Whether it's Zohran Mamdani trying to help hungry poor people afford food or it's Donald Trump asking the Supreme Court to starve them to death, both sides have taken an interest in food affordability.

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin:
Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author.
Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

Her sister wrote my favorite essay about her. She points out that RF would have been famous even if she'd never looked at DNA

Trump taps DEI critic to lead workplace civil rights agency
President Donald Trump has named Andrea Lucas as chair of the country's top workplace civil rights agency, the agency announced Thursday. The move signals a vote of confidence for Lucas's efforts to stamp out diversity programs, roll back protections for transgender workers and prioritize religious rights in the workplace. First nominated to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2020 during Trump's first administration, Lucas was confirmed in July for a second five-year term.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.
They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

The media is already trying to frame the NYC mayoral race as a “rift in the Democratic Party”…
But here’s the real story:
A majority of REPUBLICAN voters in NYC voted for a DEMOCRAT(Cuomo), just to stop a PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT (Mamdani) from winning… and the progressive STILL WON.
