The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

It has been more than 30 days since the Department of Justice was required by federal law to make all of the Epstein Files public. According to the DOJ’s own estimates, it has released less than 1% so far. The last time the Department of Justice released any documents was Dec. 23, 2025.
The DOJ offers only excuses as the Epstein Files remain secret

I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.

Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line.
At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.

Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

The broad consensus was that Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos while Trump gave a whiny, low-energy snooze-fest where he kept mixing up countries, so naturally Trump is posting that he won’t be Carney’s friend which undoubtedly devastates Carney and Canadians everywhere.

Lips moving, still lying.
JD Vance: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law that's typically something federal officials would look into. We don't want these guys to have kangaroo courts."

Officer Fanone nearly died defending the Capitol. Trey Nehls defends the man who caused it.
So when Fanone coughed “go fuck yourself,” he spoke for every American who remembers what really happened on January 6.

Mid-January snowpack is at record-low levels across much of the American West. Yet it has not been a record dry winter virtually anywhere. So, what's going on? Well, persistent and record-breaking warmth has essentially overwhelmed all other factors.
