With SNAP benefits getting suspended, Mercy and I have been mailing boxes of food to people who need it and can't get to the store themselves. Anyway I just got lectured about it by Shipping Employee who had a moral objection to me doing this because "it's politics, and I don't like politics."

The Office of Naval Research (for historical and other reasons) has been an important supporter of innovative research (including for me early in my career).

This is deeply worrisome and incredibly stupid.

SCOOP: The decorated rear admiral who was heading the critically important Office of Naval Research, and who brought lengthy experience in Navy tech-leadership to the job, "is being replaced by a 33-year-old former DOGE employee with no apparent naval experience."

The Trump regime thought the judiciary couldn’t keep pace, but they were wrong. Judges have been steadily building cases, blocking escape routes, and pushing back against the administration’s misconduct. The result? A series of court defeats that the White House can’t just sweep under the rug.

Trump’s Getting Thumped in Court

Bad faith arguments, blatant misrepresentations, illegal appointments and politicized prosecutions are turning judges against Trump’s DOJ.

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Marco Foster shares a quote from Lawrence O’Donnell: “Even though the Agriculture Department has enough money to continue to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, Donald Trump is ordering them not to fund food stamps. 40% of the people fed by SNAP are children. Donald Trump and Republican senators are basically saying let them starve. Republicans did this.”
The image below shows O’Donnell speaking on MSNBC, with “Republicans did this” displayed beside him.

Since the “ceasefire,” Israeli military has killed more than 100 Palestinians, including a 9 year old Palestinian child in the West Bank, shooting him in the head.

Netanyahu’s new strikes in Gaza killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children.

This is genocide.
