“I asked Rao about the effects of Trump’s cuts to science. “It’s very stupid,” he said. “Invention doesn’t come out of the blue.” He gave an example: if the U.S. reduces funding for cancer research, “it would now be natural that China might invent a cancer vaccine before the U.S.”

The Future, Made in China

Beijing is competing with the U.S. for tech supremacy. Who wins will have huge political implications.

I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

I hope people will actually listen to the statements of El Sayed about his focus--improving the lives of the people of Michigan, getting money out of politics, unrigging the system, standing up to Trump, Rogers & MAGA--and tune out the inside-the-beltway soap opera about division peddled by pundits.

🎁 “data centers…water use & noise are…cited as objections by neighbors & environmentalists. Less mentioned has been the pollution from the scores of gas-burning plants that will power these data centers…El Paso facility’s power plant…could emit as much…CO2 in a year as 360,000 gas-powered” cars

This was an op-ed that should have been an interview. If Ellison wants to make the case he won’t politicize the news why give him a pass on the evidence that he already has?

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

“The two biggest factors, experts say, are the isolation of living in a sparsely populated state & easy access to guns. Suicide attempts are typically more impulsive than the common understanding suggests, & those made with guns are far more likely to be lethal than attempts with other methods.

Opinion | The Suicide Crisis in Wyoming

Wyoming has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation.

Todd Blanche's last-minute promise won over Senators Cornyn & Tillis, but shouldn't have. The "deal" leaves Trump's tax immunity intact. It confirms what the Senators should have already known about Blanche's lack of fitness to be AG. My analysis: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Durbin: "Mr Blanche has aided and abetted the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States ... Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about he statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."
