A NYT comment: “Humans ate organic, whole foods for millennia. They got plenty of exercise, lived without plastics. Until the mid-1800s, life expectancy at birth was 39. Food may be good medicine, but it’s not a panacea. Medical advances—like vaccines—have doubled the human lifespan, not superfoods”

You know the drill: it’s time to call your Senators. Tell them to vote NO on the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Bill. And then call your Congressperson and say, NO reconciliation on the bill. There’s no way to turn a bill this bad into a good one.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Someone’s more than a little insecure about his educational attainments.

Being undocumented is a civil violation, not a criminal offence. More than half of detainees have NO criminal record, others only minor traffic violations. Almost half in ICE custody were in the asylum process. US has the world's largest immigration detention system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hpg...

There is nothing normal about these times. Please strive to keep the abnormal from becoming everyday and banal.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

I don’t know, I’m not wild about the trump T.A.C.O. memes. He’s so reactive, I don’t want him to stamp his feet and defy everyone’s expectations. On almost every decision he makes, I’m delighted when he chickens out. Picture: @mjfree.bsky.social

Call your Republican Senators and tell them to save Medicaid, Medicare, and vote against the #NoGoodHorribleVeryBadBill.

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Checked into hospital for a test. Receptionist asked if I were an American citizen. Called around for 3 days to find out whether this was a hosp., state, or Fed policy. Rep from hosp. called to say it was Fed policy, and that the hosp. was “following orders.” So can ICE now turn up at hospitals?

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.
