Bay of Pigs, redux.
These poor kids. This family did nothing wrong except believe in the United States.
And fertilizer.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.
I would reverse the order of your suggestion, since it reads like the yellow pages are somehow a result of peeing in that cup 😁.
He is certainly a master of the kind of bafflegab William Westmoreland pioneered during Vietnam. You could heat your house with that much hot air. (We may be forced to, tbh, natural gas being unaffordable.)
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Maybe, just maybe..

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
Former Omaha State Sen. Brett Lindstrom was running for the GOP U.S. House nomination in NE-02 until late January.
Now, he has abandoned his Republican label.

Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
If they go back & sell more anyway like the legends they are it’s the dispensary on 73 by Ramblewood & all the neverending traffic lights at Church.

⚡️Fox News mislabels Ukrainian Shahed-drone intercept footage as part of American ‘high-tech arsenal’ destroying Iranian drones.
According to Ukrainian drone manufacturer Wild Hornets, the footage used by Fox featured STING — a Ukrainian interceptor drone used to destroy Shahed-type drones.
They’ve been doing this with abortion cases as well.
Okay this made me cry
No notes…
Hmm.
1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.
They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.
Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

My friend (1968ish) had a favorite saying: “You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.” Evidently, he was wrong 🤢
This absolutely should be illegal.
Yet be well assur’d
You put sharp weapons in a madman’s hands.
I don’t think it will happen, but I think a T/C runoff would make the precinct/voting center dichotomy in both Crockett’s and Talarico’s home counties more fair; having the Secretary of State’s obsolete maps is the cherry on that cake.
Good news for a change...
