Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

I just hope I don’t get stuck in Corn Syrup on my way to Urban Housing. 🙃
Below is a clever visualization of the distribution of how land is used in the US. Cows roam over a lot of land!

But this is not a map - for example, the 100 largest landowning families aren't confined to Florida.

Is it important that the media can report the news without government censorship?
In the United States, 92% say it is important.

Lee once said: “Democracy is not the objective.” That’s not just a soundbite—it’s his ideology. When you look at his record, it’s clear: Mike Lee wants a government that serves the elite, not the people. #AntiDemocracy #AuthoritarianGOP #MikeLee

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

I have a 30-minute drive home from work, and I listened to this episode from 41:32 to 46:22 on repeat the whole way for it to really sink in. So very well written and delivered too.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

WATCH: Project 2025 warned against using apps like SIGNAL to conduct official business👇🏽

Translation: They knew it was illegal and did it anyway - to keep it hidden from records requests.

SIGNAL itself is an underdiscussed part of this scandal. #HegsethGate #WaltzGate
