It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

VARNEY: We were told coal is the dirtiest fuel & there are more CO2 emissions than from gas. Is that no longer true?

BURGUM: It's true, but then the question goes back to reversal of the endangerment finding, which is, is CO2 a pollutant or something that helps plants grow? We know it's the latter

National guard troops lounging outside a Krispy Kreme

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,

They are kicking 11 million American citizens off Medicaid. None of them are undocumented. And every other American’s access to healthcare will be reduced by the impacts those cuts have on services and facilities.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) had a survival rate of 10% in the 1960s. 75% of ALL cases are in kids under 6, btw.

Today? It has a survival rate over 90%.

That's thanks to:
Chemotherapies
Scientific research
Biopharmaceutical therapies
Evidence-based medicine

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate

As the end-of-the-line person who treats poisonings & answers questions about poison, I use chemical sunscreen every day & would not use this product because it’s just a scam. No commercially-available sunscreens are “poison/poisonous” no matter what influencers say to get you to buy their products.

The Senate is considering a bill to spend money on “TruBLOC,” a “fentanyl-neutralizing spray” for law enforcement, which is actually just an Axe bodyspray canister that sprays orange latex on drugs to prevent “powder form fentanyl (from) exploding” bc they think LEOs are ODing on fentanyl in the air

There is evidence COVID switches platelets from a haemostatic to an inflammatory role. The result is increased immunothrombosis but impaired hemostasis ie more clotting AND bleeding.
