Senator Lindsey Graham is blocking a bill that would make the Supreme Court more transparent and accountable.

The bill would require the court to create a code of conduct within 180 days and allow the public to file ethics complaints. A panel of lower-court judges would review the complaints. The bill would also require justices to disclose gifts and travel and explain why they recuse themselves from cases.

Sen. Lindsey Graham says he will block Democrats' effort to unanimously pass Supreme Court ethics bill

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, plans to block an effort by Senate Democrats to unanimously pass a Supreme Court ethics bill Wednesday on the Senate floor.

"On Monday, in Dubai, Egyptian journalist Emad El Din Adeeb asked Carlson why, when interviewing Putin, he 'did not talk about Navalny, about assassinations, about restrictions on opposition in the coming elections.' Carlson replied by equating Russia and the U.S., saying: 'Every leader kills people…. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.'”

No, Tucker. Leaders lead people. Dictators and authoritarians kill people.

At the Munich Security Conference, where leaders from more than 70 countries gather annually in Germany to discuss international security policy, Vice President Kamala Harris today responded to Trump’s recent attacks on America’s global leadership with a full-throated defense of global engagement.

Letters from an American

"Interviewing Putin in 2024 same as giving floor to Hitler in 1944"
- Ukraine’s top diplomat

Putin's Useful Idiots:
Greene - blocking Ukraine aid in the House

Carlson - Gave the microphone to a cold-blooded killer

Trump - Says he'll give OK for Russia to attack NATO countries

Even if a clinical trial is not legally required to be prospectively registered because it's a phase 1 trial or a device feasibility study

1. It's still a moral requirement according to the Declaration of Helsinki

2. The results of clinical studies that are not prospectively registered cannot be published in ICMJE journals

3. Failure to do so presents a risk to the integrity of your research

So if Texas were to secede:

- Republicans would lose 40 electoral votes

- Republicans would lose 25 seats in the House and 2 seats in the Senate

- Thereby giving Democrats a lock on the White House and Congress

But sure, y’all go on ahead and secede.

The "border crisis" is not an emergency if you're willing to wait until after the election to fix it.

BOOM!

“House Republicans are refusing to pass the ‘border deal’ they’ve been demanding, so that Donald Trump can claim #Biden did nothing to strengthen the border.”-DB

There were really fascinating ice formations down at the Charles River on my walk today.

I think this is from the water level going down over the past few days, after the rain we had last week. But the sort of upside-down icicles are just so cool...

(no #pun intended)

Berlin today against fascism! #b2101

(an earlier version of the video had sound, people chanting, but thanks to @dkl @leah it became clear the audio was taken from another demonstration so i removed it, see comments)

Regarding the numbers, the police reported 100k. The orginzer says it was 350k. (usually something in between;)
