OMG this is amazing - this Dr. is running to unseat Lindsey Graham and her campaign ad is great! 🔥 youtu.be/J8wMNLaSNW4?...

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

Von Der Leyen’s speech in Aachen is really stunning. “It is time for Europe to rise up once again. To rally around the next great European project. Thus, I believe that our next great era – the next great unifying project – is about building an independent Europe.” 👀 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

I like this new Pope! He’s got game! 😹

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

According to the latest Eurobarometer published today, trust in the EU has reached its highest level since 2007. Confidence is also growing in the euro and in the need for a common defence and security policy. 1/3

"Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power ... With that done, power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals." trib.al/oyBvPkF

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon: Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync with what the Trump administration is trying to accomplish. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

This is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists. The firms that caved to this thug are an embarrassment to the legal profession—and I for one wouldn’t be in the least upset if all of them collapsed permanently under the weight of their shame. OF COURSE he’s now demanding political—non-pro-bono—work.

Trump's utter frustration at his inability to effectively bully Harvard - which exemplifies his lifelong resentment, and jealousy, of elites - offers a bit of fun in a dark time.

No one needs AI. Only a handful of people will put it to good use. The promises are overblown.

A researcher calculates that, without increased production, AI will consume up to 82 terrawatt-hours of electricity this year—around the same as the annual electricity consumption of Switzerland.

Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a bitter, grievance-filled screed attacking judges, immigrants, and his political rivals—and did not even mention the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

BREAKING: Republican Sen. Ron Johnson says there are enough votes in the Senate to block Trump’s “big beautiful bill” until Trump “gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit.” Winning!

Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.
