In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

A private equity firm just bought £1.6 BILLION worth of the NHS.
It will make bigger profits by hiking rents for hospitals and NHS facilities. Previous govts privatized the estate.
That means less money for frontline healthcare. NHS already drained by PFI and private contractors.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

This is good news if you think our banking system is too secure.
BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.
FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Just to crack the code here: there is no evidence at all that the Trump Administration _can_ bring this man back...but it also cannot _admit_ that it cannot bring him back, because if it admits that it will be conceding that it sold this man to El Salvador permanently and Bukele will not return him.
