I've got a piece out today @theatlantic.com with @dashunwang.bsky.social on how the Republican Party in Congress continues to fund science, pushing back against the Trump Administration's most anti science funding proposals. (gift link)

The Republicans Made Peace With Science
The Trump administration’s hostility to science is real, but it isn’t matched by the rest of the GOP’s.

See that gun cross below the American flag? That’s the “Grunt Style” insignia that’s been adopted by the alt-right extremists such as 3%r’s & Oathkeepers. Their agenda is coordinated and aligned w/Russia & our alt-right extremist issue across the world is tied to Oligarch/Russia pursuit of new order

If this is what “legal representation” looked like for Epstein network survivors, the public and survivors deserve answers.

Many people have told me I should change my last name, but instead, Donald should change his.

"Donald Epstein" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

As Trump escalates an anti-democratic crackdown, organizers can look to North Carolina's “Moral Mondays” a weekly action + a broad coalition led by Rev. William J. Barber & the NAACP.

Ireland's basic income pilot for artists worked so well they made it permanent. The economic growth it generated paid back more than its net cost, study shows.

How many people are being held back from their potential because they're living bill-to-bill? UBI is true freedom.

There isn't proof the epstein crowd used jerky as code for cannibalism. They may have, but we don't know for sure, so don't accept it as fact. The rumor might be astrofoil, intended to make their pedophilia seem like not a big deal or also a hoax.
