Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis. I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO. Full statement:

Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:

The answer to corruption is publicly financed campaigns. This should be the biggest takeaway from NY’s mayoral race. Thanks to public financing, corrupt oligarchs are about to lose the mayoral race. Our piece for @thenation.com based on our new book MASTER PLAN — pass it on: LeverNews.com/book

A microscopic organism can survive the vacuum of space: yet our infrastructures collapse under a summer storm. Why? 👉 Because structure isn’t enough. Resilience depends on functionality. And we need a lot of network science to grasp it. 📖 manlius.substack.com/p/making-sen... #ComplexityThoughts

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

arXiv alert! 📄🚨 Robustness of small networks arxiv.org/abs/2509.23670 Great to dust off one of my favorite topics and get to collaborate with the legendary @aliceschwarze.bsky.social and Peter Mucha

Tried the mixing (beta) feature of Spotify on a list I had done for dinner parties during vacation. I suspect it is a play by spotify to teach their AI to mix and DJ automatically, But I was a little impressed with the options it allows for customizing mixes. open.spotify.com/playlist/3OQ...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Great #networkmedicine work by @alfonsovalencia.bsky.social's team on deriving comorbidity networks from RNA-seq data to study complex disease relationships. Thy show that molecular mechanisms are behind many of the known comorbidities (often via immune response). doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

1/2 Very interesting discussion about pace of science (thanks @cyrilpedia.bsky.social!), but one cannot really separate the pace of innovation or disruption from the pervading economy.

Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...
