There's a clear choice in this race: Do you want a pro-choice Senator, or another yes vote for Trump's anti-abortion agenda? In the Senate, I'm going to fight to restore abortion access, and I'm grateful for everyone who joined us today to talk to their neighbors about the choice in this race.

Boo! Behold the whitemargin stargazer. It inhabits parts of the Indo-Pacific. This ambush predator's upturned face allows it to spend much of its time burrowed beneath the sand—waiting patiently for passing prey like fish or crustaceans. Photo: Robin Gwen Agarwal, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

Donald Trump and his war in Iran are to blame for our nation's sky-high diesel and gas prices. His latest ploy—buying fuel from his friend Vladimir Putin—reeks of weakness and will help pay for Russia’s war but will do nothing to make life more affordable for American families.

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

This seems to be a total collapse of ethics review. There is a reason that experienced scientific and medical researchers review studies that involve human subjects. Another safety valve is usually the funding agency, which normally wouldn’t let this through. But, you know…RFK Jr.
