The report, published in the journal Endangered Species Research, estimates that the unique population of false killer whales inhabiting the waters around the main islands has shrunk from about 184 individuals in 2012, when it was listed under the Endangered Species Act, to 139 members in 2022.
I am not seeing "Constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United" on any of these New Reconstruction wishlists folks are circulating, and. Absent starting over from scratch, I don't see us establishing any semblance of democracy here without that plus Supreme Court expansion.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And itโs all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax โ it's cruel.

Really wish the media would speak with the same clarity as judges - absent a rebellion on U.S. soil, the President cannot deploy the National Guard to act as a police force under his control. I know the rule of law is not click bait, but it undergirds the functioning of society.
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, Iโm like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
Nurses at University Medical Center New Orleans work tirelessly in dangerous conditions to provide the best care to their patients. They voted to form a union over 620 days ago & are still fighting for their first contract. Unacceptable. UMCNO must deliver a fair contract now.
DOE's embarrassment of a "climate science" report is 150 pages where as this response from the scientific community is 500. My take: It takes much more effort to refute nonsense than it does to generate it, a tax on the time of all who care about fact and accuracy sites.google.com/tamu.edu/doe...

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Exquisite! More iridescence
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

RFK Jr: โIf youโve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kidโฆ you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and theyโre completely different.โ This man is an existential threat.

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
For no particular reason, here's the breakdown of the Senate's vote to confirm RFK Jr. to lead HHS. Every Republican but one -- Mitch McConnell -- voted to put a guy notorious for pushing dangerous lies and disinformation about vaccine safety into this job. www.senate.gov/legislative/...
I have known Dan Jernigan for nearly 2 decades and this is 100% correct. CDC scientists with integrity and expertise are being forced out by an anti-science zealot with neither.
