14 new shows a year about medical doctors. Zero shows ever about medical statisticians. WTF!?

How would one ER patient know that another ER patient is an illegal alien?

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

I hope they know that you can't simply cut it down because it will send up numerous shoots. They need to apply the appropriate herbicide to the stump in a specific way. It can be a hydra-headed monster.

Yes, it's just terrible when you're golfing and you look up and see something that's beyond ugly, harming the environment, and is subsidized by US taxpayers, and then remember that he is President of the US.

I spent 25 years presenting evidence to federal grand juries.

Mullin is absolutely wrong. He has no idea what he's talking about.

It's the grand jury TRANSCRIPTS that are sealed, NOT the evidence and reports that were presented to the grand jury. DOJ is free to release all that evidence.

Maybe it’s just me, but I will say that I find the normal, Washington D.C. reportorial voice and attitudeβ€”worldly, knowing, ironicβ€”off-putting when writing about a child rapist.

Well, I guess that's the last we'll ever hear from Colbert. Too bad, he seemed to have some promise.

You've just blown your chance to ever be invited to write a column for the NYT.

As a scientist who has been treated for cancer, and understands climate change, I think you have made a good analogy.

The Supreme Court took one look at all the No Kings Day protests, agreed wholeheartedly and crowned Trump Emperor instead.

You wouldn’t say that someone was a gravity skeptic. You’d just say they were wrong. Vaccines work. Period. That is a verifiable fact.

RFK jr doesn’t even have an undergraduate degree in the life sciences. Why should I put any stock into what he thinks about vaccines? My degrees are in Communication and Adult Education. If I built a bridge would yall trust it?! No!

I will take my wins wherever I can get them and blow them out of proportion. America is incredibly depressing

As Trump Celebrates Army’s Founding, His Critics Take to the Streets

This @NYT.com article incorrectly claims Dallas as a stronghold of Trump support: "In Dallas, another stronghold of Mr. Trump’s support, crowds of protesters stretched across a wide street for at least five blocks." In reality, Dallas County voted 60.8% for Harris.

The New York Times front page.

The New York Times front page.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
