The White House appears to be inventing new excuses for war in the Caribbean, with drugs no longer serving as the main selling point. It looks like a grab for oil, with minerals also in play. It’s really starting to sound more like an invasion.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.
This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

If the vast vast majority of Americans want reasonable gun controls and they can't get passed by the Congress then our democracy is broken. Or to be more accurate, it has been corrupted. The consciences and reason of our DC leaders have been purchased...for a pittance. Stop the $$ to stop the guns.

For @theringer.com.web.brid.gy I was pleased to be given a lot of (too much?) space to write about Bob Dylan's ongoing ROUGH & ROWDY WAYS tour, the strangest, most singular, and most predictable/unpredictable musical experience of the decade.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

To be clear, if a military vessel tries to flee an engagement (say, to rejoin its fleet), you can fire on it again. But if what the WSJ is saying, then Bradley and his JAG tormented that logic to inanity - and I'd bet they did so because they were trying to conform to Hegseth's orders.
This is why, after a battle, you execute any wounded trying to crawl away.
Eh? You *don't* do that?
It's barbaric, cruel, and evil?
Has anyone told Hicseth this?

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

So Rs right now are assaulting our health care system, raising prices on everything, exploding the deficit, throwing people in gulags, cutting off food assistance to 42m despite a court order and now threatening not to pay federal workers money they are clearly owed. Villains they are.
Q: Does the administration guarantee that all furloughed federal workers will get back pay?
LEAVITT: This is something we are very much open to discussing with Democrats as part of the discussions about the continuing resolution
