For your Monday, here's one of the JWST Deep Field images. This is a portion of the sky about one-fifth the size of a full Moon. And it contains THOUSANDS of galaxies—some of which extend back to when the Universe was a couple of billion years old. The redder a galaxy, the farther away it is.

#RussiaOnFire The 2nd largest steelmaking factory in the Terrorist State is on fire! The Severstal Metallurgical Plant in Cherepovets appears to have careless smokers on the premises as no drones were near. Barrels of benzene and oil are said to be burning.

Boris Pistorius: “Putin is trying once again to make us believe that he wants peace. Our experience with his promises in the past warns us to be cautious. We will judge Putin’s promises based on one thing - actions, not words.”

“But the demagogue ages. The fear of death moves closer to the center of his psyche. Merely holding power and commanding public attention is no longer enough. Mere vanity gives way to a needy and almost insatiable narcissism. The narcissism escapes containment.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-for-...

European nations “have very good reasons to be furious with the Trump administration”—but assisting the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz may actually be in their best interest, Eliot A. Cohen argues:

Congress and the Trump administration “must ensure that America’s commitments in Asia remain credible”, argue two American senators in a guest essay. “The peace, security and prosperity of the region, and of Americans at home, depend on it”

Our current Acting CDC Director said his entire plan for pandemic preparedness is to fire everyone responsible for it.

I'm receiving more of these AI-generated queries. Here's one asking me about a pulmonology paper. I've never published in the space. Oh, and no such paper exists by any author. (My reponses that generated the second and third emails were, in total, "yes?" and "which paper"?)

With an "Ally" like Trump's America, who needs enemies?

A generation of young men is being taught that cruelty is courage and that calling 911 on someone you just provoked is "based." It's destroying them. And I think the snap-back is closer than people realize. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

When Trump meets with Xi, we can’t afford for him to give up real concessions in exchange for “solutions” to Trump's self-created crises. That’s why I led 16 bipartisan senators this month in introducing a resolution to remind people of the threat China poses to our security and prosperity.

After Hungary, Putin and Trump’s overlapping influence operations have a new target. And this time it’s Canada. My latest…

Levels of Pfas in northern gannet eggs in Canada fell up to 74% over 55-year period of study

🔥 HAYES: “You get the pattern here, right? One after another… so there’s no Black members of Congress left in the states of the old Confederacy. They want a New Jim Crow, now they have a blessing from the Supreme Court.” #Tennessee #Memphis @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

The US can't be trusted for ANYTHING anymore.

I’m sure it doesn’t help that Trump withdrew the U.S. from the WHO on day one. Then his administration laid off 2,400 CDC workers, including all the civilian staff in the Vessel Sanitation Program, the exact team responsible for inspecting cruise ships and responding to outbreaks.
