howdy friends, does anyone have a good rec for books/websites on applying to law school, what to expect once enrolled? also scoping out non-JD degree tracks in health law

finally seeing season two of THE PITT. this is not an original thought, but the writers giving the hospital facilities/support staff substantive, three-dimensional characters really makes the entire show come alive. we so often erase them...

casual reminder that essentially every single republican in the federal government—from congress to the courts—watched the same january 6 coverage/videos as the rest of us. they know exactly what they are doing.

An absolute mess. The amount of rebuilding we are going to need to do to have a functioning justice system again is overwhelming to think about, and also makes essential transparency now on the scale and nature of misconduct in the USAO. There’s no repair without knowing the exact damage inflicted.

It appears Andrew Boutros decided to dismiss a $300 million fraud claim because he is so afraid of transparency and accountability. He should resign.

radical transparency!!

Of course, they do. (gift article)

RFK Jr. got real mad at the latest new york times report, and he wrote a real long tweet screed about it. around 95% lies, gaslighting, and bizarre nonsense, per the usual

CDC today released data showing self-reported alcohol use during pregnancy increased in the US between 2021 and 2024. Roughly 15% of women reported drinking, or nearly 1 in 8 pregnancies. We detailed this problem last month (1/2) www.statnews.com/2026/06/11/c...

RFK Jr. claimed his calendar, including meeting details, is public. But those records have not been released — despite more than a year of FOIA requests from @statnews.com reporters. More on the state of transparency at HHS, w/ @chelseacirruzzo.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2026/06/11/r...

tl;dr: A government watchdog investigated what STAT found in its Pulitzer-finalist "Denied by AI" series and found: -health insurance companies' denials for care were overturned 97% of the time when they were appealed -82% of people do not appeal and thus were wrongly denied care for no reason

So many great quotes in this article. "[...]dietary supplement market, worth more than $353 billion in 2019, experienced a 44% increase in sales during the first wave of the pandemic. [...] monetization of vaccine disinformation is often tied to the selling of dietary supplements"

Heads up for yet another push for the (wildly unpopular) "SAVE America Act," which would effectively disenfranchise millions of voters.

As the vindictive prosecutions ordered by Trump stretch on, judges and defense lawyers are starting to sketch out a road map for how to respond to the Trump DOJ’s abuses

If you have zero cats and are thinking about changing that, I highly recommend adopting a bonded pair of adults! It's actually easier than just one adult cat b/c they keep each other engaged.

people might be mad at the delay, but this is a good thing

Indivisible doesn't endorse any Dem primary candidates who take AI money because we know this is what they're all saying behind the scenes.

In March, I went to watch France and Brazil play a pre-World Cup game—half the game from an on-field VIP club, half from the cheap seats. Today I’ve got an essay out about what live sports are for, which seems like something a lot of us are thinking about right now. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Crazy at the end of the day the team name is pants. Let’s go pants. Pants in five. Pants or nobody etc.

Yesterday @centerforhealthsecurity.org participated in the UN High Level Meeting on Pandemic Preparedness and Response Multistakeholder Hearing. My intervention stressed the urgency of action for Ebola Bundibugyo response to save lives and for any legitimacy in global health multilateralism.

great news. other leaders who won’t fight should take note of how that ends up. and your colleagues will not forget your cowardice

As we near 1 month since the #Ebola outbreak in DRC & Uganda was declared, #WHO estimates the risk of further spread as very high in DRC, high in Uganda & countries neighboring those 2, but low elsewhere in Africa & globally. WHO is worried about ETU capacity in DRC. www.who.int/publications...
