Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weβll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβall so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Key conclusions:
Ioannidis's paper, while important because it stimulated much discussion, is itself false. Most published findings are not false.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
Iβve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. Iβve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
VAR is a crime against continuing the flow of the game. VAR literally violates the spirit of the game. Yes, things are missed. That is the frailty of life and yet the beauty of it.

Itβs a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. Itβs not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
