Tatiana Schlossberg, a granddaughter of JFK, is dead at 35 after cancer diagnosis Schlossberg wrote in The New Yorker on Nov. 22 that she had acute myeloid leukemia, with a rare mutation called Inversion 3.

#TatianaSchlossberg will be forever remembered & forever missed. May she forever haunt the dangerous, deadly, vile #RFKjr! Schlossberg also criticized her cousin, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, whom she said was "an embarrassment to me and the rest of my family"

Trump called his critics scum which is actually what he and his minions are. We are being led by a โ€œleadershipโ€ of psychopaths but we will get through this!!

American Academy of Pediatrics loses HHS funding after criticizing RFK Jr. โ€” The Washington Post HHS cuts key AAP grants, citing concerns about โ€œidentity-based languageโ€ and insufficient focus on agency priorities. The organization said the cuts could harm child health.

Because of this heroin addicted, brain-worm infected POS with Zero medical training, and with Herr Trumpโ€™s blessing, will get even more kids sick or worse all because he was criticized and โ€œidentity basedโ€ language was used.

Those of us who lived in NYโ€”I was raised in a Trump buildingโ€”always knew what a con family this was. He is a failed businessman. He is also a malignant narcissistic sociopath. We need to educate voters or 2026 will be a shit show. Weโ€™ve got some movement now,keep up the momentum!!

He adamantly insists that he is "fully alive", and if that is the case, then I apologize if I thought you were a fake.

Trumpโ€™s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most. Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

This story stemmed from this question: what will be the human toll of Trump's climate rollbacks?

Turns there is emissions modeling that can help provide an estimate.

Using modeling from @rhg.com we estimated the additional death toll as high as 1.3 million

Gov. Abbott released 1,400 pages of emails about Elon Musk. Most are blacked out. Abbott fought for months to keep secret emails between his office and Elon Musk. Now, hundreds of pages have been released.

NEW: Remember that story we broke a few months ago with
@propublica.org @texastribune.org?

We reported Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not want to release his office's emails with #Elon #Musk. Well, we have an update. www.kut.org/politics/202... #txlege #FOIA #transparency #Texas

Want to Know if Someone Is Worried About Crime? First Ask How They Voted. The sitting president can be a better predictor of how safe someone feels than what the crime data shows.

The United States is experiencing historic drops in crime across almost all categories. But crime statistics donโ€™t necessarily change how safe Americans feel โ€” those beliefs are driven by political preferences.
