Many predicted DoGE bros were masquerading as efficiency heros. Midterms are coming.

I deeply resent this cartoon. It is unimaginably offensive to suggest that Donald Trump engages in his heinous behavior after asking himself "What Would Betty Bowers Do?"

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.

And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

Sheehy is a low quality individual.

Ex/ shot himself in a parking lot in GNP then lied to a park ranger about it, routinely disparaged native Americans, helped take away tax credits for solar (after installing solar at his house), and most recently hurt a fellow veteran. πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

I’m thrilled to welcome the @pwhlpa.bsky.social to the @aflcio.org as our 65th union!

Women’s hockey players are inspiring a new generation and building power on and off the ice. America’s unions are stronger with the PWHLPA in our union family. bit.ly/4lkwBis

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

I guess this is officially the third Gulf War of my lifetime and you’d think the US would have learned by now that this never ends well.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

So TX has an "anti-DEI law". Is it just specific to hiring?

Great article.

While the article is very focused on dramatic impacts to DEI research, I would say the P2025 agenda and associated disruptions have hurt all fields of science and the premise of evidence based policy. Teams have been disrupted by cuts, restrictions, gaslighting, etc. Morale is low.

Sure there is a whole bunch of land conversions going on. Rangelands (e.g. wildlife habitat) are also being converted into ranchetes and being negatively affected by urban sprawl.

Interesting paper and agree foliar N:P can be a misleading indicator of nutrient limitation.

The authors note soils are high in calcium. If soil pH is also neutral to alkaline then any available P will rapidly become calcium bound making P acquisition difficult for plants.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
