Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

@durbin.senate.gov I am one of your constituents asking you to not cave to the GOP on the government shutdown. We all know they will not deliver on any promises made as part of a "deal." They created this and are rightly being blamed for it by the people. Let them pay the price for it.

MAGA troll farms attempted to gaslight the US public to turn them away from the NoKings protest coverage. They spread disinformation ranging from "the protests aren't real" to "these videos are from [insert different date or event]". It was a coordinated disinfo attack.

Science Family journals use Proofig for image duplication detection. In January, Holden said they'd only documented 23 problems out of the last 2000 papers scanned, impressive! I downloaded the last 80 papers from Science Advances and found this published 2 days ago.
