My colleagues and I have been working to break news + write stories holding powerful people accountable. These are the top stories on our homepage right now, one of which I worked on. Our newsroom work is continuing. No one has ever told me what to write. If that changes, I’d speak out and leave.

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Just how far is the GOP willing to go in abandoning all decency and reason in service of Trump and Musk? How "Roman Empire" will we get? When they decide it would be fun to have a pay-per-view of Senatorial spouses being raped by billionaires, will anyone object?

Thinking about "I, Claudius" today. If the mad Emperor Musk were to decide that he needs to impregnate every woman Senator to preserve the legacy of America First, and his assistant Trump decided it would be grand as a pay-per-view event, would anyone be shocked? Would anyone stop it?

Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a fundamental corruption. Democracies don't last forever, and what those who are trying to destroy democracies want is for everyone to stay quiet, for everyone to believe that the moment isn't urgent...we see this as a crisis of epic proportions." THIS.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

I have a confession . . . I was an “overhead cost”. I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it. Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician. Please tag how #OverheadCostJob impact u.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Musk, who violated immigration law repeatedly before he thought it was uncool, should be charged with contempt, put in jail, processed for deportation expeditiously, and sent back to South Africa.

Judges are, in fact, able to block unconstitutional and illegal actions by the executive branch. What's even more pathetic is that JD Vance went to law school.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today: "The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars." We must find & feed the points of light.
