Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

I'm in ! Tell me how.

Not the primary culprit, but it’s also supremely & mortifyingly embarrassing for administrators of the Carter library to agree to cancel events like this. What’ll happen if they don’t? They test bluff? a presidential library is shut down by the White House, which has its own political opportunity?

Should we call the DOGE team Muskovites?

Hair conditioners typically contain dozens of ingredients, which are often sourced from petrochemicals or synthesized oils and fats. A new gel, made from a mere handful of components, looks to lignin from wood to protect and restore hair. cen.acs.org/biological-c... #chemsky🧪

Anti-vaxxers are very happy with Trump and RFKjr. Trump’s approval remains at all time highs www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

This is a disaster for science and the economy. It's also well deserved by universities, which almost totally refuse to stand up for democracy and science.

Most GOP voters are not white men. Yet they vote almost exclusively for mediocre, ignorant, bigoted white male leaders. They get violently angry at anything which erodes ancient hierarchy and caste. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and...
