Whew, some good news for a change!
Just spoke to an Afghani friend (in Australia) who said the internet is back across Afghanistan since Wednesday, and incoming flights resumed just in time for some medication he’d sent to a relative to reach her before the last of the previous batch ran out.

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.
When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

I want to nuance this:
Americans often root for people who stand up for themselves.
They don't always show up for people who stand up for themselves.
They don't always have those people's backs.
We need to go HARD now for those who stand up to Trump, like Pritzker and AOC.
SO HARD.

Americans root for people who stand up for themselves, whether they do it in a newsletter, at a press conference, through an influencer, or on social media. But they won’t root for a pushover, just because he happens to be on TikTok. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

The word "systemic" is on the banned list, so if I study systemic inflammation & health, flagged. If I study political science, flagged. If I study trauma, flagged. Keep in mind that the largest mental health provider in the country is the Veteran's Administration, but we can't study trauma now?
