If you read only one thing this week, this is it. Multiple jaw drops 😳
“even under an optimistic ‘low’ emissions climate scenario, the earliest the climate might stabilize is in the mid-2070s” and weather patterns are already locked in to growing increasingly more extreme for the next 50-100 years.

Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!!

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Why would someone with a Russian IP address even be aware that DOGE was firehosing data out of a US federal agency?
How would that entity with a Russian IP address know where or how to tap into that firehose of outgoing data, without being tipped off by DOGE?

The reason this is being developed is so Europe doesn't need to buy ATACMS. So well done Donald, you've screwed American business again.

So they’re joining Reform, so they can complain about the Tory record - and you can vote them right back in, in a few years’ time, under new anti-Tory branding.
