She does understand it. She does. Stop letting them get away with this bumbling idiot shit. That they’re hiding under the facade of a woman who it’s easy to pin the ditz on. They’re fascists. They’re saying it into existence.

I got a little pushback on this, so let me unpack it a bit: 1) If you are relying on ChatGPT to do research for you, you either don't know how to do research yourself, or don't understand the limitations of AI, or both. (Authors have to do A LOT of research. IF you don't know how, that's not great.)

This is a brilliant idea and I'm trying to figure out who I could talk into coordinating if I could talk someone else into donating some seed money for it. I know a ton of people who worked for newspapers at some point but I think mostly they were writers, not editors.

To be clear: Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all. Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal. The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...

Really glad that when Trump was asked once or twice pre-election about Project 2025 and its dystopian goals, the press took him at his word that he had nothing to do with it and didn’t focus reporting on what a 2nd term would actually look like & what the consequences would be.

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.
