Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board?

Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace.

Reporter: Have you seen any shows there?

Trump: No, I didnโ€™t go.

The mask comes off Alabama's immigration bills โ€ข Alabama Reflector A bill included in the Alabama Legislature's immigration package evokes the worst parts of the nation's past.

My column this week. There's a bill in the Alabama Senate that would make it a crime to conceal, harbor or shield โ€œfrom detection an illegal alien if he or she knows or reasonably should have known that the other individual is an illegal alien.โ€ It's language that evokes the worst of our history.

Since I was laid off from Vox a few weeks ago, I no longer cover public health for that outlet -- but I sure do stay in touch with my many sources at the CDC and in public health more broadly

The overwhelming msg they're getting this week is that this admin simply has no idea how anything works

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20, the day Trump took office. The moves at OPM, and upheaval inside the Treasury building, underscore the sweeping influence Musk is having across the government.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Delivery of groceries curtailed by weather so ventured out to shop for our family and my daughterโ€™s family. Like the old days of 2020 before pickup and delivery became our norm. Was the only one to #maskup but glad to be out with my paper list and pen.

Jimmy Carter didnโ€™t sell Bibles with his name on them, claim to be Godโ€™s appointed leader, or promise to make Christianity great again.

He lived out his faith through love and service by pursuing peace worldwide, teaching Sunday school, and building 4,447 homes with Habitat for Humanity.

My oldest daughter had a baby in 2021 and 2023. We did everything we could to help her avoid infection and she did. But her care provider MDs were pretty vague and these were my colleagues. Labor was an adventure in infection prevention as well especially in 2023. Infuriating !
