New in PN: Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP
"Observing Johnson in recent months has been like watching an extended Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure in order to tie himself to a giant stack of lit dynamite."

A palate cleanse. Taking a moment of peace in the back yard with some snoring chickens.
You read that right. Chickens can snore.

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

Many of us recognize RFK Jr as one of the most dangerous people in the country. We know he has to go. How?
The way to do that is to never use his name again. "Trump's HHS puts children's health at risk. Trump's HHS puts American science decades behind Europe. Trump's HHS is a laughing stock."

I can not stress to you how globally humiliating this statement by Trump is for the United States. His complete lack of understanding of, not just the basics of this issue but the extreme political ramifications of it, is a problem. This will not be shrugged off.
Trump: "The whole issue of the women. Comfort women. Very specifically. We talked and that was a very big problem for Korea, not for Japan. Japan was, wanted to go, they want to get on. But Korea was very stuck on that."

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.
Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same
Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.
So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD
