I gasped! The Mighty Sparrow has left us. One of the most important and popular Calypsonians to ever do it! Songs filled political fire, irreverence, humor, naughty (very, very naughty) banter, and beats that make you wind your waist! Rest in Power, Sparrow. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/a...

Today is also the six month anniversary of my father’s death. While I was fighting the Washington Post, I was deep in grief. I hate that I can’t call him to tell him the news that I got my job back. But Daddy, wherever you are, I did it. I stood up for myself like you told me to do. 😭

Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: https://nej.md/4nWaxvM #ASCO26

I am a retired drug discovery scientist & physician. 🥹 these results are profoundly meaningful both for patients and science. We will not stop.

JD Vance: "Fighting fraud in DC is a little bit like fishing in a barrel with a nuclear weapon. Every day my staff brings me new reports of the ways you're being defrauded. You should not be able to steal from all of you and give it to fraudsters."

Conversion therapy has been discredited by every mainstream medical and mental health association. It’s not legitimate medical care and has harmed many of our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors. This Supreme Court decision is dangerous and hugely damaging.
