The brain drain is real
“Of the 46 awardees, 19 are US nationals, 13 are French and 8 are originally from other European nations.” 👀
The high proportion of US scientists among those recruited by France shows that “enthusiasm and morale for doing science is low” in the US, says Sharon Milgram, who led early-career researcher programs at NIH for nearly 20 years, until she retired in December.

Corporate media WANTS the GOP in charge FOREVER. That is why you barely hear about the plan to seize all the ballots in Dem areas in Nov 2026. It is going to happen unless we AGGRESSIVELY fight back.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

The brother of a friend of ours read this aloud and posted it to his socials last night. “Jesus wept” indeed.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

“We will guarantee his safety,” says the Kremlin.
- This from the same system that guarantees safety with poison, prisons, or windows.
"Inviting Zelensky to Moscow for “talks” isn’t diplomacy."
- It’s dark comedy written by people who think memory resets every news cycle.

From day one, when he came down that elevator, Trump's been working for Putin, & now comes Trump's gift of all gifts to the Russian thug---US withdrawal from NATO.
Putin will now be free to threaten to use his nukes & submarines to conquer all of Europe.

I was in the midst of preparing a Morning Memo arguing that Minneapolis is shaping up to be the catalyzing moment that Trump was looking for to justify doing what he has wanted to do since his 1st term: invoke the Insurrection Act...when he posted exactly that:
