Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.

Terrific article about the govt's new "science policy" that shreds university basic research in favor of a tech bro approach to innovation. Little does the Trump admin realize that innovations from drugs to AI depend on basic research that the for-profit sector does not produce.

New in PN: The new "science golden age" looks suspiciously like a grift "It’s impossible not to wonder whether part of Trump’s loathing for universities is that there's no way for him to corrupt the process and make money off it in the same way he can by giving billions to Silicon Valley types."

Mike Collins abruptly wrapped up a press conference instead of answering questions about his close ties with a prominent neo-Nazi propagandist

He really does run to the Supreme Court with emergency filings every chance he gets. Trump just asked the Supreme Court to overturn the $83.3 million jury award against him for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll after a jury found he made false and damaging statements about her.

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Overturn $83.3 Million Award in Carroll Defamation Case

President Trump paid E. Jean Carroll more than $5 million from a 2023 lawsuit, but he is now asking the court to overturn a much larger award that a jury ordered him to pay in 2024 for defaming her.

Have you noticed the tributes to Lindsey Graham don't cite any actual legislative accomplishments that benefited his constituents? It's a lot of "he was a strong voice" & "got along with everyone"- generic stuff you could say about anyone. His actual legacy is fluffing Trump & reckless war-mongering

Warsh: "The economy is showing impressively resilience. Even with recent shocks, the trends are positive and reveal solid growth. Inflation remains elevated."

Todd Blanche AG nomination on edge as Sen. Cornyn questions Trump-IRS settlement Don’t be a patsy!! Vote no to confirm him do the honorable thing senator Cornyn. It takes courage to stand up to him actually it’s not really courage. It’s being honest about the bullshit going on.
