Holy shit. DHS just detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a candidate for NYC mayor, as he was observing ICE arrests in court.

Now do NSF and NASA

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Trump is selling a smartphone (it's gold obviously) called the T1. Clearly it's another grift, but the phone does have at least one unique selling point according to the officials website: "A 5000mAh long life CAMERA". 🤔

Sen. Bill Cassidy owes the American people an abject apology.

Wild times: There’s a fake AI generated accident report for Air India 171 claiming an aircraft fault brought down the flight. Multiple factual inaccuracies give it away, but could look very convincing to the untrained eye.

Got a nice letter from Equian (part of UnitedHealth Care) asking if my heart transplant son’s annual cardiac catheterization was someone else’s fault. Who hires these morons?

WTF is this - why is NPR quoting some obscure health policy guy from a think tank both sides-ing miasma theory?

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

“Miasma theory” has been “outdated” for about three centuries now.

Few are telling this trainwreck's tale with as much rigor and passion as @anniewaldman.bsky.social‬ @ #ProPublica. "[Trump] ...has terminated more than 1,450 [#NIH] grants withholding more than $750 million in funds." Read the full piece zurl.co/fCpUU & join us to fight back. #StandUpForScience

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing theonion.com/protest...

76% of politically motivated shootings and extremist-related killings in the U.S. over the past decade were of a right-wing nature. Left-wing motivated shootings were roughly 3%. So, both sides do it.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
