I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

Once a year, I think it is, the Eugene (Oregon) Emeralds play as the Exploding Whales, which is both a nice nod to funny local history and a naked gimmick to sell merch - which obviously worked on me, I couldn't buy this thing fast enough

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.

The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.

The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Call your reps and demand that they change their vote - this ain't over yet! @kaine.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov and Angus King.
Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

I find it fascinating that although whales are the largest animals on the planet there's a ton of species we just don't know much about.

There are 24 species of beaked whales and some have only been discovered in the last few decades.

Grateful for this Delta flight attendant for providing some clarity on the upcoming changes to flights during the holidays.

Data *was* siloed in the federal government for many, many good reasons.
#ICYMI: A sweeping data-sharing agreement authorizing DHS to merge Social Security data into the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system could threaten Americans’ privacy and lead to errors that disenfranchise legitimate voters, experts say.
