The entire halftime show paid homage to the greatness of America. What the hell does a five time draft dodger know about loving this country.

Europe is holding its Epstein creeps accountable. Why can’t we? | Will Bunch

Europeans are pushing to hold Jeffrey Epstein's creepy pals, including billionaires like Elon Musk, accountable. The U.S.? Not so much.

really interesting, politically astute & convincing argument here for advancing public health by shifting the goal from β€œlife expectancy,” which lacks policymaker traction, to a barometer of β€œbasic needs met” β€” by my brother the doctor:

As @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org points out, @lawfaremedia.org now employs more journalists in Kyiv than the Washington Post.

It's a remarkable observation, and a sad one for the Post and its readers.

But with your support, Lawfare will continue to cover Ukraine, from Ukraine... (1/4)

To quote Emerson, "nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm". I'd like to see some actual enthusiasm out of Dem leadership. Where is that?
