Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

On one level, rulers so much haven't changed as the penalties have offset, trading inbreeding for, what, self dealing and nepotism. We're 2 steps away from being back at inbreeding.

"On 40 Minutes"

New York City has bought more than 125,000 acres of land to provide a buffer around water reservoirs. It’s much cheaper than spending billions on filtration systems, officials say.

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it. Now it is their turn to show courage.

Stein: What is typical after a storm like this is that the federal government provides about 50, 60, even 70 percent of the damages in relief dollars to help a region recover from a massive hit. So far, North Carolina has received about 11 percent.

Someone call the FBI. We've just witnessed a mass casualty event ;-)

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Article 22 is a jewelry company that repurposes Vietnam War shrapnel and battlefield debris. A portion of their profits goes to the Mine Advisory Group, which works to remove landmines still left in Laos (they've removed more than 300k mines!). I like the company's "Shard" necklace collection.

The #1 movie when I was 10 years old was Superman II, a film in which a narcissistic tyrant assumes control of the United States, slaps his likeness all over it, even wrecks the White House.
