As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows, this media ecosystem becomes more influential. A new Media Matters’ study shows how overwhelmingly right-leaning this ecosystem is -- with nearly five times the following of left-leaning online shows. www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

It's a sort of combustion engine-era thinking. "I better not drive anywhere, otherwise my tank will be empty." A better model is a solar-powered one. "If I get out in the sun and do stuff, my battery will recharge."

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Yes, and: research very far away from you also benefits you! @djheller.bsky.social’s work is in Ghana but is about providing primary care in places without enough doctors, which describes most places in the U.S. It won’t show up for your state but will absolutely improve quality of care there.
Never imagined I’d have to say this, but if you want to have a look at NIH RePORTER to see how much NIH funding your state receives so you can write to your elected representatives, you’d better do it now, and get a screenshot.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

I have voted as a Democrat in every election for 45 years. I won't again. Democrats have shown themselves to be incredibly weak. I have lost my respect for all of our leaders who did nothing useful after Kamala lost. Just silence. Democrats have lost me. I'm not the only one.
On Monday, Congress met to certify the presidential election.
Democrats didn't try to overthrow the election because we're constitutional patriots. And we'll always stand strong for the Constitution against lawlessness and corruption.

Dear Judge Merchan,
I believe it would be extremely reasonable of you to sentence Donald Trump to four years and two months of home confinement at Mar-a-Lago with a gag order and a travel ban.
Effective immediately.
Thank you.
