Today was insane 👀

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Not even 100 days in—and a nonstop comedy of errors—except none of it’s funny. Some of this you probably didn’t know. And once you do, you’ll wish you didn’t. Part I

80 years ago today—12 days after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s sudden death from a stroke—Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson wrote to President Harry S. Truman seeking to “have a talk with you as soon as possible on a highly secret matter.” Can you guess what was on Stimson’s mind?

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Our four star general who was fired for “DEI” never needed a makeup room, never used Signal, and wasn’t widely known as a drunken joke. Jus sayin 💙🇺🇸
