She was thoughtful, devoted to science and truth, and an extraordinary reporter to work with. Her integrity, kindness, & willingness to listen to public health workers in the thick of it all made her one of a kind. The gap she leaves behind is enormous. Helen you’ll be deeply missed. Rest easy 💔

Arlington Cemetery is hallowed ground. A final resting place for our fallen heroes who were brave enough to serve. How dare this five-time draft dodger dishonor them by trying to erect a monument to his own vanity? Veterans will not let him get away with it.

22 of our servicemembers have been killed in Trump's illegal war. Not 18 like we were told. The Pentagon hid four more heroes' deaths from us for months. Congress cannot let them get away with this. I wrote a bill we can pass to stop this egregious playbook immediately.
washingtonpost.com
More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

Afternoon thought: We’re getting bogged down in arguments over case definitions and exactly how many deaths “count,” and it’s obscuring the bigger point: We have a massive measles outbreak. People are dying. Families need clear, accurate, consistent guidance on staying safe.

The escalation ladder Russia and NATO are on is reaching the dangerous rungs. US intelligence assesses Russia is planning another direct provocation on NATO. NATO is flying their most aggressive ISR routes/show of force around Kaliningrad in recent memory. Easy to see how this could go sideways.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

1/6 Imagine your company announced that everyone hired in the last year was fired on Friday. Then, when the union objected, management said: “These aren't layoffs. We just individually decided thousands of people weren't working out.” That is essentially what an arbitrator found happened at HHS.

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.
“That is a lie,” wrote Jose Trinidad Rojas, 51, in a handwritten statement. “It is impossible for them to say that they were going to get run over … there were no officers in front of or behind the vehicle. They were on the sides.”

Balderas-Ibarra spoke to Rojas, Daniel Tirado Pantoja, 43, and the shooting victim’s brother, Victor Salgado, 44, and said he heard the same story from each as he interviewed them separately. The men are not being housed together, the attorney said. All three are undocumented Mexican immigrants who are now facing removal proceedings.

“All of them reiterated that there were never any ICE agents in front of the van,” Balderas-Ibarra said. “They came in and started shooting from the sides.”

A color photograph of Dr. Ann Tsukamoto (1952–present), the pioneering biologist and stem-cell researcher whose co-patented process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells revolutionized regenerative medicine and cancer therapeutics. Dr. Tsukamoto smiles warmly directly at the camera, her expression radiating intelligence, approachable confidence, and a proud, serene mood. She has shoulder-length, wavy grey and silver hair parted slightly to the side, framing her face. She wears a structured, dark grey or olive-green textured tweed jacket with an elegant raised mandarin collar. The background is a soft, beautifully blurred out-of-focus garden setting filled with lush green foliage, fronds, and natural sunlight filtering through the trees. The bright lighting casts a soft glow on her features, highlighting her historic legacy as a monumental figure for women in STEM.
