Trump's march to fascism takes another step
Jessica Corbett for Common Dreams
Trump—who was convicted of 34 felonies in New York
before returning to the White House—slammed his perceived opponents as
"scum" and "thugs," called efforts to hold him accountable
for alleged criminal activity "bullshit," and declared: "We will
expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government. We will
expose... their egregious crimes and severe misconduct."
You are probably projecting your own feelings onto your pooch

Or at least, that’s what you believe.
New research from Arizona State University suggests that
people often misinterpret their dog’s emotions. One key reason? Humans tend to
project their own feelings onto their pets rather than accurately reading
canine expressions.
How Context Clouds Canine Emotions
In their study, “Barking up the wrong tree: Human perceptions
of dog emotions is influenced by extraneous factors,” ASU researchers Holly
Molinaro and Clive Wynne conducted experiments to examine how people perceive
dog emotions. Their findings indicate that most humans don’t assess a dog’s
emotional state based on the dog’s behavior alone. Instead, they rely on the
context of the situation to make assumptions.
Scientists Recommend Doing This Instead To Improve Your Gut Health

Eating more fiber-rich foods can strengthen beneficial
gut bacteria that protect against harmful Enterobacteriaceae, reducing
infection risk more effectively than probiotics.
The Enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria—which
includes Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shigella, Escherichia
coli (E. coli), and others—naturally exists in small amounts
within a healthy human gut microbiome. However, when these bacteria grow
excessively, often due to factors like increased inflammation or consumption of
contaminated food, they can lead to illness and disease. In severe cases, an
overgrowth of Enterobacteriaceae in the gut can become life-threatening.
To better understand this risk, researchers analyzed the gut
microbiome composition of over 12,000 individuals from 45 countries using
computational methods, including artificial intelligence (AI), based
on stool samples. Their findings revealed that a person’s unique microbiome
profile can predict the likelihood of Enterobacteriaceae colonization. This
pattern was consistent across various health conditions and geographic regions.
You don't need a DOGEr to know which way the wind is blowing

Like haphazardly dismantling sections of our interstate highway system, these cuts create dangerous gaps in our national capacity that the private sector cannot fill.

This
infrastructure, supporting more than one-third of US GDP,
requires sustained investment in both infrastructure and highly trained
personnel with advanced degrees.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jake Johnson for Common Dreams
That didn't stop Wired from publishing a story that names 10 DOGE operatives who have infiltrated
the Social Security Administration, which is facing deep staffing cuts that
advocates warn could impact the delivery of benefits.
The staffers, according to Wired, are Akash
Bobba, Scott Coulter, Marko Elez, Luke Farritor, Antonio Gracias, Gautier Cole
Killian, Jon Koval, Nikhil Rajpal, Payton Rehling, and Ethan Shaotran. The list
"includes a number of young engineers whose presence at the SSA has not
been reported."
