I just reintroduced the Interstate Milk Freedom Act, HR 7880 with @chelliepingree. The bill prevents the federal government from interfering with the interstate traffic of raw milk products between states where distribution or sale of such products is already legal.
My friend Wolfgang was turning 40 last weekend
To celebrate, we took a tram to the city for lunch
Few stops before Centrum, a ticket inspector gets on
He checks my friend's ticket and frowns
"Sir, you used the 51% student discount, but this is for students only"
"That is correct. I'm in the 9th year of my PhD studies"
Inspector nodded respectfully and handed the student ID back
That's the thing Americans will never understand
Wolfgang will soon enter the workforce with more knowledge than any American could ever dream of
This is precisely why Europe will always be ahead of the US
Anyone seriously considering stopping the war now?!
🚨 Who Pays for Net Zero: Are Climate Policies Bankrupting the West
This Freedom Research documentary investigates the true economic cost of Net Zero, and whether the push for climate neutrality could leave ordinary citizens footing the bill.
A massive transformation is underway in the name of Net Zero - one that could cost hundreds of trillions of dollars and reshape energy, industry, and everyday life.
But as energy prices rise and industries struggle, a growing question is emerging: who is really paying for this transition?

Liebe @ulrikeguerot,
das sind ganz starke Worte! Die formulieren ohne Scheuklappen und Angst. Ich hoffe, es werden noch mehr Menschen die Augen geöffnet.
Danke für diese großartige Rede.
Die Ausfuhr von Kriegsmaterial aus der Schweiz ist 2025 deutlich gestiegen. Die Schweizer Unternehmen exportierten Rüstungsgüter im Wert von 948,2 Millionen Franken in 64 Länder, knapp 43 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr. Grösster Abnehmer war Deutschland. https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/schweizer-kriegsmaterialexporte-legen-2025-stark-zu-ld.1928131?utm_campaign=mrf-twitter-NZZ&mrfcid=2026031069ad9d01e077e55d2a047490

While @NYCMayor outrageously sugarcoats Saturday’s horrific act of terrorism, I am beyond grateful to know NYPD heroes like Chief Aaron Edwards are working every day to keep us safe. This incredible image should remind New Yorkers to honor our brave @NYPDnews and thank them 🙌
Scientists have pumped 65,000 litres of chemicals into the ocean off America in a controversial geoengineering experiment designed to "stop global warming". https://dailysceptic.org/2026/03/10/scientists-pump-65000-litres-of-chemicals-into-ocean-to-stop-global-warming-in-geoengineering-project/
She has sold over 80 million albums, won four Grammys, been nominated for an Oscar, and has never once gone on tour. She lives alone in a castle outside Dublin with her cats, her neighbour is Bono, and her own uncle has said “We don’t see much of her. She lives like a queen. She is a recluse.”
Enya was born Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin in 1961 in Gweedore, a tiny Gaelic speaking village in County Donegal, Ireland, one of nine children in a musical family. She joined the family band Clannad at 19 and left at 21 to go solo with the band’s producer Nicky Ryan and his wife Roma. The three of them have worked together ever since. She records vocals layered hundreds of times over each other, sings in ten languages including Irish, Latin, and languages she and Roma invented from scratch, and creates music so distinctive that when asked what genre it belongs to, she simply said “Enya.”
In 1997 she bought a Victorian castle in Killiney for €3.8 million, outbidding Michael Flatley, and renamed it Manderley after the fictional house in Daphne du Maurier’s novel Rebecca. After stalkers targeted her repeatedly, including one who broke in and tied up a maid while Enya locked herself in a panic room, she raised the stone walls to over nine feet, added timber gates and surveillance cameras, and largely disappeared from public life. She has been seen in public only a handful of times in the past decade. In 2001, CNN used her song “Only Time” as the backdrop to their coverage of September 11 and it became one of the defining sounds of that moment in history. The Fugees sampled her. Metro Boomin and The Weeknd sampled her for “Creepin’” in 2022. She has an asteroid and a fish species named after her. She has never married and once said “My affairs are with melody and words and beautiful sounds. People think it sounds sad, but believe me, I’m happy.”
Grüne und CDU liegen nach der Wahl in Baden-Württemberg im neuen Landesparlament gleichauf. Die Christlichdemokraten versuchen deshalb, aus ihrer Niederlage noch einen Sieg zu machen.

„Lange Schulschliessungen waren unser größter Fehler.“
Zum einen haben wir frühzeitig davor gewarnt. Zum anderen waren doch gerade Sie derjenige, der in jedem öffentlichen Statement die Schließung von Schulen forderte.
Der Schaden geht v.a. auf Ihr Konto. Und von @c_drosten, der iÜ bis heute vertritt, dass Schulschließungen völlig richtig gewesen sein.

Decrease in ovarian cancer likely attributable to increased oral contraceptive usage. The rest relate to smoking cessation.
Not sure this is the effect of "war on cancer".
Substantial progress has been made in a few cancers, but in the aggregate still harsh.
The left never reads history...
If they did they'd know that they're just cattle being led to the slaughter.

The major parties join the elites’ contempt in dismissing populist parties as grievance vehicles, holding fast to the belief that their voters will have nowhere else to go.

A jury of 12 Americans heard four weeks of evidence and couldn't convict Roman Storm. The SDNY's response: try again.
40 years in prison for writing open-source privacy software. The "War on Crypto" is supposedly over. Treasury lifted Tornado Cash sanctions. The DOJ said it "is not a digital assets regulator." But the same DOJ, through the SDNY, just filed to retry the case in October.
Meanwhile, Treasury is quietly pushing to bring the Patriot Act framework to digital assets while the press celebrates their report as a "win for privacy." Oil swung from $117 to $87 in 18 hours while destroyed refineries can't be rebuilt in a weekend. And the NRC just approved the first new-design nuclear reactor in 52 years.

Super interesting. This aligns well with FRAIL AF which found > bleeding from switching
But, neither these authors nor the editorialists, cite Nicolau et al [JACC 2025] COMBINE AF substudy, which was an elegant substudy of the 4 DOAC v warfarin trials, which found no net diff in frail Vit K naive pts randomized to DOAC. COMBINE was a substudy but an elegant one in that it preserved randomization
What I worry about w the below obs study is confounding because maybe the switching group was inherently more ill

Bro Google is doing something wild.
Starting September 2026 every Android developer has to give Google their government ID. Legal name. Home address. Phone number. And pay a fee.
Even if they never use the Play Store. Even if they just put their app on their own website.
So basically if you build any app for Android — Google wants to know exactly who you are. No exceptions.
Brave, EFF, Tor Project and 40+ other organizations said no and signed an open letter against it.
And think about who this really hurts. The people building privacy apps, VPNs, encrypted messaging, tools for journalists and activists. People who specifically chose to stay away from Google. Now Google wants their home address.
Google is literally building a database of every person who writes Android software. Run by Google. Controlled by Google.
Android was supposed to be the open system. The alternative to Apple locking everything down.
Slowly it's starting to look the same.
Is Android still actually open? 👇

Remember how they praised that fascist witch for locking down New Zealand 🇳🇿 during Covid, and turning it into a North Korean dystopia?
She destroyed her country, and now flees herself.
