Survivorship bias is real. People have thoroughly memory-holed COVID, even those who suffered multiple infections or lengthy post-COVID symptoms. "I'm done with COVID," patients tell me when I suggest they update their vaccine - including those who get an annual flu shot and are at very high risk.

"That’s why the Respect for Marriage Act is so important. That’s why Sen. Tammy Baldwin is a legislative genius for cobbling together a bipartisan majority to get that bill passed with Pres. Biden’s robust support back in 2022."

Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists. A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings. So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.

COVID-19 rates continue to take off across the U.S. as our summer surge hits every region. All metrics report substantial increases in SARS-CoV-2 spread in recent weeks — and the latest data are from early August, meaning levels may be much higher now than our reported numbers. bit.ly/4mgGDAP

As someone who is seriously impacted by long covid, I encourage you to take precautions (like masking in indoor public places) to protect yourself and those of us who are vulnerable.

When Trump declared a public safety emergency in D.C. Monday & took control of the Metro Police, also announcing he'd bring in the National Guard, the rules that apply everywhere else were not in play. The situation is unique & it’s important for us to understand. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences. The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.

Howard Stern asked Trump how young Trump would go. When Quivers asks for his “age limit,” Trump starts out by saying he doesn’t have one — but then gives a point of reference that looks not great in any light, saying he would draw a line at “12 year-olds”: www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Refuse to sign back into Darkbook anytime soon but I had to put this SOME where before going outside. That whole nonsense on my feed there? Thought to myself "This is "Lord of the Flies" cosplaying "12 Angry Men." #EnglishLitNerd #IYKYK

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month. There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵

The New Right's favorite group of Christian Nationalists are bringing their theocracy to D.C. – and Pete Hegseth is a part of it. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/christ-...

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp. Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X. I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?

You know what works better than thoughts and prayers? A functioning government.

If Epstein wasn't a trafficker or an abuser of young girls, then why is Ghislaine Maxwell is jail?

In Black households, women are the primary purchasers of home goods, beauty, and clothing. Kai's audience doesn't reflect that market. And this is why you need diversity, equity, and inclusion. This ain't it. 🤣🤣

It's been a rough year for the conspiracy theorists who supported Trump. Nothing on Epstein. Nothing of note on the JFK assassination. An actual rollback of transparency on UAPs/UFOs. These folks are realizing they're stuck with conspiracy blue balls, and they are not happy about it.

Needed smile after day. Cue DVR. Find new #GMFB WHEW. Happy to see Erdahl and T'eo back. (Miss Brandt!) SO great to have @cfrelund.bsky.social and Kabinda again. They have that great energy needed at the breakfast table! Equal parts good takes/silliness/improv/team vibe that is so unique to GMFB.

Emmy-winning Austin, TX based TV meteorologist on Facebook:

Truly imagine if Mamdani had used the word “Shylock.” It would have quite literally destroyed his career and every org and leader calling him out would be making this into a month long news cycle. Trump? Hardly a peep. When you accept antisemitism from the president, you aren’t fighting it.

Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

First they came for abortion. 
Now it’s birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care. The Supreme Court just ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood. (1/2)

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

NEW: 911 audio and EMS records from ICE detention centers reveal a surge in medical emergencies — including staff sexual assaults, suicide attempts, and head injuries. Records also show calls over severe pregnancy complications. Free to read: www.wired.com/story/ice-de... w/ @dell.bsky.social

@nflnetwork.bsky.social best part of GMFB is OFF season. Why strip this Emmy winning show for parts? Where are Brandt/Erdahl/T'eo? Steinbeck is good WITH them. He shouldn't be only familiar. Acosta Ruiz is FAB for news. Silly bits? Notsomuch. Everyday viewer since week 1. Fix it. Please.

Mitch McConnell told Senate Republicans that Americans concerned about losing Medicaid will “get over it." No one will “get over” losing a loved one because Republicans in Congress failed them.

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
