The panel found flaws with a state trooper’s questioning of Tupe Smith, the woman involved in the case that was thrown out, as well as with the grand jury process that led to her indictment.

Alaska drops voter misconduct cases against American Samoans who checked ‘US citizen’ box
The decision comes after a three-judge Court of Appeals panel ruled a week earlier that state law requires proof that defendants who erroneously filled out voter registration forms had a “consciousness of wrongdoing” and intended to break the law.

1. Madrid is special for me as it's my 600th consecutive F1 race attended without missing one, a run that started in Japan in 1994. I believe I'm only the fifth person in the paddock to reach that number without a break - and I'm the only one on the list who is still adding to their streak!

A photographer in the Chatsworth Nature Preserve in Los Angeles captured a real-life image of something you would never see in cartoons: a coyote who successfully nabbed a road runner, instead of falling from a cliff, getting hit by a train or having an anvil land on him.

Monday was a tough day when we learned that NOAA was ending support for the Arctic Report Card. Since then we're received many expressions of solidarity, showing the value of the ARC to a wide audience. For that I am VERY grateful. #akwx #Arctic #Climate @climate.us @agu.org @drtwilamoon.bsky.social
Screenshot of the Alaska Beacon reporting on the end of NOAA support for the Arctic Report Card. Headline text reads: "Trump administration ends NOAA support for annual Arctic Report Card

More important, the bat viruses that the grant paid the lab to study are so genetically distant from SARS-CoV-2 that they could not have produced it, a point that independent virologists have made repeatedly. That disposes of the specific charge that research that Fauci’s agency funded produced the virus. It did not.

Screenshot of an old tweet of mine from 4/18/25:

Some of y'all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.

Regulations don't exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story
