"Ancient dormant viruses found in permafrost, once revived, can infect amoeba. 

“A team of climate scientists from France, Russia and Germany has found that ancient viruses dormant for tens of thousands of years in permafrost can infect modern amoeba when they are revived. 

For their study, reported on the open-access site Viruses, the group collected several giant virus specimens from permafrost in Siberia and tested them to see if they could still infect modern creatures...

The effort by the research team followed up on prior work in 2014 that showed a 30,000-year-old virus could be revived—and that it could be infectious.”

Dems Say They Weren't Pressuring Reporters to Reveal Sources — Roll the Tape - Julio Rosas

"Democrats attempted to get journalist Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger to reveal their sources on how they managed to get the Twitter Files during Thursday's hearing about the bias and malpractice of the social media site prior to billionaire Elon Musk buying it.
..."No one is interested in revealing 'journalists’ sources," Plaskett tweeted. "What we ALL should be interested in is what discussion, promises and/or deals Elon Musk has with Taibbi, Shellenberger," and House Republicans.
House Republicans posted video of Democrats' line of questioning proving they were, in fact, attempting to get Taibbi and Shellenberger to spill the beans...

How the Biden administration has quietly helped to ‘score’ conservative speech-- BY JONATHAN TURLEY

How the Biden administration has quietly helped to ‘score’ conservative speech - BY JONATHAN TURLEY

"Last year, the Biden administration caved to public outcry and disbanded its infamous Disinformation Governance Board under its “Disinformation Nanny,” Nina Jankowicz. 

Yet, as explored in a recent hearing (in which I testified), the Biden administration never told the public about a far larger censorship effort involving an estimated 80 FBI agents secretly targeting citizens and groups for disinformation.
Now it appears that the administration also was partially funding an “index” to warn advertisers to avoid what the index deemed to be dangerous disinformation sites. 

It turns out that all ten of the “riskiest” sites identified by the Global Disinformation Index are popular with conservatives, libertarians and independents.

• The index, run by a British organization, appears to be an effort to score and sanction sites based on their “reliability” to those in the political and media establishments.
• That sounds like a knockoff of China’s “social credit” system which scores its citizens, based in part on social media monitoring...

Abortion groups silent as pro-life advocates condemn Jane Fonda's 'murder' suggestion on 'The View' | Fox News: 

Pro-life advocates have swiftly condemned Jane Fonda's "murder" comments while pro-choice groups have so far remained mum about the Oscar winner's suggestion that those opposing abortions should be taken out. Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the abortion battle has been waged on a state level, something Fonda is extremely passionate about as expressed on Friday's installment of "The View."

Mexican president threatens to meddle in US elections with 'information campaign' against Republicans | Fox News - Lopez Obrador denied that fentanyl is produced in Mexico

• Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday threatened to launch an "information campaign" in the U.S. against Republicans, telling Mexicans and Hispanics not to vote for them unless U.S. lawmakers change their treatment of Mexico — an apparent threat of election interference by the head of state in response to U.S. calls for action against cartels smuggling fentanyl across the border.
• "Starting today we are going to start an information campaign for Mexicans who live and work in the United States and for all Hispanics to inform them of what we are doing in Mexico and how this initiative by the Republicans, in addition to being irresponsible, is an offense against the people of Mexico, a lack of respect for our independence, our sovereignty," he said.
