I would love to know how much taxpayer money was spent bringing all of these officers to Quantico for a vapid speech.

It will take decades to recover, and talent won't be willing to join the government while job security is not an option.

Not a good idea! What brings you to Quantico? Do my weekly shopping at the commissary there.

Is the Evolution of STEM the best science-themed Lego set ever?
I'm a Lego expert and I love the Lego Ideas Evolution of STEM set. Could it be the best science-themed set ever, despite some shortcomings?

Additionally, he needs to mislead his followers so they won't notice the 75% increase in their ACA costs.

For 15 years, over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated a law giving patients access to emergency care, with or without insurance.

Almost all the facilities faced the same lack of consequences, a ProPublica investigation found.

By @emcahan.bsky.social
Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.
Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

An excellent article from MIT Technology Review about Tylenol and leucoverin. We need evidence-based policy, not this. And, we need to protect safety net programs that support those with autism who desperately need it. #autism

Trump is pushing leucovorin as a new treatment for autism. What is it?
The president also blamed the painkiller Tylenol for autism, but the evidence doesn’t stack up at all.

Sinclair Broadcasting is still holding out on Kimmel. Let your local affiliate know your feelings. Mine is WJLA 7 in DC. I’d ping them on Twitter, but don’t have an account. Need to boycott stations that fold to censorship. @fpwellman.bsky.social

I’m a scientist and have two sons who are autistic. Trump and RFK are going to harm a lot of kids.
