The President Is Already in Litigation Over the Debt Ceiling: At one point, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy did say that there would need to be an agreement in principle to end the debt ceiling mess by the end of this past weekend in order to have enough time to ferry it through Congress before the X-date. Well, you’re in for a shock, the weekend passed, and there’s still no agreement. If anything, the parties are further apart than before.

Berkeley’s $220M Mistake Exposed in Massive Deal With China: The university has failed to declare a $220 million investment from the municipal government of Shenzhen to build a research campus in China.

U.S. Economy on the Brink as Time Runs Low to Avert Debt Default: The US is heading close to the brink of a self-imposed economic disaster with the Republican-led House refusing to pay the countrys debts unless President Joe Biden agrees on cuts to current and future spending and new curbs on social programs. Millions of people could see retirement and veterans benefits put on hold once the government exhausted its ability to pay its debts due to the borrowing cap set by congress.

The debt ceiling is unconstitutional, but not for the reason you think: Congress’s power to make contracts does not come with the power to renege on them. Congress’s failure to raise the debt limit to pay its bills undercuts its own constitutional power to make binding commitments for the United States, including commitments to pay its debts, that the president must perform.

2,500 left jobless after latest round of Disney layoffs: Frontline operational workers at the theme parks were the only department to avoid cuts. The Disney Co. laid off at least 2,500 people on Monday in the entertainment giant’s third round of cuts this year as it trims down spending, Deadline reported. The cuts were sweeping, jobs eliminated throughout the company. Following the timeline of cuts Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed, this is expected to be the last of the significant layoffs at Disney for a while. However, there many still be some smaller cuts in the next couple of months, sources say.

Fascism Is Rising, But It Does Not Have to Be Our Future: Fascism is an ultranationalist, anti-democratic, far right movement. A set of political practices fundamentally based in upholding rigid, identity-based hierarchies. These hierarchies manifest as forms of supremacy depending on the country and cultural context. Fascist movements can be white supremacist, nativist, male supremacist, Christian supremacist, and more. Under fascism, the majority sees itself as a victimized community that’s fighting against marginalized communities for its survival. Within the U.S., fascists have convinced themselves that immigrants, Trans people, Black people, and many more marginalized communities are working to eradicate their way of life.

Texas Republicans to Cities, Drop Dead: Particularly (but not only) in Texas, Republican state legislatures’ response to liberal cities is to strip them of all power. As the dividing lines in the Civil War of 1861 separated North from South, so the dividing lines in our current civil war, the ones where the conflicts are fiercest, separate red states from their blue cities. More precisely, red states are not simply opposing, but enforcing, their rule over blue cities.

The GOP Would Rather Hold Hungry Families Hostage Than Tax the Wealthy: The GOP, unable to destroy the social safety net through normal legislative processes, has turned to blackmail. But Joe Biden being Joe Biden, however, he’s unlikely to fully call the GOP’s bluff, hoping for a negotiated outcome to the standoff rather than a constitutionally untested reliance on the 14th Amendment. Given the extremism of today’s Republican Party, and the willingness of at least part of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s caucus to burn the whole ship of state down, that’s a risky strategy.

The Scientist and the Bats: Funders thought watching bats wasn’t important. Then she helped solve the mystery of a deadly virus. Those bats turned out to be the carriers of the deadly Hendra virus, which can jump from bats to horses and then to humans. Eby began a quest to understand why and how the virus was making these leaps between species, known as spillover. She hoped to predict when the next infection would emerge.

Japanese Scientists Create Remote-Controlled Cyborg Cockroaches: Researchers have engineered a system for creating remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell. Despite the mechanical devices, ultrathin electronics and flexible materials allow the insects to move freely. These achievements will help make the use of cyborg insects a practical reality.

Meet The “Swarmies”- Robotics Answer to Bugs: A small band of NASA engineers and interns is about to begin testing a group of robots and related software that will show whether it’s possible for autonomous machines to scurry about an alien world such as the moon searching for and gathering resources just as an ant colony does.

Remote Control Insects: Yale University School of Medicine researchers have found a way to exercise a little mind control over fruit flies, making the flies jump, beat their wings, and fly on command by triggering genetic “remote controls” that the scientists designed and installed in the insects’ central nervous systems, according to a new report in the 8 April issue of the journal Cell.
