Well my opinion of Jack Smith’s character is higher now than it was this morning. So there’s that. Let’s see what else he had to say during his testimony today. Oh.

Season 1 of this American Horror Story includes the President suggesting we might at some point in the future see him in a swim suit.

There are more rapists walking free at Cornell than there are transgender college students competing in sports. Guess which ones American oligarchs want you to focus on so their Republican buddies get reelected?

While they attempt to stir up outrage about the Pledge and civic awareness, they post AI slop of the flag with 15 stripes. Is our government trolling us, or are they really this inept/dependent on AI/ignorant (some hideous combination of the three)? Disrespecting the flag… to own the Libs. 🫤

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were: 1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and 2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.

If you care about protecting Big Bend, it may be time to rethink where you spend your money. YETI co-founder Ryan Seiders is part-owner of a West Texas ranch that has been facilitating construction tied to Trump’s border wall project in the Big Bend region.

Trump II has profound consequences that will last a century: -destruction of administrative state & civil service -extreme wealth concentration, tech oligarchy -climate rollbacks -end of rule of law w/o pushback incentivizes future backsliding -Iran Pundits hate this because it sounds shrill

Tonight I filed all paperwork for my emergency medical responder/EMR license in the state of WI. I’m 51, have spent two decades as a stay-at-home mom of four w/ a husband who travelled for his career, and I’m kind of proud of myself. This has pushed me out of my comfort zone. That’s a good thing.

I'd also just note that Trump always does shit like this when he has a week where it's shown he has literally 0 juice. Can't get the senate to listen on the save act, can't get his AG nominated.

On Tuesday, the Trump Admin announced they were ending the Medicare Part D subsidy program. Touching the third rail of politics is a heckuva strategy going into midterms (part D open enrollment starts 10/15). My latest analysis for @msnowreports.bsky.social. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Opinion | Trump’s Medicare change comes at a curious time
Less than three weeks before the midterm elections, America’s most reliable voting bloc will receive notice of higher healthcare costs.

New in PN: The new "science golden age" looks suspiciously like a grift "It’s impossible not to wonder whether part of Trump’s loathing for universities is that there's no way for him to corrupt the process and make money off it in the same way he can by giving billions to Silicon Valley types."

Trump wants to run scientific research like his family business.

Dr. Euphemia Haynes was the first Black woman to earn a PhD in mathematics (1943). For 47 years, she taught in the public schools of Washington, DC. In 1966, became the first woman to chair the DC Board of #Education. She died #OTD in 1980. #WomenInSTEM #EduSky
Classyc black-and-white studio portrait of Dr. Euphemia Lofton Haynes (1890–1980), a pioneering educator and the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics. She faces forward with a serene, dignified, and intelligent expression. Her dark eyes look directly past the viewer, accompanied by a soft, composed, closed-mouth smile that conveys warmth, resilience, and authority. Her graying hair is meticulously styled upwards in elegant, soft curls, framing her face cleanly.She wears a simple, dark, V-neck dress or blouse, accessorized with a prominent, polished metallic link necklace that follows her neckline and a single matching pearl or button earring visible on her right ear. The backdrop is a neutral, solid studio gradient that transitions smoothly from light grey to dark grey, completely focusing attention on her. The lighting is soft and directional, illuminating the front of her face while leaving a gentle shadow on her left cheek, adding depth and texture to the portrait. The overall mood is deeply respectful, formal, and timelessly professional. This image carries profound historical significance, representing a trailblazing woman who dismantled racial and gender barriers in academia. Beyond her historic 1943 doctoral degree from the Catholic University of America, Dr. Haynes spent forty years reforming the Washington, D.C., public school system, fiercely advocating for integration and quality education for all students.
