I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.

Dems are too afraid of sounding classist in the economic sense to make the obvious observation that the Trump GOP has leaned hard into being the part of trash. That’s their elevator pitch. Are you human garbage tired of being made to feel inferior to basically decent people? We’re on your side!
Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

Interactions from the last few days show ICE officers running their mouths at witnesses of their lawlessness. Now they’re directing violence at them, too.
Video of a scary scene in Adams Morgan last night is making the rounds on DC listservs.
The feds (presumably ICE) seemed to be making immigration/traffic stops. When protesters started shouting, one pointed his Taser at them until other protesters tried to deescalate things...

Again, stay tuned.

COS Statement on “Restoring Gold Standard Science” Executive Order
The Executive Order issued on May 23, 2025, Restoring Gold Standard Science, references several open science practices championed by COS and the open science and metascience communities more generally. Ordinarily, such prominent promotion of these practices would be cause for COS to celebrate advancement of its mission. Unfortunately, their application in this Executive Order is counterproductive for open science’s purpose to accelerate discovery, advance treatments, and create knowledge.
