If it wasn’t for my neighbor’s knock on our door I’m not sure we would have gotten out.

“The editorial interference threatening 60 Minutes doesn't just betray journalism's core principles—it endangers the crown jewel of CBS News that has helped sustain the network financially and editorially for generations," the letter from CBS News vets reads. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

"Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Donald Trump telling Marjorie Taylor Greene not to talk about Epstein because "my friends will get hurt" is an example of how manipulative Donald is. Donald doesn't have any friends. And he only cares about himself. He was trying to manipulate her to protect himself.

“It is easier for anti-vaccine groups to chip away at public trust than it is for the medical community to rebuild it.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/o...

Actually, it's exactly the duty of an artist. To take a stand through their art.

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women. I wrote about this and how the far right sees subjugating women as key to building the sort of electorate they need to win. @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/women-should...

Before we go backward a couple of hundred years in medicine, maybe check out what lifespan was back then.

I know far less about this than Andrew but even I have been talking about the likely collapse of the insurance market for years. I lost my home in the LA fires in January and insurance co wants us to rebuild. I don’t know if we can insure the rebuilt home if we do.

Name one person who ever apologized for being white. Ridiculous.

Well Wisconsin. . .

Embarrassingly stupid.

Miller hates the 5th amendment right to due process and has contempt for the 6th amendment right to jury trial because he prefers authoritarianism.

People died of non-Covid things because they couldn't access care. What happens when kids are occupying hospital beds for months because they got tetanus unvaccinated?

So everyone without a doctor to consult is screwed. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

“These days, my students seem to find disconnecting as exotic as France itself — a foreign place they long to know, explore and re-encounter themselves through, as we so often do in travel.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...

Disgraceful is exactly right. And puts the “ass” in embarrassing.

Exactly.

Dear God. The MIT and Brown shootings were about professional jealousy? www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release — 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted. This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

Right. The question at this point is who isn’t in the photos?

“. . .districts that are going all-in on generative AI will realize they have made a massive mistake. A tech counterrevolution will begin.” I agree with Larry on this one.

They. Hate. Democracy.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

When my late father-in-law would push back in an argument with me, he would just repeat his point louder. Seems that’s the president’s strategy in this infomercial.

once again everyone would have been happier, Trump included, if we just Truman Showed him and let him play pretend president on the teevee

If I had $40 mil I’d pay that just to avoid watching a documentary about Milania.

Miller also said that American sweat and labor built the Panama Canal. But of course the labor came from China and a host of Central American countries. There was hardly an American behind a shovel throughout the project. This is the power of the Big Lie.

Facinating and spot on analysis here.

This is horrible news. I hope they do an investigation. I hate to be paranoid, but he was working on climate solutions. 😬

Just did a count and I’ve served as Chair of 19 doctoral dissertations. Many of my former students are faculty and leaders in the field and I am so proud of all of them.

The magnetic North Pole is drifting (up to 34 miles a year!) 🌍 That affects compasses, smartphones and navigation worldwide (including Santa’s sleigh). Here’s why it moves and how your devices adjust:

Excluding covid, the unemployment rate is at its highest level in over 8 years. The labor market is deteriorating particularly quickly for young workers, who are facing a 10.6% unemployment rate.

It's interesting to me that the GOP hates funding health care so much they are willing to lose elections to do it.
