Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.
Wow! The Trump administration couldn’t even label the countries in Africa correctly. They used AI, skipped the fact-checking, and embarrassed the US on the world stage. Not human error. It was laziness and incompetence.
Well put. Which of these two eats road kill and as a consequence, harbors worms that eat his already defective and rotting grey matter. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that there’s flys snacking in there too. I stand with Dr. Fauci. He’s right. Rand Paul has an”unhinged obsession” #USDemocracy

Shaosui Xu, associate research physicist at SSL, was lead author on a paper that described how Mars' localized auroras are generated through a similar process as those on Earth, despite Mars having no global magnetic field. “It’s incredible to be part of the team that found the answer...” said Xu.

SSL's Weijie Sun & Jiutong Zhao, along with @umichengineering.bsky.social's Ryan Dewey, analyzed MESSENGER mission data and found that Mercury has intermittent radiation belts. The findings could help protect the @esa.int/JAXA BepiColombo mission when it reaches Mercury this year.
Mercury has part-time radiation belts
Scientists thought Mercury's magnetic field was disrupted by the sun too often to trap a radiation belt, but new analysis of MESSENGER data says that's not always the case.

Isn’t it weird that Trump’s speech never mentioned Russia – probably the single biggest perpetrator of election influence?
Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.
Calling a heart attack a "brief and unexpected illness" is some interesting wordsmithing for literally no good reason.
If you’re a Democrat and plan to vote this fall, please acquaint yourself now with what looks to me to be a highly skilled extrapolation of where that’s headed. Which is by definition not merely a best guess.

1. Young people are choosing not to have kids. 2. Civilization is really changing fast due to invasive social media and AI. Eventually, everywhere you see teens working now, you will see mostly elderly working in the future because there won’t be enough teens to fill jobs like food service workers.
The Republican stance on breaking the law seems to be, “If we all break all of the federal, state, and local laws all the time, there’s no way they can catch all of us!” Supreme Court: “Hold My Beer.”
4/ Under Texas law, voting from an address where you do not live is a second-degree felony. Up to 20 years in prison. Up to $10,000 in fines. Ken Paxton is the attorney general of Texas. He knows the law. He wrote the enforcement
1/ Ken Paxton built a voter fraud tip line. His office said lying about your address on voter records is a crime. He voted six times from an address he doesn’t live at. The man hunting fraud was committing it. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.texastribune.org/2026/07/07/k...
