When the current chief justice was a little boy, did his mommy parade him around the neighborhood saying, "my little Johnny is going to grow up to destroy the Constitution. We are so proud."?

UK and US Big pharma have agreed to zero tariffs on drugs the UK exports to the US. In exchange, British patients will pay 25 % more for such drugs in the NHS. I hope I misunderstood this story, because it's one more outrage in the daily horror of trmp's America pharmaphorum.com/news/mps-see...

The War on Terror began 25 years ago today, when Congress passed the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force. Only one member of Congress had the courage and foresight to oppose this blank check for forever wars: Barbara Lee.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

America’s trend toward higher profits, higher share prices, and mounting executive pay but near stagnant wages is unsustainable — economically and politically. It's time to bring back profit sharing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Major retraction: the Google worm did not turn but rolled over and played dead and renamed Lake Ontario at the whim of the degenerate in chief. Apple maps is still holding firm but I will check them every day. MapQuest has also retained sanity.

The worm has made a tiny turn. Google maps changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico within seconds of the chief degenerate ordering it to be renamed - but Lake Ontario is still Lake Ontario

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

It's an all hands on deck moment. Lawyers need to do their job to protect elections. Courts must do their job to ensure the law is followed. And, voters must make sure they have a plan to vote and turn out.

Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.

Teddy Roosevelt had this to say about Franklin Pierce (US president 1853-57) He was “a servile tool of men worse than himself ... ever ready to do any work the slavery leaders set him.” Okay, history students, for extra credit compare and contrast Pierce with the current occupant

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.
