New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks is a Super Bowl matchup that begs you to go clean out the garage or spend the evening bowling.

Indiana House Republicans just voted against giving you the same sales tax exemption on your utility bill that data centers have.
If data centers don't have to pay the 7% sales tax, neither should you.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Regular people in Minnesota standing up to ICE and protecting their neighbors. Denmark and Belgium taking the strongest stances of European countries against Trump’s Greenland threats. Amazing how those with less power take action and sacrifice, while so many of the powerful equivocate and cower.

It's hard to even explain what a disaster this is for the US economy in the short-term — as well as US innovation and industry in decades to come. Immigrants and foreign students at our universities are—as always have been—the wellspring of American invention and innovation.
New research concludes the Trump administration’s policies will reduce **legal** immigration to the United States by 33% to 50% over four years.
