This is an inspiring read especially for those of us on the cusp of the end of our running days but not quite ready to give up yet. 50 Years Ago, He Was an Olympian. At 80, He’s Just as Happy to Finish Last. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/w...

Did slashing multiple vaccines from the childhood vaccine schedule bring the US in line with other countries? In a word, no. The US now recommends all kids be protected against fewer diseases than South Korea, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan & many more. www.statnews.com/2026/01/09/c...

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

@hassan.senate.gov I once donated to your campaign. Can I please have my money back now?

First Trump blackmailed universities into suppressing free speech. Now he’s bribing them with taxpayer dollars to enforce his agenda. Corruption and authoritarianism, plain and simple. No university should cave to this blatantly unconstitutional coercion.

As of this afternoon, not a single career DOJ attorney has entered an appearance in the case against former FBI Director James Comey. Only the newly-appointed U.S. attorney is listed. That's extremely unusual.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Wow!

Big turnout in the rain for No Kings in Newton, Ma. This was my sign. A number of people came up to me to comment on it and to talk about their dads, too.

In any event, I did actually write about tariffs this week, from a LEGAL perspective. The tariffs were unconstitutional, then they weren't, but they will be again, until it gets to the Supreme Court. It's confusing but I explain it in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

No sign of Jake Tapper’s new book at my local independent bookstore but it did have several cute board books about cats for my granddaughter. (Also spotted: Bad Law by Elie Mystal and Becoming by Michele Obama.)

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

I’m in my 70’s and I recently caught Covid. Being fully vaccinated my case was so mild my doctor didn’t even think I needed Paxlovid. Sounds like these fools are good to end the vax for good though.

SNL White POTUS skit is just wow! (Don’t bother watching until you’ve seen the entirety of season 3 of White Lotus.)

The bad news governor Murphy is that you are being investigated. The good news is that you are being investigated by an idiot. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/n...

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

“For the most part, both sides of the political divide have recognized the obvious value of American science to society and have broadly supported public investment in it. But this no longer appears to be the case”. We have fallen so far, so fast.

Thanks to MedPage Today for inviting me to write this op ed on The White Lotus finale! You know i love to talk about toxicology :) @medpagetoday.bsky.social ☠️🪷 www.medpagetoday.com/popmedicine/...

Four miles running barefoot on the beach. On the return trip I faced a constant 28mph + headwind. Slow is an understatement but at least I got it done.

Americans of my generation have all our arms and legs thanks to a female FDA scientist who refused to approve thalidomide. Who will be there to protect generations to come? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

First outdoor run since November. Also first post covid and the first since ditching my knee brace. Yes, I felt like I was going to die but my iwatch tells me my “near death” to me effort was only moderate. Not sure what to make of that.

Day 7 of covid still testing positive. As long as boredom can’t actually kill you, I should be back in action soon. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Embarrassed, shocked and angered beyond words and I don’t even need to explain what I’m talking about.

Whatever. No sympathy. Everybody who voted for Trump voted for somebody to get hurt. Everybody who voted for him knew he’d do awful things to some people. They just didn’t think they’d be the “some people.”

I just can’t seem to catch a break with my running.

I’ve long admired Senator Murphy. Smart, totally focused on his job being a senator and not afraid to speak out. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

About three weeks ago my aging 70+ year old knee was so painfully out of whack that at times I could scarcely walk on it. Today I ran 3 miles on the treadmill. Never give up!

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Hoping this counts for a workout today!

Musk and other Silicon Valley executives have long railed against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for its work overseeing the tech industry. Now, Musk hopes to eliminate the agency.

For a quick sugar high to “own the libs,” the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldn’t be reversed for a generation. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

My first day back at the gym since that grim day in January and the first song that randomly comes up on my playlist is “On the Eve of Destruction.” Yes, I do believe we are on the eve of destruction.

Oh great! Just as we are about to get a Secretary of Health and Human Services who wants to pause research on infectious diseases and is anti vax. scitechdaily.com/scientists-d...

Etsy has me pegged! As a long ago major in Ibero-American history I know what I’ll always call it!

“All I can do is tell you that the order is unconstitutional, and racist, and obviously so. The people who support this order are wrong, and racist…This order violates one of the fundamental principles of the United States, and people should react to it like it does.”

This is what people who say they "back the blue" voted for.

So far Trump has issued a lawless order reinstating TikTok, pardoned 174 people who assaulted police officers, incorrectly identified the Gulf of Mexico, and the media is so scared they’re not showing the Shadow President’s Nazi salute. It’s not yet 9:00 on the east coast.

Nothing is more American than banning TikTok before AR-15s
