It's so awesome that when a doctor calls a simple prescription into a pharmaceutical mega-chain, and your location doesn't have it, they just wait until someone drives there to tell you that you can't have the medicine you need until tomorrow afternoon. Real well-oiled machine we got here. A+ work.

'No expense has been spared': Inside a luxury jet DHS wants to buy for deportations DHS leadership says the department needs the jet for immigrant deportations and Kristi Noem’s travel. A brochure given to passengers who recently flew on it with Noem highlights its β€œexceptional inter...

My colleague Julia Ainsley, who is not on this site but is a killer on the DHS beat, obtained exclusive photos of Kristi Noem's luxury jet that she needs for "deportations."

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Yup yup yup. Most of my libertarian contacts in Utah are from when I covered police use of force as a beat. It's been ... illuminating to witness their abdication of the issue amid the biggest expansions of aggressive police powers in living memory.

The libertarians in my orbit are very focused on "socialist" policies whose enactment is nowhere near plausible, but say little to nothing on the actual, ongoing deterioration of 4th amendment protections. Those who once opposed restrictive borders now are silent or supportive of mass deportations.

Anyway, Great Britain's Charlotte Banks won a gold medal, Italy's Michela Moioli won a silver and France's Lea Casta won bronze, for those who don't want to search for half of each team.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

A Metal Detectorist Unearthed This Heart-Shaped Tudor Pendant. Now, the British Museum Has Raised Millions to Put It on Public Display The only surviving piece of jewelry associated with Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon is now in the museum's permanent collection after a months-long fundraising campaign

Not gonna lie, I'd feel conflicted about selling this rather than wearing it around town. I'm not even into gold, and Henry VIII was a dick. But this is legit gorgeous. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a...

Felt it in my basement near 1700 S & 800 W. Just a couple jostles of the couch I was lying on. I initially suspected my cats were jumping on the arm/back rests.

Plan to keep Navajo coal mine open for 110 years runs into opposition Navajo officials want to keep a coal mine open for another 110 years, a plan critics say ignores a nationwide transition away from fossil fuels.

They've been finding precancerous polyps in me since I was 25. I had to start screening very early bc my mom was diagnosed at 45. It's fairly rare to occur in younger adults, but imo any family history should trigger early/frequent screening. I had one conscientious doc who made all the difference.

I'm so sorry about your friend. It's an incredibly unlucky hand to have been dealt. My fam just got "lucky" in that my mom was diagnosed early enough to treat & young enough for my brother & me to know we needed to start screenings very young.
