Millions march across America to demand #NoKings.

Meanwhile, a one person deep line assembles to watch Trump's birthday parade in Washington DC.

Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day generates more enthusiasm than this pathetic show.

The political assassin in MN appears to be a Christian nationalist & an adherent of the New Apostolic Reformation (w/ which Mike Johnson is also aligned). Christian nationalism is a heresy & one of the gravest threats to our nation. Here's a survey on it from @prri.org.

An Army vet heading to the VA took a wrong turn—and was detained by Marines in LA. While they acted professionally, their detaining him was likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. It’s another line being crossed—and it puts our Marines in a bad spot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
Exclusive: US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows
Marines deployed to Los Angeles carried out the detention of a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump.

We really do need to come up with a term for “government by liars”

“Kakistocracy” isn’t right because it conveys ineptitude, venality, and corruption and maybe dishonesty. But I want something dishonesty specific. Since that is the go-to from the president to virtually every cabinet member.
Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Trump’s brand has become so politically poisonous that the Republican Mayor of Omaha lost her race for a fourth term, simply because she had endorsed him in 2024. 100 days in and the voters have already had enough.

Many American voters are likely to excessively overcorrect from 2024-2025 to look for honest, authentic, effective, consistent communicators who don’t rely on slogans and platitudes in 2026-28. They aren’t plentiful.

The city repeatedly asked the Justice Department to identify alleged antisemitic incidents. The Justice Department never responded. Now the meeting is canceled.

Seems like more people need to be calling the Trump administration's bluffs.

In biology, I keep thinking of the bacterial strains, yeast strains, plasmids, mouse lines, worm mutants etc etc etc that will be lost to science FOREVER because the freezers and animal facilities won't be maintained

Generations of work will be lost in essentially an instant
People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress.

The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.
The damage will be far worse than just a 4-yr gap. Both I and the individual who has managed this site for most of the past 50 yrs are retiring within the next 2 years. With this closure, we will not be able to plan a transition.
