Trump could be impeached, removed by Congress, and jailed by Florida before Christmas Day 2026

Three clocks are running at once: a House that is already forcing impeachment votes, a fresh wave of Epstein-file pressure inside the Justice Department and the courts, and a Florida legal climate...

Do ‘gasotransmitters’ need to be gases? Andy makes the case in Redox Biology for Protic Small Molecule Bioregulators (PSMBs): a cross-cutting class of small molecules where protonation states impact biological speciation, permeability, & action. @agdavis98 doi.org/10.1016/j.redox.2025…
