The 2026 midterm elections didn’t just determine who controls Congress for the next two years—they also determine whether the United States, 250 years after its founding, remains a democracy, @anneapplebaum says. She explores what citizens and lawmakers can do next to strengthen the institutions and values that have been threatened in the Trump era: theatln.tc/NXDwMRa0

When a battery's terminals touch steel wool, the electrical current rapidly heats the wire; causing the iron to react with surrounding oxygen, sparking a chain reaction that creates iron oxide, which is heavier than the original wool.

If you haven’t watched this yet please do. I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will. Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

Nobel laureate @KarlDeisseroth came to neuroscience through words. His love of literature and writing drew him toward the human brain, and a required psychiatry rotation in medical school set him on the path to developing optogenetics. Here, he traces that journey.

“We are taking our country back. Not with anger. Not with fear, not with division. But with the hope that built this state.” ~@jamestalarico One of the most powerful ads I’ve ever seen, with the added value of being true.
BREAKING: James Talarico just released an incredible video reminding every American what hope feels like. This is the best political ad we've seen in a long time.

30 years ago today, I signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. In the three decades since, the world has seen only 10 nuclear tests, compared with more than 2,000 in the five decades before. As AI gives us new capabilities we could only have imagined then, we should remember something we learned in the nuclear age: even when countries disagree, we can still work together to reduce the risks we all face. cfr.org/articles/bill-clinto…
