1) Interesting new paper on the link between ME/CFS and HLA, the group of proteins that help the immune system differentiate your own cells from foreign invaders.

The study found that HLA-variants associated with ME/CFS were less able to bind to human herpesviruses antigens.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Anthony Boyd's execution last night was the longest nitrogen suffocation execution in the method’s history, writes journalist Lee Hedgepeth, who witnessed it.

After justices warned of prolonged suffocation, Alabama subjected Anthony Boyd to the longest nitrogen execution in U.S. history.

Boyd was the chairman of Project Hope, a death row-led nonprofit. Its members are left reeling in the wake of their leader's suffocation execution.

Despite Trump’s promise to bring down the cost of living, the American dream feels more out of reach than ever. You deserve a government that works for you and that’s what @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting for.

James Talarico: I don’t see politics as left versus right. Billionaires are using their wealth to rig our political system. They own the media and they own politicians in both political parties. They’re using that wealth to divide us, and I think people are tired of being pitted against each other

“ICE, their secret police, is their tool,” said Michelle Brané, a human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office under Biden. “Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.”

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force

Trump's DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents' anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

What can we do to stop him? 1st don’t worry about 2026/28 elections, yet. Focus on the Nov 2025 elections where there will be 52k races nationwide & turn out is key. 2nd, vote for pro democracy candidates that will shape the 2026/28 elections! Key elections are in CA, ME, NJ, PA & VA! #Elections2025

Do you despise robber baron cheaters like Jeff Yass & Elon Musk? They’re pouring money into PA to rig our courts, redraw our maps, & rewrite the rules in their favor.

Don’t let them buy our democracy.

Vote YES to keep the PA Supreme Court fair, free, and for the people. 💥

SCOOP: A Trump official tells
@nypost
that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”
