Abrahm Lustgarten for Propublica For many months, conservative lawmakers and political operatives have been targeting the scientists and lawyers behind the Climate Judiciary Project, a program meant to educate the courts about climate science, alleging that their effort constitutes a conspiracy to influence federal judges and persuade them to rule against the oil industry. Now, just as congressional investigators…
A federal appeals court on Friday blocked the mailing of mifepristone prescriptions, sharply curtailing access to one of the most common methods of abortion in the United States. Subscribe Today Get daily emails in your inbox The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals requires the abortion pill to be dispensed only in person at clinics, overruling Food and Drug Administration regulations that allowed it to be distributed by mail.

Trump's War on Science Is Politicising a Generation of Researchers Source link
Tucker Carlson sat down for an extended, wide-ranging conversation with Lulu Garcia-Navarro about President Trump’s decision to attack Iran and Tucker’s criticism of the war, the future of the Republican Party, and his relationship with the vice president. NEW YORK TIMES: I want to get your perspective on this moment, on your evolution, your worldview. You recently made quite a dramatic break with President Trump over the war in Iran, and I’d love to hear about that. I want to start, though, in the lead-up to the conflict.

But for working people, it functions more like a silent tax—one that shrinks purchasing power without a single vote in Congress. The drop—roughly…
A 22 point manifesto recently published by tech giant Palantir reads like a villainous plot for dystopian domination. At this point it has become abundantly clear for those paying even the slightest bit of attention that tech giant Palantir is becoming one of the most pervasive entities influencing the growing plutocratic dystopia.

We have previously reported on…

Amena found out about the war when air raid alarms woke her. Hossein first heard it when fighter jets blew up a radio station as he listened to it. Jad found out about it on the news, two hours before the bombs fell on his neighborhood. And the parents of several volleyball players found out when their daughters were pulled from the burning wreckage of a school gym. Most Americans have fortunately never seen war firsthand, and most of those who have were troops sent to fight far away. War in your hometown is a strange experience, especially a modern…

This is precisely the point. This is a town that history forgot, or […] To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.
