Please warn everyone you know—do NOT use votesafe(dot)org! Elon Musk has created it as a way to “harvest and sell your data.” Gross! Link to the Popular Information article in first comment. Vote Reg info in second comment!

A professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work. Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Fearing that educated judges might rule on climate cases, Republican Attorneys General successfully bullied the The Federal Judicial Center (the education & research arm of the federal court system) into removing a chapter summarizing climate science from their scientific judicial reference manual.
In a letter Friday to West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey, the Federal Judicial Center said it had "omitted" the climate science chapter from its latest
Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence. The removal marks a significant victory for Republican efforts to thwart a raft of climate lawsuits that the fossil fuel industry has warned could cost it billions of dollars. On Friday, the Republican Attorneys General Association congratulated its members on X, writing that the "Federal Judicial Center has announced they are removing ridiculous WOKE climate science from judicial
manuals."

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

The Beatles release “Hey Jude” 57 years ago today. McCartney said when he first played it for Lennon — and got to the lyric “the movement you need is on your shoulder” — “I turned around to John. ‘Don’t worry. I’ll change that.’ He looked at me, ‘You won’t, you know — it’s a bloody great line!’”

STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.” There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs. There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown. And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.
