Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

The Royal Dutch Navy has excellent ships for detecting and removing mines. This is one reason why countries maintain alliances with like-minded nations and don’t behave like cowboys. Intelligent people know this.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Climate Desk Newsletter
STORIES FROM MOTHER JONES AND ITS PARTNERS

As a veteran science reporter, I have long tracked how research can be distorted for profit. The tobacco industry may be the most famous practitioner, but efforts to besmirch independent evidence of a product’s potential harm as “junk science” have been financed by the chemical, fossil fuel, pharmaceutical, and sugar industries, among others.

 

Now Republican power players are taking things even further by censoring science they dislike. Notably, last month, the Federal Judicial Center—an educational agency Congress created in 1967 to serve the judicial branch—deleted a chapter on climate science from an influential reference manual federal judges have long used to parse complex science issues in the courtroom.

 

The deletion was orchestrated by 27 Republican attorneys general who called for the chapter’s immediate withdrawal in order to retain the “judiciary’s impartiality” in climate and energy cases.

Our latest newsletter explores a type of censorship that may have gone under the radar. The federal government has erased climate change from the scientific manual judges reference.

REVEALED: What did Andy Ogles do with nearly $25,000 meant for child burial garden? He won't say Now, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has uncovered more questions that the freshman Republican won't answer.

Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Screenshot of an X post by Dan Scavino reading, “Happening Now in the Oval Office at the @WhiteHouse. God Bless the USA!” with prayer, heart, U.S. flag, and eagle emojis. Below is a photo inside the Oval Office showing Donald Trump seated at the Resolute Desk while a large group of men in suits stand around him in a circle with heads bowed and hands extended in prayer. American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.
