Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY!
That’s where we are now.

folks, if they deported people during the break in the hearing about deporting exactly these people, we’re in completely lawless territory.
if the government can engage in irreparable harm while the judge is hearing argument, there’s no real process left.

UPDATE: Lawyer for govt, Drew Ensign, cited 'grave national security issue' in declining to discuss current state of the deportations in a public hearing, so judge took it private. But looks like one El Salvador-bound flight took off during a break in the hearing www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

The ONLY Democratic discourse should not be "Shall we censure a colleague for protesting?!?!?" but "Why didn't any of us go to Elon Musk in the gallery to do what we ALL KNOW should have been done to history's greatest monsters?"

It's hard to overstate how much this show ruled, and how much this era of weird TV, along with Sealab 2021 and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, shaped my comedic brain, for better or worse.

Acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove assembled DOJ's remaining public corruption prosecutors this morning and gave them an hour to find someone to sign the Eric Adams dismissal.
One of them agreed to do it, to spare the others from potentially being fired.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.
“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.
