the thing about space is there are no shortcuts. it's expensive to do well. getting to the moon took an all-out national effort spanning decades arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

Just trying to imagine a president prior to 2016 ordering the revocation of a network’s broadcast license.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Just insane stories from the graduate school communities, students getting kicked out of the country - medical and science researchers - because of trivial, decade-old violations, like speeding tickets, long ago, paid in full

Hate intrudes on the governor’s home on first night of Passover. Subject in custody. Analyzing subject’s social media to confirm the connection: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

It looks very much like the Department of Homeland Security memo seeking to revoke Ozturk's visa copied language directly from the Canary Mission website. Is DHS just following the "deport list" from an anonymous website? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

“..’Musk’s response shocked Europeans: ‘Be quiet, small man. .. there is no substitute for Starlink.’ “.. Berneke said her phone blew up after that. Panicked European officials wanted to know what Eutelsat could deliver in Ukraine, and how fast.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Opinion from @maxmccoy.com: A century ago, an explosion of free thought burst from Kansas. It filled pockets — and minds. #ksleg

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that smartphones, computers and some other electronics, just exempted from steep tariffs on imports from China, would face separate new duties along with semiconductors within the next two months reut.rs/3RLGp6X

He didn't know the exemptions were coming and he has no idea how long they'll last. Nobody does, we're all just supposed to dance around the Mad King until bond markets treat us like the unpredictable pariah state we've become.

Analogies are never perfect, but this one is instructive. If you’ll indulge me: What would you call it if a German government ordered books from Jewish authors removed for being “subversive” and “anti-German” while having no problem with white supremacist literature? Because that’s what this is.

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

I watched this whole clip. This is bonkers. It makes absolutely no sense at all. It’s no an exception. That’s the wrong word. It’s the word the WH uses. So it IS tariffed. Well it’s not. Because it’s going to be studied for later. But it is under a 20% tariff. Something something buckets.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Panicked SocSec staffers: “If bad actors have access to this database, they could essentially erase people and destroy their lives.” The Trump Administration: “Wait, really?” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

hey guys, just got out of my tiny screws technical training class. anything happen while I was gone?

Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison theonion.com/judge-g...

It is legit incredible to watch the Wall Street Journal OPINION section be ahead of the Democratic Party.

Hey MSM – here's a career-making question for you to point blank ask RFKjr: "Please give the American public a succinct summary of the scientific method." He can't answer it.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

The 30 permanent and 20 seasonal employees of Great Basin National Park serve 150,000 visitors a year, an industry which generates more than $10 million in visitor spending and is responsible for two-thirds of White Pine County's sales tax revenue. "Negative productivity" indeed.

It's so funny how they rant and rave against Marxists and what not, but man, do they sound like failed Soviet leaders. "You have been reassigned from hospital doctor to toaster maker. Please go to factory at 5 a.m. for shift."

Well said.

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.

Foreigners are dumping U.S. Stocks at the fastest pace in more than 2 years 🚨🚨

The war in Ukraine is now largely being fought with drones. Ukraine made 2 million last year. Drone makers churn them out in factories and mom-and-pop operations like one in a Kyiv basement apartment.

Found in many personal care products, "fragrance" can include hundreds of chemicals and it’s hard to say whether those ingredients are safe, say experts. Here's how to choose healthier alternatives.

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

There is no way what just happened with Apple isn’t coordinated, extreme insider trading. Millions in call options hit the tape hours before news dropped that iPhones were exempt from tariffs. I’m writing quickly to explain why. This is brazen corruption from the White House.

Southern California Edison, the electric utility whose equipment has been the focus of investigations into the deadly Eaton fire, said on Friday that it planned to bury over 150 miles of power lines in fire-prone areas near Altadena and Malibu — one of the top requests from fire-ravaged communities.

Money Managers dumped Brent Crude Oil last week at the fastest pace in history 🚨 Probably Fine?

Heparin is just like an iPhone, except it's a bit more compact and you use it to prevent blood clots instead.

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.

Someone should check which Trump allies and members of Congress bought Apple/tech stock on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/t...

On Friday, April 11, traders placed large, aggressive bets that Apple’s stock would jump within days. They bought contracts that would only be profitable if the stock moved up fast. Hours later, the White House quietly announced a major policy shift. data-and-politics.ghost.io/173-returns-...

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Just dropped a new piece on my newsletter. Were the trades made before Trump’s April 9 tariff announcement luck or insider trading? I estimate the odds it was luck alone. 1 in 4,484. And the payout amount? Over 1 in 10 million. data-and-politics.ghost.io/3-500-return...

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

Been thinking of old Letterman clips for some reason.
