Okay, so while I don't like the "Democrats need to do more" because it's stupid
I think there's room for "Democrats need to SAY more."
Like the clip of Maxwell Frost. But y'all can go even harder. Call them names, remind the people of how absolutely scummy they are right now

Rep Maxwell Frost:
1,500 at our Townhall in Wichita, Kansas this morning.
Working people across the nation are pissed off about this rigged economy, and they’re showing up.
Wichita’s Congressman refuses to host a Townhall, so we pulled up instead.

At t-2 1/2 hours one independent #Starship flight 9 webcast has already been on for a while at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAdLlG9Rfd4 - others will start at 21:30 UTC on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hgDhgTaV5s (they also have cameras on the Bahamas, just in case ...) and at 22:50 UTC at https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1OwxWXMRAXmKQ from SpaceX themselves. Meanwhile "The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary" has vanished there completely ... so it's "A Road not Taken" now, Robert Frost would approve of that. ;-)

Optimizing Federated Learning Configurations for MRI Prostate Segmentation and Cancer Detection: A Simulation Study
Purpose: To develop and optimize a federated learning (FL) framework across multiple clients for biparametric MRI prostate segmentation and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using Flower FL to train a nnU-Net-based architecture for MRI prostate segmentation and csPCa detection, using data collected from January 2010 to August 2021. Model development included training and optimizing local epochs, federated rounds,…

Smith normal forms of bivariate polynomial matrices
In 1978, Frost and Storey asserted that a bivariate polynomial matrix is equivalent to its Smith normal form if and only if the reduced minors of all orders generate the unit ideal. In this paper, we first demonstrate by constructing an example that for any given positive integer s with s >= 2, there exists a square bivariate polynomial matrix M with the degree of det(M) in y equal to s, for which the condition that reduced minors of all orders generate the unit ideal is not a sufficient condit…

Observed Latitudinal, Longitudinal and Temporal Variability of Io's Atmosphere Simulated by a Purely Sublimation Driven Atmosphere
How much of Io's SO$_2$ atmosphere is driven by volcanic outgasing or sublimation of SO$_2$ surface frost is a question with a considerable history. We develop a time dependent surface temperature model including thermal inertia and the exact celestial geometry to model the radiation driven global structure and temporal evolution of Io's atmosphere. We show that many observations can be explained by assuming a purely sublimation driven atmosphere. We find that a thermal diffusivity $α=2.41\tim…
