EXCLUSIVE: Trouble at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Cleanup is moving slow as crews vacuum dead algae. New pumps and additional crews coming. Approx 10% complete. Watch!

California lawmakers and the governor have until the end of this month to finalize the state spending plan. Here are two new taxes that looks to be a pretty much done deal.

Upcoming releases of FSD will remember your parking preferences, so that the car goes to the right location at your home, office, school drop off, etc. Destination parking is by far the biggest reason people now intervene with FSD. Critical safety interventions are extremely rare.

California’s Dem Supermajority just did it AGAIN. Record $356 BILLION budget passed with NEW tax hikes on insurance, digital software (QuickBooks/Zoom), health plans, PLUS another gas tax increase hitting July 1 (up 2.2¢ to 63.4¢/gallon, highest in the nation). Revenues are UP, but they keep squeezing drivers and families. No Republican votes needed. One-party rule means endless spending and taxes. Sacramento has a spending addiction, not a revenue problem. Flip the supermajority in 2026, before they tax us into the ground. #TaxedEnoughAlready #NoGasTaxHikes #CADemocratsFail #EndTheSupermajority

Why do some people with a pathogenic (disease-causing) mutation get hit and others are resilient? One explanation is heat shock proteins (like HSP90) , molecular chaperones that have a buffering, protective impact. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I got back late tonight from a far-flung courthouse duty on behalf of my country. Walked the additional 5k steps needed to hit my 20k goal. Semi-unpacked. Heart lifted to see these flowers in my garden. Roses, ranunculus, zinnias, dahlias. 🥰

Wide QRS Tachycardia? It's Not Always VT This ECG panel compares V₁ and V₆ leads in both LBBB-type and RBBB-type QRS morphologies across common causes: 1️⃣ Ventricular tachycardia (VT) 2️⃣ SVT with aberrancy 3️⃣ SVT with preexcitation (WPW) 4️⃣ SVT with baseline abnormal ECG 5️⃣ SVT with hyperkalemia 6️⃣ Ventricular pacing Observe how the QRS morphology changes with each condition. Certain clues like AV dissociation, fusion beats, or extreme axis favor VT, while others may suggest supraventricular origin. This chart is a great reference for ECG interpretation, especially in acute settings. Reference: Zipes & Jalife, Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside

Import poverty; romanticize illegal immigration; demonize the middle class; drive out private-sector capital; and exempt elites from the consequences of their own ideology—and you’re left with a state where democracy dies, along with everything else. victorhanson.com/is-californ…

Prufrock-MB2 is ready to mine in Nashville! MB2 commissioning is complete, including the brief 11 rpm rotation shown here. Will MB2 catch up to MB1, who had quite the head start? And Prufrock-MB3 ships in August!

What's it going to take for the FDA to cut the red tape? #ANKTIVA and natural killer (NK) cell therapy are already delivering miracles—activating the body's own immune system to fight cancer where other treatments failed. My husband Andrew's remarkable recovery from GBM (multiple clean MRIs, healthy tissue regrowth) is living proof. Hundreds of patients are reaching out for this hope. It's time to unleash these therapies into every qualified hospital nationwide. Expand access now through CNPV vouchers, Right to Try, and streamlined approvals. No more bureaucracy standing between patients and lifesaving care. Let's save lives. Let's kill cancer. Share if you or someone you love deserves better options. Tag your reps. Demand action. @US_FDA @DrPatrick @bullishbruk #ANKTIVA #NKCellTherapy

Someone is selling 313 acres (127 hectares) of protected forest in Catalonia for €765k ($888k). There's an 18th-century farmhouse in the middle of it. The estate sits inside Les Gavarres, a protected natural area covering nearly 29,000 hectares. A few properties exist here, but this place has no neighbours and no noise. You can see the Mediterranean and the Medes Islands from here. The farmhouse is 787 m² (8,470 sq ft), partially restored. Attached to the main house are 400 m² of original structures, currently in ruins, so work is needed. The forest produces cork, with a harvesting management plan already in place. What it doesn't have is grid electricity. But that's not an issue in 2026: get solar panels, Starlink and run the whole thing off-grid with no bills, no grid, no landlord. 35 minutes from the Costa Brava, 30 from Girona and 1h 20 from Barcelona. Funny enough, someone reached out to me recently looking for a place where a multi-generational family can live and work - fully self-sufficient, off-grid, doomsday-proof. This might be it.
