Educators are horrified as their students become hopelessly dependent on AI models that do their thinking for them.

Epstein is mentioned 111 times in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series—specifically in Proof of Cruelty, the fifth book in the series, which explains why Trump is terrified about his Epstein connections and is lying about them today at Truth Social. The truth about the men is X-rated, and in this book.

After accidentally sending out hundreds of e-mail notifications relating to next Monday’s Order List earlier this afternoon, #SCOTUS has apparently decided to just … post the whole list:

Putin Donates $1M to Trump’s Birthday Parade, Promises to Be There

The Trump administration sued Texas yesterday in a single-judge division in a suit that took just over six hours to produce a final judgment blocking a Texas state law. If that sounds fishy (and beneath the dignity of the federal courts) to you, it’s because it is. Me in today’s bonus “One First”:

Out of control

NEW: Harvard asks for a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump admin from barring its international students from entering the United States. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We’ve stopped bills like this before — by turning public pressure into political power. We can do it again.

Buddhist temples in China are home to trees from dozens of endangered species, a new study shows. Some of them are almost 2,000 years old.

Spruce trees that experienced long-term droughts were more resistant to future ones, while pines acclimatized to wet periods were more vulnerable.

We are providing updates on the oil spill of approximately 2,000 gallons in the Fells Point area.

Texas hospital repeatedly sent a woman who was bleeding and in pain home without ending her life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. She ultimately lost part of her reproductive system. A fed investigation last year found hospital had violated the law. But not so under new Trump admin guidance

Procter & Gamble said it would cut 7,000 jobs or about 6% of its total workforce over the next two years, as part of a new restructuring plan to counter uneven consumer demand and higher costs due to tariff uncertainty.

And now, another Trump travel ban that seems aimed mostly at Brown people. And we’ll just roll over for this, too (after a few small protests across the country). Alas, at this point, “small protests” are about as effective a sunlight on Covid.

The Trump administration is spending up to $2.1 million to investigate whether DEI causes plane crashes, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports. Donald Trump might be disappointed with the findings.

A very weird thing about reading American history is that it’s often shocking and ghastly, but, even worse, you look out the window and it’s still happening.

Old enough to remember when USMC/Army most revered experts in urban occupation, counter-insurgency, and so on taught that the most effective forces went in w the LEAST body-armor, visible weaponry, and other tells of *insecurity* By their measure, these ICE cosplayers are terrified of the public

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

The FDA's AI, Elsa, can't even tell you who the FDA leadership is. Despite being updated thru April 2024, Elsa exclusively listed leaders who have left the FDA, including 3 that retired in 2022-23 and one that left in '21. More on Elsa (& which version of Claude it uses), only at AI Prognosis: 🖥️🩺

The Trump administration is ending multiple HIV vaccine studies, and the NIH has been instructed not to issue any more HIV vaccine research funding in the next fiscal year, with few exceptions. People will die.

NEW: Judge Boasberg has ruled that the Trump administration must quickly propose a way to give the 140 men sent to El Salvador in March — some on evidence he says was "flimsy, even frivolous" — proper due process. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

“Convicted criminals sprawl on feather beds while an innocent teen is curled up on a cement floor. The idea of justice eludes even the people who are following the letter of the law and want nothing more than to live peacefully in this country”

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, was hit with a whopping 18 health violations and the lowest grade in the county after an inspection last month.

“But the State Department’s legal team said there was a ‘high risk’ it would be rejected by the White House budget office or struck down in U.S. courts, the memo said. Setting a fee above the cost to provide the service ‘is contrary to settled Supreme Court precedent,’ the memo said.”
