- Reposted by S. Laurel WeldonThe attack on Rep. Omar tonight was a despicable act of political violence and intimidation. I am glad Rep. Omar is OK, and I thank USCP and local police for their quick action to apprehend the suspect.

- Reposted by S. Laurel WeldonTrump's relentless bullying of Ukraine presented as a "peace process" is making us sound like broken records. Like, how many times do we have to say that asking Ukraine to withdraw from its most fortified region in exchange for another useless Budapest memorandum offer is a dumb proposition?

- Reposted by S. Laurel WeldonA 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

- Reposted by S. Laurel WeldonSometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.
