In today’s episode, we talk to an expert about the evolution of the gloriously creepy anglerfish, plus the first discovery of an Egyptian pharaoh tomb in over a century. Listen here 🎧: https://buff.ly/3CYnpyv

Todays hero

I'm starting to think that the Russia thing wasn't a hoax.

"Hundreds, if not thousands of people" have gathered in London to voice their support for Ukraine. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #UKprotests #StandWithUkraine

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

WATCH: “So far DOGE has saved enough to buy each of us 3 cups of coffee.” Economist Justin Wolfers on the *DOGE DIVIDEND* It’s all a trick. Their goal is tax cuts for the rich. And they never cared about the debt.

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

But why? It’s a mystery!

America will have to live with the shame of what's happening here for years. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Another brick in the fascist wall: WSJ reports Linda Yaccarino (CEO, X) threatening IPG w/government (Musk) retribution unless they advertise on X platform. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

Musk is attempting to extort Ukraine into accepting 47’s agreement over minerals. F’ck. Musk.

PURE ABUSE OF POWER & EXTORTION: Ukraine was warned it faced an imminent shutdown of Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system unless it signed the extortion deal on rare earth minerals, Reuters reports

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

A quick reminder for you Elon

They just now noticed?

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Know why the US is $36 trillion in debt? Because the Republicans give rich people and corporations tax cuts, and we, the middle and lower class, foot the bill. Rob the poor to give to the rich. #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

This is why I keep talking about the last ten years as a metastasizing misinformation crisis. Why on EARTH would you think Trump would do anything thoughtfully or strategically? If the media is giving people this impression, it is lying to them

I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Carville to Hannity: I will tell you this: More deficit has accumulated on a Donald Trump than other any other president in history… Your viewers and I’m reading another view so one of us is wrong. You got fact checkers at Fox?

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.
