Reconciliation last year added $170B for ICE and BP that is able to be obligated through 2029; that's 125% of their annual budget per year from now until 2029 The only way to undo any of that $ prior to 1201 on 20 Jan 2029 is to pass a law with enough of a margin to overcome a presidential veto

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Unless you have very unique dietary needs, drinking cow milk is completely optional for life or health. You don’t have to decide between raw or pasteurized milk. You can just not drink milk and nothing bad will happen to you.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

I hope people understand what happened here. Yesterday in the late afternoon, Trump said that Putin had promised not to attack Ukraine in such a way that it would damage their heating. Then a few hours later, that is exactly what the Russians did in a massive attack.

I only just now realized what a Canadian nuclear weapons program would do to the peaceful use tritium supply: Effectively end it. Do I have to write a post-proliferation analysis of Canadian and South Korea tritium availability now? D-T Fusion tech would be dead on arrival.

thinking a lot about this woman I met at a protest last spring who was in SNCC with John Lewis, who said something along the lines of “there’s a reason the youth had a separate organization”

He yall, I’ve got a great AI use case that we can market to vampires! The catch, get this, it steals all their money.

There’s even a GAO report about it!

Live a life that you can be proud about your name showing up in the Epstein Files.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

We are currently looking to raise $4600 for a south Minneapolis family that is two months behind on rent. Thank you for your support gofund.me/72979e94c

Good morning team! Democrats won in Tarrant County, Texas, yesterday! +30 percentage points over the 2024 election.

Silver lining of all the TN power outages: I don’t have to hear people complain about TVA asking customers to make voluntary load curtailments.

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers. It is time to choose sides.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

*screams in history of science*

America first? A Russian veto over US security policy?

This is a hell of a way to wake up on Wednesday. Good morning @gbrumfiel.bsky.social! For DOE, as the inheritors of the promotion side of the AEC equation, rulemaking for their orders has always been a little a little different and less subject to public comment than NRC. But, uhh, not like this.

The idea that ALARA is One Big Idea That Is Wrong should be offensive to anyone who has ever put forth a good faith effort to define or operationalize the reasonableness standard. Even good rules/standards can be and are on occasion misinterpreted or misapplied.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Yall remember during ~2006-08 when all the ride or die GWB loyalists you knew started pretending like they’ve always really been Libertarians?

>statue avatar >lacks an understanding of virtue Sad! Many such cases!

I've had this same experience talking with US strategic experts who are convinced that the British and French nuclear capacities are "trivial." You then learn that the Americans are grotesquely misinformed about what those capacities are... as if they were guided by propaganda, not intel.

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here. I couldn't think of anything better to say. othermeans.io/p/on-being-a...

This NNSA news release mentions how tritium extractions support their “deterrence” mission. I’m interpreting to mean signaling that U.S. weapons are credible based on sufficient tritium availability. We know how much is produced at WBN; why not state plainly the quantity (or range) per extraction?

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

"Another course at Texas A&M has fallen foul of state policy on teaching gender, race & sexual orientation – this time a graduate ethics seminar. It follows the banning of a prescribed reading on Plato & coincides w/the launch of an academic ‘snitch line’."

While reading Elaine Weiss’ Spell Freedom I was struck by Esau Jenkins’ voting calculus from 1959 at the bottom of the page. “…promise to treat Black people more fairly, not to belittle them, or convict them without evidence—just treat them like human beings” and “we will vote for you.”

Now I want to see a cage fight: American Coalie (Rocky Balboa?) Vs. Russian Yuri-anium (Ivan Drago?)

Death toll in Afghanistan when NATO answered the US’s call: - 453 Britons - 158 Canadians - 89 French - 59 Germans - 53 Italians - 44 Danes - 17 Spaniards “Stayed a little back, off the front lines “! No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

leaving wrecked cars in the middle of the street, leaving distraught regular people to sort out towing and document the incident and such? it’s only like 5% of the evil, but it’s telling we work with state and local police, and we are only volunteers ourselves, and we DO NOT DO THAT

Hey NukeSky 📣 PiNE 2026 – *Abstracts Due NEXT WEEK!* University of Strathclyde, Glasgow 🗓️ 14–15 April 2026 PiNE 2026 brings together post‑docs and industry professionals from across the UK to share research, network, in academia, government, and industry on the future of nuclear energy.

Everyone should read this clear-eyed assessment from @spenserawarren.bsky.social on Greenland. The two sides: expert analysis on how annexation is unnecessary to achieve strategic goals in the arctic vs. the "psychological [importance]" of President Trump's desire to annex Greenland. #NukeSky

*stares in U.S. nuclear renaissance* *glances at Russia*

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

Apparently my FAS Day One Memo on tritium production is cited on the Grokipedia entry for fuel under the fusion fuel subheading.

Russia will take Greenland if we don't take Greenland first, and also, I have just invited the same Russia to join my "peace board." #makeitmakesense

If this administration hadn't seemingly completely forgotten about the ongoing conventional war in Ukraine we could have spent the last year ruthlessly euthanizing whatever was left of Russian State capacity and made this entire point moot.

Somehow the Mathmos returns…

One other thing is PEOPLE!!!

💯 if the object of a compellant threat doesn’t believe you will withhold the threatened punishment if they comply, there is no incentive for compliance

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.
