Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

This should be an entire impeachment trial on its own. The destruction of NSF through impoundment, office shuffles, etc. is obliterating 70 years of bipartisan efforts that turned us into a global scientific superpower and thus a technological and economic superpower.

This is a good article. Worth a read if you're interested in the Kansas Senate race. Hamilton is an interesting person. I've read several of his books and he's not easy to fit into a simple box. Vance calling him a leftist is very funny to me.

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.

This is what Ahmed Soliman's attorney wants from you:

"Everything about the way Ahmed and his fellows have been treated, from the time they were -- in Ahmed's case physically picked up off the ground when he was asking for his fear interview, invoking his rights under international and domestic law -- everything that has happened to them has been in violation of the rights that Ahmed and others and all of us grow up believing that we have," she said.

She said she hoped every American would feel "deep outrage" about the way Soliman and the others sent to Equatorial Guinea were being treated and demand their elected officials uphold their rights.

"This is the line," she said. "This is beyond the pale."
