Lawmakers and activists called on American tech firms to stop selling surveillance equipment to Chinese police and for Congress to examine the issue after The Associated Press reported that U.S. technology played a far greater role than previously known in enabling human rights abuses by Beijing.

The U.S. Department of Energy intends to cancel more than $13 billion in funds that the Biden administration had pledged to subsidize wind, solar, batteries and electric vehicles, it said on Wednesday. yhoo.it/42aMT5b

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

MSNBC EXCLUSIVE: Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted soon

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

As we approach 1.5°C of #GlobalWarming, we've already begun to experience historically unprecedented heatwaves, downpours, & other types of disruptive, destructive, & deadly extreme events--and there will be more to come on a path toward continued warming.

KIMMEL, on the Pentagon’s new reporting “pledge”: “.. They want to pick what the ‘news’ is. I know it’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, .. but it’s nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Nexstar made a deal to acquire broadcast conglomerate Tegna in a $6.2 billion deal, which will require government approval. They’re continuing to refuse to air Kimmel.

Wait, was Trump not raptured?

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Trump tells Bondi to get going with the revenge crusade, already. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

Trump is now whining to the UN about the UN working with another developer and not him on their building

Telling a bunch of foreign leaders you might kidnap and disappear their citizens AT THE U FUCKING N is wild

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Meanwhile, back in the world of facts. wmo.int/publication-...

Turns out it was just like 5 people who qualified.

A positive thing about Trump's insane, lie-filled, egocentric speech at the UN today is that the more he gives speeches like that, the more the world as a whole will understand he's a raving lunatic.

It is "established fact" that humans have warmed the Earth by burning fossils fuels and that our emissions have made climate extremes more frequent and intense (IPCC AR6) Thank you for your attention to this matter! www.carbonbrief.org/...

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... A 2024 study published in JAMA involving 2.4 million children in Sweden, used sibling-control analysis. When comparing siblings—one exposed to #acetaminophen in utero & one not—the researchers found NO increased risk of #autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

President Donald Trump isn’t a doctor. But he played one on TV Monday, offering copious amounts of unproven medical advice that he suggested — often without providing evidence — might help reduce autism rates.

“He said things like ‘vaccines had fetal parts,’” Monarez said, “and I had to send a note to our leadership team to correct that misinformation.”

If you're reading this, you haven't been raptured.

French President Emmanuel Macron phoned President Donald Trump after being stopped at a New York intersection that was being blocked off for his U.S. counterpart's motorcade during the United Nations General Assembly.

Lots of transit news from BART director Victor Flores - including that the BART board has voted to use standard gauge for the 2nd set of transbay tubes. This will open up the option for Caltrain, High Speed Rail, and Amtrak to cross between downtown San Francisco and the East Bay in the future.

Let’s hear the tape.

Worst. Rapture. Ever.

Kamala Harris is trying to unburn the bridges. After excerpts of her memoir angered fellow Democrats in recent weeks, she downplayed the tension in her first broadcast interview.

In the past 24 hours, Trump has claimed, without evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, and that, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary, that burning fossil fuels doesn't cause climate change.

Some of us do.

Try as he might to pin this on Democrats, the American people know better. President Trump wants a shutdown.

Tylenol doesn't cause autism, but do you know what does cause brain damage in an infant? Extended high fevers.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Autism was discovered in 1911, and Tylenol was invented in 1950.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, the largest private provider of scholarships to minority students.

This building will soon be legal to build within 0.25 miles of a subway station in most of urban California.

Trump wants to change the Endangered Species Act, a move that would likely mean extinction for species already on the brink. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
