This is good! As Julia writes in the article, we don’t know whether the Senate will also pass it. Hopefully they will. But even if not, this is a blow to the Speaker’s authority and a fracture within the Republican ranks.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

I'm excited that this thread gives me the opportunity to follow a prompt from yesterday to "post a tweet you still think about" with something I took as advice from you years ago!

Image of quote tweet, original from @susandamussen says,
And this: sweet potatoes "prosper in inferior soils, tolerate drought, resist insect pests, and do well with very little attention."

Reply from @tressiemcphd says,
Be a sweet potato

We in the legal profession really need to have a moment of introspection about how our commitment to "civility" above all else didn't just enable everything we're seeing now, it helped *cause* it. Some arguments should not be met with civility. Sometimes civility only serves oppression.

It makes no sense to frame this as some sort of correction — adequate nutrition is more important for kids with health conditions, not less. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and was born during the war, lives with his mother and brother in a tent on a Gaza beach.

Mohammed’s mother, Hedaya al-Mutawaq, 31, said the toddler’s father was killed last October when he went out to seek food.

“I walk the streets looking for food,” she said by phone, her voice barely audible. The charity kitchens she relies on to help feed Mohammed and his brother, Joud, 3, cannot always help, and they go hungry. “As an adult, I can bear the hunger,” she said. “But my kids can’t.”

Mohammed, according to his doctor, had pre-existing health problems affecting his brain and his muscle development. But his health deteriorated rapidly in recent months as it became increasingly difficult to find food and medical care, and the medical clinic that treated him said he suffers from severe malnutrition.

“I look at him and I can’t help but cry,” she said.

“We go to bed hungry and wake up thinking only about how to find food,” she added. “I can’t find milk or diapers.”

Still feeling inspired from an amazing trip to Morocco for the @isa-sociology.org Forum in Rabat! This was my first ISA meeting and I loved connecting with old friends and meeting new colleagues in the global sociology community.

#Theoutpost As the meteors blaze through Earth’s atmosphere at over 130,000 mph, they burn up in brilliant flashes of different colors – and those colors reveal what elements are inside. More in alt

The Perseids are back – and every color tells us what they're made of!

Every summer, Earth drifts through the dusty trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle – and the result is one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year: the Perseids.

Peaking in mid-August and active right now, this shower can produce up to 75 meteors per hour under dark skies. But here’s what makes them even more amazing: each meteor’s color reveals what it’s made of.

As the meteors blaze through Earth’s atmosphere at over 130,000 mph, they burn up in brilliant flashes of different colors – and those colors reveal what elements are inside:

🔴 Red = Oxygen & Nitrogen
🟡 Yellow-Gold = Iron
🟣 Violet = Calcium
🟠 Orange = Sodium
🔵 Teal/Blue-Green = Magnesium

The Perseids are active from July 17 to August 24, with peak nights around August 12–13. Even with some moonlight, it’s still one of the best times to look up.

Find a dark sky, let your eyes adjust, and enjoy one of the best sights of the year!
