1. Trump cuts to science have massive impacts and deserve mainstream attention like this. 2. Health research focused on understudied populations conducted under the Biden Administration is in no way equivalent to the political interference in research happening now. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/p...

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Today, Joe Rogan said: “Did you see the WaPo piece? They found that we’re in a cooling period…a very ‘inconvenient’ discovery, but they had to report the data—and kudos to them for doing that.” I'd love to know how WaPo found that cooling period and, even more importantly, where they hid it.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

Tangentially, you notice how the the feds are all Ramboed out to go bust all these supposedly dangerous gangs but not a single shot has been fired at them and also everyone they arrest is like some crying grandma with a baby in her arms and a gardener on a lawnmower.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
