Excited to see the ranking of #ScienceUnderSiege spiking today! Please check out the book (ask your local library to stock it if they haven't already).

@peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I began writing this book well over a year ago. We wish the book didn't feel as prescience as it now does.

When does Dementia Don instruct two of his idiot spawns to roll Newsmax video into the Truth Social audio? (I'm about 51/49 that that's the play. Why else would Newsmax not have shut down that loser by now?)

Speaking of Josh Hawley, has the couple set a date yet, or is it still pending?

What happens to the vacant stores? Plenty of square footage looking to be repurposed... right in the middle of economic uncertainty.

"This is evasion."

Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 1d

This is evasion. And honestly I want to see all the former prosecutors on this committee riding her on this as if she was a hostile witness at trial.

YES OR NO? HAVE YOU SEEN THE PHOTOGRAPHS?

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse
