Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced. This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

🚩Note: Critical international response to the White House Correspondents Dinner (#WHCD) incident and post-facto “ #ReichstagFire” political implications: 🔥🔥🆘The international 🌏press has been quick to frame the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting as a potential "Reichstag moment," with several non-American outlets expressing skepticism about how the incident will be leveraged for political gain by Trump, his party and core supporters. Foreign Media Skepticism (Last 4 Hours) • 🇫🇷Le Monde (France): A lead editorial suggests the incident is being "meticulously staged" to justify a broader crackdown on domestic political opposition. The analysis notes that while the trauma is real, the speed with which the administration pivoted to "enemies within" rhetoric suggests a prepared response. • 🇩🇪Der Spiegel (Germany): Using the most direct historical parallels, commentators have questioned whether this represents a "Washingtoner Reichstagsbrand" (Washington Reichstag Fire). The skepticism centers on the immediate call for emergency decrees and the suspension of standard legal oversight following the shooting. • 🇪🇸El País (Spain): Reports focus on the "transactional use of tragedy," noting that the incident provides a convenient distraction from recent setbacks in the Middle East and domestic economic pressures. • 🇬🇧The Guardian (UK): Coverage emphasizes the "security-industrial complex" of the administration, suggesting the shooting will be used to permanently "fortify" the executive branch against judicial and legislative scrutiny. The prevailing sentiment in these original-language reports follows three distinct lines of skepticism: The "Pre-Written" Script: Observation that the political messaging—targeting specific "radical" groups—emerged before the shooter was even fully identified. The "Bargaining Chip" Theory: In Asia, particularly in 🇹🇼Taiwan (United Daily News), there is concern that a "shaken" administration might use the domestic crisis as an excuse to pull back from international commitments, focusing instead on internal "purification." The "Basket Case" Narrative: Across European outlets, the shooting is cited as final proof that the U.S. has devolved into a "failed state" where even the most secure elite gatherings are subject to the same chaos as rural schools.

… just installed a brand new Epson ET-8550 printer to discover the warranty expired Jan 6, 2026. Why @EpsonAmerica no warranty on such an expensive printer?

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. Here's how it works.

This is all about understanding the sinister nature of Trump’s actions. What’s troubling is that I think this is only the beginning. He is fully intent on stoking civil unrest to claim it’s too dangerous to hold elections. Dan Koh nails it. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRk8AhHH/

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Donald Trump created this problem, and American farmers don't want his bailout. They want fair markets, and strong economic leadership. Donald Trump has failed them.

Chicago hasn’t just won an award — it’s built a legacy no other American city can touch For the ninth year in a row, Condé Nast Traveler readers have crowned Chicago the Best Big City in the United States. Nine years straight. That’s not luck. That’s identity. Sitting on the edge of Lake Michigan, Chicago is a city that reinvents itself without ever losing its soul. It’s deep-dish and deeper stories. Steel shaped into skylines. Music that still echoes through the bones of old jazz clubs. Every neighborhood carries its own heartbeat. Pilsen’s walls covered in memory. The Loop’s glass towers catching the sky. The South Side’s long history of resilience, creativity, and quiet power. Travelers come for the architecture, the food, and the art. But they stay for something harder to describe — a feeling, a pulse, a sense that the past and present are in constant conversation on every street. Chicago isn’t just a destination. It’s grit and grace woven together for generations. And for nearly a decade, no other city has matched that magic. Fun Fact: The Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards date back to 1988 — no other major U.S. city has ever dominated the top spot this many years in a row. Some cities win awards. Chicago writes its own legend. Sources: Condé Nast Traveler. #ChicagoHistory ☑️

A joint statement from myself @SenMarkKelly, @RepJasonCrow, @RepDeluzio, @RepGoodlander and @RepHoulahan. “We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation. “What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty. “But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. “In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated. “Don’t Give Up the Ship!”

Remember: Socialism is making sure poor families are fed. Capitalism is feeding billionaires caviar & entertaining them with a half-naked woman spinning in a champagne glass while the poor go hungry. Wait sorry. That’s not capitalism. That’s a dictatorship

Statement from me and my brother, Martin Luther King IlI, on the Release of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination Files “We recognize that the release of documents concerning the assassination of our father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., has long been a subject of interest, captivating public curiosity for decades. As the children of Dr. King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, his tragic death has been an intensely personal grief – a devastating loss for his wife, children, and the granddaughter he never met – an absence our family has endured for over 57 years. We ask those who engage with the release of these files to do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our family’s continuing grief. The release of these files must be viewed within their full historical context. During our father’s lifetime, he was relentlessly targeted by an invasive, predatory, and deeply disturbing disinformation and surveillance campaign orchestrated by J. Edgar Hoover through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The intent of the government’s COINTELPRO campaign was not only to monitor, but to discredit, dismantle and destroy Dr. King’s reputation and the broader American Civil Rights Movement. These actions were not only invasions of privacy, but intentional assaults on the truth – undermining the dignity and freedoms of private citizens who fought for justice, designed to neutralize those who dared to challenge the status quo. In 1999, our family filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee. The jury unanimously concluded that our father was the victim of a conspiracy involving Loyd Jowers and unnamed co-conspirators, including government agencies as a part of a wider scheme. The verdict also affirmed that someone other than James Earl Ray was the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame. Our family views that verdict as an affirmation of our long-held beliefs. As we review these newly released files, we will assess whether they offer additional insights beyond the findings our family has already accepted. While we support transparency and historical accountability, we object to any attacks on our father’s legacy or attempts to weaponize it to spread falsehoods. We strongly condemn any attempts to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine our father’s legacy and the significant achievements of the movement. Those who promote the fruit of the FBI’s surveillance will unknowingly align themselves with an ongoing campaign to degrade our father and the Civil Rights Movement. Instead of repeating the injustices of the past, we encourage the public to continue the work that our father began – building equity, justice, and peace for all. Now more than ever, we must honor his sacrifice by committing ourselves to the realization of his dream – a society rooted in compassion, unity, and equality. Let us move forward together, inspired by our father’s enduring vision of the Beloved Community – a world made possible when we choose to center love in all that we do. By embracing compassion, mutual respect, and justice, we can transform his dream into our shared reality.” Please note that the King Family will not be conducting any interviews on this matter at this time. #MLK #MLKFiles #BelovedCommunity #BeLove
