I’m not even a big fan of OPPENHEIMER, but I am a critic and I know that so much of the film occurs through the prism of one man’s mind. so when details are left out it means he wasn’t thinking of them. that’s the horror of it. all he was thinking about was making the bomb.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is a scandal. The Supreme Court is now just a 9 person legislature, slinging takes and making law with cases that are basically made up by friendly right wing groups in order to get the new law they want from their 6 buddies on the court. https://t.co/mXYJPvHLDN

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

Cardona: Markwayne Mullin had more than $1.4 million in pandemic loans forgiven. He represents 489,000 eligible borrowers that were turned down today. Marjorie Taylor Greene had more than $180,000 forgiven. She represents 91,800 eligible borrowers who were turned down today

This is one of the most interesting free school lunch papers - when districts implement universal free school lunch, it puts competitive pressure on grocery stores, resulting in lower food prices for *everyone* even if they don't directly benefit from school lunches

Today is the 131st anniversary of the beginning of the CTA Elevated Trains. On this day in 1892, the first "L" train ran from Pershing & State to Congress & Wabash. Chicago is the only city with elevated trains in its downtown area. #chicago #history

Caleb Martin went undrafted after returning for his senior year at Nevada.

He was cut by the Hornets in 2021.

J. Cole was actually the one who reached out to the Heat staff, urging them to sign Martin.

Martin just dropped 26 for Miami — now headed BACK to the NBA Finals.

@RepKamBuckner and @ChicagosMayor please do something about the abysmal Blue Line service! This is the first impression of many people who visit Chicago via O’Hare, not to mention a key way many commuters expect to get to work. Service has been THIS BAD for months.

Yesterday, the CTA L lines ran:
58% Blue
82% Brown
85% Green
89% Orange
86% Pink
68% Purple
78% Red
122% Yellow
... of scheduled trains. Riders deserve more accurate schedules.

A pancreatic cancer vaccine provoked an immune response in half of the patients treated, and those people showed no relapse of their cancer during the course of the study, a finding that outside experts described as extremely promising. https://t.co/xYjs3IPE5S
