One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero.

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

Meta paid Donald Trump $25m … for suspending his social media accounts. The same company that has stripped all news links from its Canadian website to avoid paying journalists for reporting ….. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Trump's cabinet picks are united in denying the climate crisis. The consequences of climate denial — including on agriculture, infrastructure, and human health — will cost our planet up to $3.1 trillion a year by 2050. Do they have another planet to live on?

Wow.
