Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate.

Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

This is what ICE is so afraid of that they think they need the national guard as backup.

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

There are more people employed by NIH than coal mining (though Trump et alia are working hard to reduce NIH-related employment...)

Finally, I’m currently on the job market, and would love to hear about any open faculty positions you have in your department!

I’m interested in tenure track positions both in the US and abroad.

Out of the blue, Trump called the Norwegian finance minister to ask when he would get the Nobel prize suggesting he would impose tariffs if he did not www.dn.no/politikk/fre...
Kilder til DN: Trump tok opp nobelpris i tolltelefon med Stoltenberg (+)
Ut av det blå, mens finansminister Jens Stoltenberg gikk på gaten i Oslo, ringte Donald Trump fra Det hvite hus. Han ville ha Nobelprisen – og diskutere toll.

Every night Stephen Miller must return to his carefully calibrated vat of restorative goo, made of ground up small mammals and the tears of children, for a full 10 hours, or his skin, already so sickly, will begin to slough off in chunks.

Crime in D.C. hit a 30-year low last year.

Trump deploying the National Guard on the city is yet another authoritarian show of force.

It's straight out of the dictator's playbook. https://youtu.be/WSxJRIiCNs8?feature=shared

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

A reminder that Brazil arrested and charged their former dictator Bolsonaro with planning a coup and trying to overturn the 2022 elections in their country.

If only the United States had done the same instead of giving the plotter of a coup full totalitarian power of the govt.
