Unbelievable. While his party does all-night votes to rip away health insurance from millions, Trump hawks his perfume. Bet it smells like this whole bill β€” garbage.

Today’s resignation by UVA president due to DOJ pressure should be understood amid yesterday’s creation by Southern states of their own higher education accreditation agency. Both seek to wield power against the independence of universities.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Speaker of the House calling on a sitting governor to be "tarred and feathered."

Just unconscionable rhetoric. Unconscionable.

It's hard to have a democracy when one of the two major parties refuses to treat the other as legitimate and capable of governing.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Crystal Palace have done it. They have won their first ever major trophy.

Oliver Glasner's side beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Selhurst Park's immortals.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

β€˜Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

It was a pleasure to introduce today’s panel on the impact of CPKC Stadium on the KC economy.

Parker Poe has been counsel to sports facility developments across the nation. We believe in the power of these developments to shape cities and neighborhoods.

Sadistic language from the White House, gleefully revelling in contempt for law, judges & individual rights. This is what incipient fascism looks like.
