The forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement
In their new book, "Science Under Siege," Peter Hotez and Michael Mann reveal the main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press.

I’m shocked - shocked, I tell you - that refusing FBI criminal background checks likely resulted in… criminals in the administration.
To be fair, that was also the entire point - there were several Trump appointees who wouldn’t have passed an FBI background check.

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

Up to 507 people were massacred in My Lai.
The soldiers said they were just following orders.
They were unlawful orders.
Their excuse didn’t work.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Monday's Thought - I read CNN's CEO visited The Felon. He then told the news division to reduce coverage of the destruction of the East Wing to make room for the new McDonald's restaurant and Ball room. That is obvious corruption. My bet is Jake and Anderson jump on board. Smerconish is there.
