Neil deGrasse Tyson: “There’s an intellectual scientific vacuum that is descending upon the US and that has consequences. If you’re okay with the US losing its scientific leadership, you will get the country you voted for. That country is one where we will no longer innovate. We will be less secure, less healthy, and less wealthy because some community of people who influence what this country is do not see the value of science”

RFK Jr.'s HHS ended routine federal surveillance for Cyclospora in 2025.
Now the U.S. has recorded more than 11,500 cases across 41 states.
Sen. Jon Ossoff just demanded answers, asking why the surveillance was terminated, whether it has been restored, and what HHS is doing to investigate one of the largest foodborne outbreaks in recent years.
You can't dismantle the nation's early-warning system and then pretend no one should ask why the alarm came late.
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley:
"The last weeks we as a law enforcement community have been receiving endless complaints about civil rights violations in our streets from US citizens. What we're hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on the street with no cause and being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they are here legally.
We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off duty. Every one of these individuals is a person of color ... it has to stop"
🚨HUGE CHECKMATE! Sen. Elizabeth Warren just OUTMANEUVERED Trump as her historic Housing Act is now law:
Trump refused to sign it unless the SAVE Act passed first, but he couldn’t stop it. The bill became law WITHOUT his signature.
Warren and America won. Trump LOST.
History has sailed into Boston Harbor.
The iconic Mayflower II has arrived for her first ever Sail Boston appearance, joining the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Isn’t it incredible to see a full scale replica of the ship that carried the Pilgrims to New England more than 400 years ago ⛵️🇺🇸
A Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area is fining parents for their out-of-control kids.
The owner of Chez Xue says he has had enough of poorly behaved children in his restaurant, so he is now fining parents.
You You Xue says one customer changed a dirty diaper next to another customer who was dining.
"We are not a playground. Please ensure children REMAIN SEATED at all times and respectful of fellow guests and the dining environment," the restaurant's policy says.
"Running around, shouting, making noise with utensils, etc. WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!"
One parent was charged $327 after their child smashed a credit card machine.
Another parent was charged $109 after their kid carved designs into a table with a utensil.
One more parent was charged $5 after a child smashed a teacup.
"I honestly put this notice on my menu because I didn't want to put my employees in the position of parenting other people's children. It should not be their job," the owner said.
This guy is awesome.

Walmart recorded your voiceprint when you called customer service.
Did not tell you.
Did not ask you.
Built a voice profile.
Stored it in a database.
Then a second Walmart sued them for recording warehouse workers’ voiceprints through headsets.
Then a third lawsuit for facial recognition in stores.
Three biometric systems.
One company.
All being sued at the same time.
McDonald’s. Applebee’s. Chipotle. Domino’s. Wingstop.
All recorded voiceprints during pizza orders.
Verizon enrolled customers in voice ID without asking.
Your voiceprint cannot be changed.
Your face cannot be changed.
If Walmart’s database gets breached your voice is compromised forever.
Every future authentication system you use is now at risk.
The voiceprint is not a password.
It is a biometric identifier.
And it is sitting in a Walmart database.
This is only illegal in Illinois.
BIPA is the only US law that lets you sue.
In 47 states companies can collect your fingerprints face and voice.
With zero legal consequence.
The customer service call you made five years ago.
Was a biometric harvesting operation.
You just found out.
