A quick reminder that all the deranged right-wing conspiracy theories about James Talarico are to distract from the fact that their candidate, Ken Paxton, is too much of a coward to agree to a debate.

I believe that Sherrod Brown has decided enough is enough. It is time to send Husted back to find another grift, be it from the data centers or a lackey for Vivek. My favorite line is the last one, right before he says “ I am Sherrod Brown & I approve this message.” Come Ohio!! Elect Sherrod!

Here's what Trump judge Gary Brown said in a filing ON MONDAY about Brenan Cuni, who almost shot a kid in NYC. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
After the Court required a further submission to explain this incongruity,
respondents submitted an affidavit from Brenden Cuni, a Supervisory Detention and
Deportation Officer with ICE, who was responsible for conducting the background
searches. DE 20-7. Cuni was notified “some time before 5:50 PM” that “Petitioner was detained.” Id. ¶3. He searched five separate federal databases, all of which “yielded
negative results.” Id. ¶5 (emphasis added). Cuni then “issued and signed the I-200,
Warrant of Arrest, and checked off the boxes relating to ‘biometric confirmation of the
subject’s identity and a records check of federal databases . . . .’” Id. Of course, since the
records checks were negative, it was undeniably false, though represented as true in the
warrant, that “biometric confirmation [and] records check of federal databases
affirmatively indicate” that the petitioner lacked immigration status. DE 7-1. Cuni
explains that ICE then processed the petitioner, and in so doing, entered his data into
those various databases. After processing (and after the warrant was signed and
executed), Cuni ordered another officer to run “a second records check of the electronic
federal databases, which then yielded positive results . . . because Petitioner’s information
was now part of the system.” DE 20-7 ¶7 (emphasis added).

There is a large community effort to save this museum. I am not a Pennsylvania resident, so I’m somewhat limited in what I can do in terms of contacting people who may be able to step in, but I signed the petition and wrote an email to the president of Drexel University. Here’s what I wrote:
An email from Mars to Antonio Merlo, president of Drexel University. It reads “Hello,
My name is Mars Pinkelman, and I'm neither a Philadelphia resident or a student at Drexel University. That being said, I'm a huge natural history buff. I have been following the Academy of Natural Sciences on instagram since at least 2018, and have wanted to go for at least as long.
Your decision to close this museum, and not just close it, but close it so rapidly, is denying me this nearly 10 year long dream.
Not only does this affect me personally, but it also affects the larger scientific community. There is research being done at the museum. There are 73,000 holotype specimens in the museum. You have a duty not only to the people of the modern world, but also to the collectors of that material, including Lewis and Clark and Thomas Jefferson, to preserve this museum and its collection.
You can't fund the museum? Ask for help. Like I said, I am neither a Philly resident or a Drexel student. I am a relatively poor recent college graduate who doesn't have a full time job. I would pitch in $20-50 dollars at least if I knew it was going to keep this historic museum open to the public. I am one person, with no material connection to the museum and limited resources. If you can get $20 from me, I can't imagine a crowdfunding campaign wouldn't be successful.” (Alt text continued on next image)This is the second half of the alt text for Mars’ email to the president of Drexel University. It reads “To close the museum is to do a disservice. To whom? Everybody. To close this museum is to disrespect the collectors of the millions of specimens who donated or worked with the museum. It's a disrespect to the public, both the public in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but also to folks from far off states and countries who have dreamt of going to this museum.
I wish I could get you to care half as much as I do. I think the fact that you are getting emails from random Illinoisans who have never been to the Academy of Natural Sciences should be seen as incredibly shameful. You have done something so abhorrent that it has extended far past yourself, past the University, past the City of Philadelphia. It has extended globally, into the past and present and future.
I've come at you from a number of directions. I have appealed to the from a scientific perspective, I've appealed from a personal perspective, I've appealed to your reputation. I've done what I can do. Please don't close the museum.”
