A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

Fucking Cash. The one time you don’t hook the starter early. Why the hell was Rasmussen still out there when your pen was ready to go. Grrrrrrrrrt.

JRam's last two homers are definition of "I contain multitudes"

This game is bonkers. It’s also piling up evidence supporting my belief that playing the infield in will hurt you way more often than it helps you.

I find it interesting that both of the baseball players Donald Trump has advocated for and/or honored this year – Roger Clemens and Pete Rose – were involved in the exploitation of girls who were no older than 15 at the time. What a weird coincidence.

Is being super intoxicated on controlled substances ever debated as potentially exculpating for any violent crime other than sexual assault? It’s like saying: sure he was driving while intoxicated when he ran that lady over but that’s just cause he was wasted.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel's interview of Talarico and how I wish everyone could just watch these 94 seconds. Please take a minute and half of your day. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

Literally every factoid on the right side is incorrect, plus he was not right-handed, and didn’t wear #32 for the Dodgers. Pretty sure that’s isn’t even a depiction of his face, either. But other than that, DogShitAI nailed it

While they're at it, let's replace the turbines with paddlewheels.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

The only time Republicans get upset about kids getting shot is when it’s with vaccines.

A tax that is losing money? You can see how this guy managed to bankrupt a casino.

War and Tariffs is a multisyllabic way of saying Trump

What a last two minutes. Spence goes out, France goes right through his space and scores, then Bellingham with a great run gets his goal - after giving up his great chance via PK to Saka. And that’s just two-plus minutes of a 6-4 game. Unreal.

In England they will forever sing songs of the valiant stand by their outnumbered heroes. Legendary.

If Trump isn’t on the phone tomorrow to get Balogun un-suspended what even was the point of all that corruption

Everyone in our country should read this. Sending love and support to Pete and Chasten and their twins.

This is like the old days on Twitter. I just saw it now, but this person predicted the reflecting pool debacle a month ago.

100 minutes of soccer, maybe 15 seconds of drama. Sigh

Hmmm. Can anyone think of an obese 79-year-old with the power to get NIH and FDA to give him access to a novel obesity drug?

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

Wow. Hand him the Pulitzer right now. (Is there still a Pulitzer for editorial cartooning? Ugh, now apparently it's "Illustrated Reporting and Commentary.")

The most embarrassing part of this correction is the reporter’s reliance on AI to do her job… But the second-most embarrassing part is that this corrrection ran more than two weeks after the story was published. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/w...

A Pulitzer for Julie K. Brown. Richly deserved, and overdue!

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

From AP, summing up the US today in one sentence: "... Companies continue to deliver big growth in profits. Tyson Foods... sold less beef than it did a year ago, but it did so at prices that were 11.5% higher, so its total beef revenue edged up."

New: Aides to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis quietly devised a plan to kick as many as 100,000 Floridians off their health insurance — including mothers of children as young as six years old, according to records obtained by Seeking Rents. jasongarcia.substack.com/p/desantis-p...
