Lobbyist Who Helped a Client Pursue a Pardon is Arrested on an Extortion Charge

SCOOP: Josh Nass, a lobbyist who worked to secure a pardon from Trump for a client, was arrested Friday & charged with attempted extortion, apparently for trying to collect an additional $500k he was owed by the pardoned client, Joseph Schwartz.

And, I have spoken to several colleagues here who have family members or friends doing science in authoritarian or formerly authoritarian regimes.

And the stories are extremely bleak: the US is speed running down the “authoritarian takeover of science” path

We started the paperwork for this travel back in December. And still I got a message about a month out saying that the NIH presidential appointee (political commissar) didn't approve in time for the HHS/OMB review so my travel, and all my group's travel, was being cancelled.

And they bring that knowledge back to the US.

We are watching brain science gradually move outside the US, boosted by the efforts of the Trump White House, Russell Vought, Project 2025, and Jay Bhattacharya.

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended

"This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"

"I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

If we had a functioning democratic republic, we would have removed GWB and Deadeye Dick Cheney from office in 2003 instead of passing the AUMF allowing the second Gulf War.

We now live in the rotting corpse of the republic, with the government and major institutions captured by oligarchs.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Maggot Hagerman, just another SLEAZEBAG writer for The Failing New York Times, insists on writing false stories about me, even though she fully knows and understands that the exact opposite of anything she says is usually the truth. In any event, I'm thinking of adding Maggot, and some of her "associates," into my Florida based Lawsuit against The Times which, very happily, seems to be proceeding nicely.

DeSoto Master Gardener Don Murphy Shares Seeds of Inspiration Master Gardener Don Murphy of Southaven, Miss., spearheaded efforts last year to offer seed libraries in two public DeSoto County libraries.

“One key lesson which helped me to be less frantic in the garden was (realizing) that doing the same thing year after year doesn’t produce the same results,” Master Gardener Don Murphy said. “Each year has unique challenges.”

This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.

Must-read reporting by ProPublica.

Trump posted this to Truth Social where he brazenly admits his puppet-master role over censorship & firing decisions at the FCC, CNN, CBS, Comcast & Disney, among others.

So much for Bari Weiss and David Ellison's claims to be independent, free press champions.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcast licenses over Iran War coverage

Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change! Trump "Truth": Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

Change in Data Sources Led to Lower Inflation Reading

An obscure methodological tweak -- a change in the source of data on the price of legal services -- resulted in meaningfully lower monthly PCE inflation in January. That's prompting questions about why the change was made and why it wasn't disclosed publicly.
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b... #EconSky

And as @courtneyshupert.bsky.social put it to me today:
“It seems like we are moving to more of a vague, uncertain, cloudy data quality environment that is going to make market participants less confident in the data that we do receive."

But what worried economists like @jc-econ.bsky.social and @courtneyshupert.bsky.social is the WAY the change was made: on an ad hoc basis, outside the normal revision cycle, and without public disclosure.
