Analysis reveals that certain hospitals in China and certain institutions in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and India are retraction hotspots. Pinpointing such hotspots can shine a light on why bad science is happening. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

What should Democrats be doing? They should be legislatively opposing everything Republicans do, grinding down their operation so it can barely operate. They should be on constant attack, berating and deriding their actions - on social media, in the press, and on air.

The NYTimes never mention Javon Evans was a member of the Houston Young Republicans until Oliver Willis @owillis.bsky.social called them on it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

OK what news media told us his codename was Golden Showers? I want a retraction!

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

NEW: It was supposed to be a triumphant return to Capitol Hill for Jan. 6ers vowing to sue the Justice Department. It ended with Enrique Tarrio's arrest for suspected simple assault. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

We say no to hurting kids in schools, patients in hospitals, and workers trying to make a decent life for themselves and their families! We will not stand by as Medicaid is under attack. youtu.be/P46UeeFSQlY?...

"Golden Era"

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

The nature of “shock and awe” is that it makes it hard to see or think clearly. What’s playing out through a veneer of chaos is a deliberate tactical program to create a system in which the President has sole authority over the entire executive branch: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

How it started. How it’s going

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

“This is fucking America.”

Mr Garcia, I have drafted an appropriate response for you. You're welcome.

lol what It’s about 160 million in 24 hours at peak. It’s a few dozen in a few minutes at a polling place. This not strenuous for a computer.

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood

Over 300 babies—who should have been born HIV-free—have now contracted the virus due to the USAID funding freeze. Many won’t live to see their first birthday. History will remember that Musk and Trump did this. #PedsSky #IDSky #MedSky #StopProject2025 www.salon.com/2025/02/04/a...

So that health inspector who travels 300m/day to make sure your meat and dairy aren't going to kill you is now paying for gas out of pocket. Sure thing buddy.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This would feel good, but it would be dramatically misreading the situation. This isn’t a bumptious lawyer sending a bogus defamation threat. It’s the U.S. Attorney of an office that can seek to charge you. Don’t yield, but exercise communications discipline.

The @nytimes.com changed the story and has now added this info after I caught them last night. This is why I screenshot these stories. There was no editors note added nor did they point out that a stealth edit was made. h/t @shoq.bsky.social

Felon47 will try to work around the Constitutional estab of the USPS (Congressional control). He's done enough damage w/retiring Dejoy at the helm. If he does control - people will need to physically get to the polls for midterms. Disabled, elderly are most impacted demos - GOP knows seniors vote.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Exactly right

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Trickle up economics.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."
