Gary Larson created the term Thagomizer in 1982.
In 1993, paleontologist Ken Carpenter was the first to use the term in a scientific context.
It is now widely accepted and used to describe the spikes on a stegosaur's tail.

Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

I guess I am hitting a nerve, because they just put me on admin leave.

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

"This is all no big deal and the president is currently strategizing his response with his aides in the White House Situation Room. No big deal at all."
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

I remember this game. Alabama vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl in 2013.

The score was tied when the ref made a call and ‘Bama was given a field goal with one second on the clock.

They missed.

The rest is legendary.

If you recently learned that the Supreme Court granted review in a major voting case and the Utah GOP suffered a defeat in their effort to rig maps, you probably subscribe to Democracy Docket.

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

This.

Knowing that they were going to do this, they should have addressed the public on the decision. Made USE of the moment.
This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

GÜIRIA, Venezuela (AP) — One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
