If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

I’m sure this was not fun to come home to but it was an absolute delight to read about!
Katharine HayhoeOvernight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

I didn’t care for Emily Wilson’s review of Nolan’s Odyssey, but the only thing I’m offended by is defenders saying “she’s earned the right to criticize it.” Man, *everybody* has the right to offer their opinion on a movie. You don’t have to earn it by learning Ancient Greek, for Christ’s sake.

“‘Should I keep paying my mortgage?’ Haitian families confront impossible choices around #TPS. As Haitian TPS nears an end, families are asking who will care for their children, whether to sell their homes and whether they can survive what comes next.” haitiantimes.com/2026/07/27/h...

I agree with everything you're saying except the claim that Trump is rational. He doesn't consistently pursue the best means to his ends. He contradicts himself constantly. Conflicting impulses twist his behavior from one moment to the next.
Charlie AngusSorry, I call BS. Trump is very rational. He has been clear from day one that he is out to crush our nation and destroy our sovereignty. Mr. Carney ran on a promise to stand up to this threat. That's why people voted for him. He needs to deliver.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Madrid is booming, culturally and economically, but the wildfires raging within a short drive of the capital have provided a reality check. Experts say the fires are a harbinger for the damage to come on the world’s fastest warming continent.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

"Vega was urged to include a comment by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey supposedly calling on city police officers to fight ICE agents. But Vega said she and her colleagues watched 'every frame' of a Frey news conference and 'that never happened'" amazing stuff here
Mark JacobAfter federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the pro-Trump management team at CBS News pressured journalists to put disinformation in their reports. This went beyond “politics” – it was news executives helping fascists whitewash murder. My Stop the Presses newsletter.
