good thread with helpful advice

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

What happened to the whole Tylenol thing? jfc, I‘ve had it with these nutcases ruining our lives.

This is on Senator Bill Cassidy. He could have blocked this nomination, and he could still call hearings, but no, he's all-in with protecting his career, not the American people.

#BREAKING: Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers will immediately leave his role as an instructor at Harvard while the University investigates his ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

Larry Summers cozied up to the rich and powerful — including a convicted sex offender. He cannot be trusted in positions of influence.

WTAF, #NewHampshire? the argument that allowing farmers to process their own meat without FDA inspection will increase sales & profit ignores the fact that people don't want to risk eating potentially tainted meat.. that's less money, NH farmers, not more. #NHPolitics www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Well, you live long enough to appear on TV with hardcore MAGA folks who are openly advocating for Saudi Arabia to invest/buy up more of America and making excuses for tyrant MBS, and you, the sole Muslim, is advocating for human rights, journalism, and decency. We are in the 7th circle of hell.

This Saudi presser would end the career of any other President. Just a complete disgrace top to bottom.

1) An administrative burden party is a brilliant idea. 2) This mundane crap is the stuff AI *should* be helping us with for a happier and more productive society, but capital prefers to weaponize it against us, including to make bureaucratic mazes more confusing and impenetrable.

This is a big deal everybody. Corporate healthcare consolidating and reducing care.

This is disgraceful. If President Biden, Obama, or Clinton allowed the United States flag to drag on the ground of the White House lawn, every Republican in Congress would call for his immediate impeachment.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...
