There’s a chance my freedom of information requests for the Cass papers may escalate into a full judicial review of the Cass Review. I still have an administrative avenue to pursue, so let’s keep it in suspense for now.

This by @simonbm.bsky.social is the most perceptive comment I have yet seen to explain the current rise of far right parties:
‘The thing about authoritarian regimes is that they don’t need majority support. They need fanaticised minority support and majority acquiescence.’

MXene-supported ruthenium catalyst accelerates upcycling of plastics
Plastics are valued for their durability, but that quality also makes them difficult to break down. Tiny pieces of debris known as microplastics persist in soil, water and air and threaten ecosystems and human health.

When Congress drags its feet on farm policy, it’s not “politics as usual.”
It’s higher grocery prices. It’s family farms going under.
It’s kids going hungry because SNAP benefits were cut.
Working Americans deserve better and that’s what I am fighting for in Congress.

Did anyone notice how RFKjr has a fascy fight with neurodivergence that often ends up with nonsense that blames mothers?
Apparently his new reveal might be that Tylenol (paracetamol) taken during pregnancy causes autism.🤦♀️
That nonsense has been debunked already, but RFKjr doesn't operate with facts.

Q: “Did Trump ask the DOJ to close the Homan bribe case, and does he have to return the $50,000?”
LEAVITT: “He didn’t take the money, he did nothing wrong, he is a brave public servant.”
(It’s reportedly on tape. also: Biden “weaponized the DOJ”… but never released this?)
