It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm.
Have a great night!

A DOE official warned the new Energy secretary against allowing 23-year-old DOGE employee Luke Farritor access to the agency’s cybersecurity systems, including the network that feeds into the National Nuclear Security Administration. Chris Wright approved access anyway.

Last year Elon Musk and SpaceX claimed the NLRB is unconstitutional after being accused of labor violations.
Now under Trump, the NLRB is dropping its opposition to this claim.
The labor board will no longer fight in court against the charges that it shouldn't exist.

I miss the days when very rich people used their money to fund libraries, public art and philanthropic endeavors rather than launching slow-motion coups against the federal government.

“There is no longer any excuse for failing to see what a second Trump Administration may bring,” David Remnick writes. “These are not the imaginings of a paranoiac. These are campaign promises announced from the podium.” nyer.cm/DnNJ0vV
ALT A quote from David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker: “The mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. A federal government stocked with mediocrities whose highest qualification is fealty to the Great Leader. A contempt for climate policy, human rights, and gun control. A weakening of NATO. An even more reactionary Supreme Court and federal judiciary. An assault on the press.”

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/murray-…

What’s happening in America today is something darker than a misinformation crisis, @cwarzel writes. It's a cultural assault on any person or institution that operates in reality. theatlantic.com/technology/a…

BREAKING: 99 US physicians and medical professionals have published a letter and report indicating "probative evidence that the human toll in Gaza... is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population."
This is genocide. gazahealthcareletters.org/us…

I don't think people elsewhere fully grasp what's happening in NCR and just how hot it is. At 7am, the tap water is boiling hot. The sun hurts the eye. There's no night time anymore. For 24 hours the temperature feels above 40C. Which means during night the water is as hot

Horrifying.
Has everyone lost the plot? So little attention either to the actual war in Gaza or all this?
Some students being foolish seems minor compared to a nationwide crackdown on protest—in red states but not just.
What rights will people miss under a Trump presidency?
