Scientists are raising the alarm about a White House proposal that could fundamentally recast federally funded science. The proposed rules would put political appointees in control of all federal grants and de-emphasize peer review, among other measures.

I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today.  His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance.  He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast. He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English.  He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…

My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.

Love,

Celine xx…

I hope at least some Russians realize that, by now, with Ukrainian drones flying completely at ease over Russia, the sole reason there are no civilian deaths among Russians is the Ukrainian civilized politics. Nothing else.

3 (or 2) June 1913 A French Jewish woman, Henriette Vecksler (née Bril), was born in Paris.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 25 September 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was murdered in a gas chamber with her sons Claude (in the picture) and Serge.

The Strait of Hormuz was hardly a black swan. Years of US war-gaming reportedly identified it as Iran’s most likely response to a major attack. The real question is why, despite extensive war-gaming and scenario planning, Washington appears to have been so unprepared for the costs and consequences when it happened. We still don’t know the answer.

Seems important to remember she disowned him, not the other way around. She gave up perhaps the largest inheritance in human history because that's how important it is to be yourself

Shortly after the 2025 elections, I published a list of seven voting laws every blue state should enact. While I stand by all seven, I want to highlight three. https://t.co/4RXOlS0Y4J

Hell of a way to kick off a general election .@turek4iowa

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

"Should have never been president. He lost the election in a landslide," President Trump lies about Joe Biden in a new interview conducted 5.5 years after Biden won the 2020 election 306-232 in the Electoral College and received 7 million more votes than Trump.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

NEW: Justice Sotomayor blasted SCOTUS for allowing Alabama to use a gerrymander it previously ruled intentionally discriminated against Black voters.

The ruling will upend midterms “in the name of permitting Alabama to discriminate against Black Alabamians,” she said. https://t.co/bJpc22PXIM

[Laura Rozen @lrozen]

somehow, the US can’t get over what a dumbcluck decision this war was, though everyone and their brother knows that Trump can never admit it. It solved nothing.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Sen. Murphy to Mullin: "Will you or will you not implement court orders?"

Mullin: "If we didn't think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that. But we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political opinion, not just the rule of law."

Murphy: "...If you're a Republic or a Democrat on this committee, you should be really, really freaked out."

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Mr Witkoff has gone to Moscow eight times to negotiate peace… zero times to Ukraine. Most Americans know this is not right. Don’t pretend to be neutral when the facts are obvious. Can we get someone serious in the position to do this right?

245,000 acres of ancient volcanic canyon.
Wild & Scenic river.
Petroglyphs older than memory.
Wildlife corridors that have never
known a fence.

A U.S. Senator stood at the edge
of that gorge last week and told the crowd:
"We could lose this one."

The administration's "Unleash American Energy" order has it in the crosshairs. The BLM rangers who managed it?
Fired.

The management plan conservationists fought for? Protested as inadequate
before the ink dried.

The Congressional timeline?
Before July.

The local fly shop owner who's lived there his whole life said it plainly:
"Our entire way of life would be in jeopardy."

This isn't hypothetical.
The reconciliation vote is weeks away.

When they call it "energy development" — what exactly do you imagine happening to a place like this?

A few years ago the Supreme Court struck down Alabama's congressional district map. Tonight they have upheld the very map they struck down.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Two days ago we lost an American hero. His name was Bruce Crandall, and this is his story 🇺🇸

Before he was a legend, Bruce Crandall was a kid from Olympia, Washington, born in 1933, an All-American high school baseball player who joined the National Guard at 15. The Army drafted him in 1953, trained him as an engineer, then put him in a cockpit. His first real job as a pilot was mapping the parts of the world nobody had charted yet, flying for two years over the open desert of Libya, then over thousands of square miles of unmapped mountains and jungle in Central and South America. He married Arlene in 1956. They would raise three sons. He spent the early part of his career flying toward empty places. Then Vietnam asked him to fly toward the worst one.

Sixty years ago, in a clearing called LZ X-Ray, roughly 450 American soldiers were surrounded by an enemy force several times their size. The shooting was so heavy the medevac helicopters turned back. Landing meant dying.

Bruce Crandall made a different choice.

He was a 32-year-old major flying an unarmed Huey. No guns. No armor that mattered. Just a thin aluminum shell and a decision. He pointed the nose at the hottest piece of ground in the war and went in anyway, with his wingman Ed "Too Tall" Freeman right behind him.

Then he did it again. And again. Twenty-two times in a single day.

He flew in the ammunition and water that kept the men alive. He flew out more than 70 wounded soldiers, loading them while rounds punched through the airframe, the cargo bay slick with other men's blood. Each run he could have stopped. Nobody would have blamed him. He kept his word to the men on the ground instead: you will be resupplied, and if you fall, we are coming for you.

He never fired a shot all day. He saved dozens of lives with nothing but nerve and a helicopter.

The men called him "Snake." He went back for a second tour and was shot down in January 1968, this time by friendly bombs falling too close. By the end of the war he had flown more than 900 combat missions.

Then he did something quieter that almost nobody talks about. He went home and lived an ordinary life. He retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1977, earned a master's degree, ran a small California town as its city manager, and spent 17 years in the Public Works Department in Mesa, Arizona, fixing roads and keeping the water running. The man who once flew through a wall of fire spent his later years making sure the streetlights worked.

It took 40 years for the country to catch up to what he did at X-Ray. In 2007, President Bush hung the Medal of Honor around his neck. If you saw We Were Soldiers, that was him on screen, Greg Kinnear in the cockpit, though the real man was braver than any movie could hold.

Col. Bruce "Snake" Crandall died on May 31, 2026, at 93 years old. He outlived the war, the doubts, and most of the men who watched him come screaming back into that valley when no one else would.

Some heroes carry a rifle. This one carried the wounded home, then went back to work like it was nothing.

Rest easy, Snake. We have it from here.

In honor of Lt. Col. Bruce Crandall (1933-2026), the best of us and a true American hero. We won't forget you 🇺🇸

[Dr. Allison Campolo @AllisonCampolo]

Dear scientists and anyone who uses scientific advancements to live (hint that's everyone),

Proposed new US funding rules: 'We can cancel any grant at any time. Peer review now optional, political staff would screen grants for forbidden topics.'

Science as we knew it is over in this country. Only science which pleases Dear Leader is allowed.

This is not hyperbole.

Saying this has been "proven"-after endless recounts, lawsuits all CONFIRMED result-is like saying last year's Super Bowl score was rigged despite whole game being on tape. The reason he keeps doing it is bc of the psyche damage that would destroy him if he acknowledges a loss.
