Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I think because of the secondary definition of prosecution, which is to “continue with (a course of action) with a view to its completion.” In some civil investigations, I’ve seen failure to prosecute as meaning that the filer hasn’t taken steps towards completion of their claim.

They're actually gold painted Home Depot items

The items from the Home Depot link below in a picture in the oval office but with gold paint on them. Cheap tacky trash

If someone says to you “I’ve got a big one brewing” with zero context, what do you think it means?

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 16h

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Can we please stop just blowing up boats without any proof of wrongdoing? When are people going to refuse illegal orders…

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · 14h

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Sarah Posner @sarahposner.bsky.social · 14h

So of course the weirdest and most alarming thing here is that Trump intended to DM the AG on Truth Social to order her to indict Comey and accidentally posted it publicly. But there are other very weird details within...

Weirdly enough, I think this works. No one is more insecure than a new ICE agent. They want to be the blonde guy in DHS’s AI Nazi posting so badly. Instead, they’ll be guarding indistinguishable suburban warehouse #16361 while inflated frogs and dinosaurs thrust in their face all day every day.
