Bandages Made From Living Fungi Could Be The Future of Wound Healing

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

This might be controversial to say, but maybe the country does need to grind to a screeching halt. Like a quarantine halt for ppl to remember our govt workers. What if POTUS couldn't fly to play golf because all govt workers were in a class action suit after he said he may not pay them?

How is the government spending taxpayers dollars?

OMB is using footnotes to hide how and whether things are actually being funded.

But taxpayers deserve full transparency. So we're suing.

OMB’s latest effort to conceal spending data - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

OMB should not be doling out funds behind closed doors and must make public the contents of legally binding spend plans that apportion fund. Full transparency is critical for effective oversight.

It’s now official: our troops will miss paychecks while the Senate skips town. The people who defend this nation are left scrambling to pay rent while politicians keep getting paid.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

Norway appears genuinely worried how the authoritarian American President will take it if he doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Which, no matter which way you slice it, is a profoundly crazy sentence to write.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Case 4000 wasn’t about cigars or champagne — it was about control. Netanyahu allegedly traded $500M in regulatory favors for favorable coverage, turning independent media into a government PR machine. When leaders manipulate the press, it’s democracy that pays the price.
