Sure, but it's worth remembering that Sen. Collins is at best a naive fool and at worst a corrupt scoundrel. Or both.

Nah, it's worse than this. Lutnick's kids now control Cantor. They basically bought up the tariffs for companies with the belief that they would be rolled back. This was all a scam by Lutnick to give his own family money. www.wired.com/story/cantor...

It's like a parody, but it's deadly serious; the Commerce Department (which includes Census, NOAA, and others) has outright deleted "don't alter or suppress scientific findings for political reasons" from its scientific integrity rules. Seriously.
Protecting against "inappropriate influence" is no longer a "hallmark" of scientific integrity

The Commerce Department updated its policy for promoting a "culture of scientific integrity" in January 2025, days before Trump's second inauguration.

A new Trump administration order bans the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis from using statistical “noise,” or data for fuzzing survey results, to protect people’s privacy in their statistics.

The 2025 version included bans on attempts to shape or interfere in data collection, statistical analysis and other scientific activities "against well-accepted scientific methods and theories or without scientific justification."

The department's policy, the 2025 version said, involves ensuring scientific findings at its agencies "are not suppressed, delayed, or altered for political purposes and are not subjected to inappropriate influence," as well as making sure there's "independent review of facilities, methodologies, and other scientific activities as appropriate to ensure scientific integrity."

That language is missing, however, in the Trump administration's revision of the policy, according to an NPR analysis of text posted on the Commerce Department's website.

And while the revision adopts a definition for "scientific integrity" that is similar to the previous version, it no longer says that "protection from inappropriate influence" is among the "hallmarks of scientific integrity."

As a Jewish person, I'm horrified by this. This is Holocaust-style imagery used to dehumanize an entire people. Anyone who can't call it a genocide is a coward and failing a basic test of morality and human decency.

Ron DeSantis and his wife didn’t just misappropriate $10M in funds; they misappropriated Medicaid settlement funds for low-income Americans and children. They could have used it to make a difference in the lives of Floridians, not fund their personal wish lists.

Facebook directly enabled the Rohingya genocide. Every executive involved in running the company today chose to work at a company that directly enabled those deaths. Compared to that, it is _nothing_ for their products to cause your children harm. Billions for a settlement is a pittance.

In NYC, I don't believe the National Guard actually has any role in law enforcement. It's weird security theater. On the other hand, the state police deployed first by Cuomo actively "assist" local law enforcement.

*College*, not high school. And not a required course at most state school. A required class in religion at the high school level, especially one that mandates "teaching" a Christian bible, is absolutely an establishment of religion. It's unconstitutional and a bad idea.
