Keep in mind, Trump's pardons meant that a great many Jan6 criminals didn't pay off their debt for ransacking the Capitol.

So these Senators are adding to the cost of Trump's attack on the Capitol even while taxpayers ALSO have to pay for his attack.
"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Senator Murphy says there is no sugarcoating, no spin just honesty and resolve. He fears that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. He’s angry too but anger isn’t enough. We’ve got to keep fighting for democracy!

Absolutely shameful that three senators from New England caved on this extremely important issue.

Synthetic fluorophores enhance live-cell microscopy, enabling nanoscale to macroscale imaging with improved resolution. PMID:41188619, Nat Chem Biol 2025, @nchembio https://doi.org/10.1038/s41589-025-02038-4 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
Synthetic fluorophores for live-cell fluorescence microscopy and biosensing | Nature Chemical Biology
Fluorescence microscopy has become an indispensable tool to investigate the dynamics of macromolecules directly in living cells on length scales ranging from the nanoscale via super-resolution microscopy (SRM) to the macroscale by light sheet technology. Advances in these microscopy techniques and the desire to perform experiments with high spatial and temporal resolution in living cells increase the requirements imposed on the fluorophores used. Tailor-made synthetic small-molecule fluorophores in combination with innovative labeling strategies help to overcome these challenges and continue to push the boundaries in live-cell microscopy. This Review discusses important advances in improving the performance of synthetic fluorophores for live-cell applications and how synergistic effects can be produced by using clever labeling strategies. We detail how synthetic fluorophores advance different microscopy modalities including live-cell SRM and showcase how they can be implemented into bi

Red-headed Woodpecker.

The red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) is a mid-sized woodpecker found in temperate North America.

The red-headed woodpecker should not be confused with the red-bellied woodpecker.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, “guided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

Heads up, California.

CHP just announced that a stretch of I-5 will be closed Saturday, October 18, for a military event at Camp Pendleton.

The freeway will stay shut until it’s over, and yes, they’re planning to fire live rounds over the highway.

What could possibly go wrong?

Trump wants to shift disaster response to states. It's now hurricane season: VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, and LA are in the bulls-eye, all Red states. NC learned a big lesson last year, & was grateful for the aid until Trump cut promised long-term support. #ProudBlue
