More on this from @joshuasweitz.bsky.social

“Rather than ‘elevating the role of scientific peer review’ as the proposal claims, the proposal diminishes it.”

I know many of you are paying attention to what is happening in TX. Real blue wave potential in TX. Consider supporting these competitive candidates: Hinojosa (Gov), Talarico (Sen.), Pulido (TX-15), Gonzalez (TX-34), Cuellar (TX-28), Garcia (TX-35), Stout (TX-23). Whoa! Knocking at the door! In TX!

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

Next Saturday will be the largest early vote activation in American history. No Kings Day is how we build historic turnout for the midterms and get our communities ready to organize against Trump’s election sabotage.

keep up the good work Ukraine.

Gift link for the times' story about the growing threats our elected officials are subjected to. It's not ok. We need people to find their compassion and civility. People need to tone down their rhetoric. What are the solutions? So sad it's come to this.

Chemist Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi is widely celebrated for founding & pioneering the field of bioorthogonal chemistry.

She shared the 2022 #Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry." 🧵

She was born #OTD in 1966. #WomenInSTEM #Chemistry 🧪

A portrait of American chemist Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi (born 1966), Nobel laureate celebrated for founding bioorthogonal chemistry. Taken by Christopher Michel in 2022, the composition captures Bertozzi seated behind a polished wood table, leaning her chin thoughtfully on her left palm. She wears a sharp black blazer over a white top, with four visible buttons on her sleeve cuff. Her short, wavy brown hair frames an expression of calm confidence, looking directly at the camera with a gentle, intelligent smile and striking blue eyes. The soft, cinematic side-lighting accentuates the contours of her face and hand against a shallow depth-of-field background, which subtly reveals a modern office or university hallway with neutral gray walls and distant doorway outlines. The mood is dignified, intellectual, and intimate, visually honoring a pioneering scientist whose historic achievements in developing click chemistry have fundamentally revolutionized biological research and targeted cancer medicine.

Two weeks ago, the number was $100m. Today it's $200m.

That would put him over half a billion to buy the government in just 3 years.

www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

wired.comElon Musk Is Expected to Point His Money Machine at TexasSources tell WIRED that Elon Musk is expected to spend up to $200 million in the midterms. It could be a big boost for GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton, who’s struggled to raise cash.
