Two Delta Air Lines regional jets collided on the taxiway at LaGuardia Airport in New York, injuring a flight attendant, damaging a cockpit and tearing off part of a wing in what the airline described as a “low-speed collision.” https://to.pbs.org/4nZRzDa

Rubio's electronic-pop music is full of ambient sound, but at the Tiny Desk, her flow is reborn. In these sweeping arrangements, she casts a new spell.

This was a piece I wrote about when I knew the world would move on from his brutal murder. One of the most chilling moments I’ve experienced in my career was at a Time Magazine party, “honoring” Jamal. wapo.st/3WjFi0A

Chicago's main TFR is 15 nautical miles. That's radius, so 900x larger than each Los Angeles one. I've had an FAA remote pilot certificate (i.e., commercial drone license) for 8 years. Can't recall anything like what was just issued in Chicago. It's 12 days but can be extended like ones in LA.

An “immigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee. As Judge Young, an actual judge, made clear in one of the truly essential parts of his Tuesday ruling. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-will...

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

That is the privilege of public office. We help all our constituents get passports expedited, process VA claims, help address challenges their small businesses, schools and non-profits face without prejudice. Hell, I once nominated my opponent's son for a military academy appointment - with pride!

I don't think I can properly convey how bad this is. Thank goodness they are still accepting applications, since there's only 15 days every 3 months this is open. But if they don't process them? That is a whole world of hurt for new programs.

With last week's announcement on Tylenol, pregnancy & autism — & an FDA panel in July on SSRIs during pregnancy — I've been thinking about exclusion of pregnant women in clinical trials. Talked to some experts about how we got here, and what can change: www.statnews.com/2025/10/02/c...

Heading out to the beach today? ⛱️ Use extra caution given the Moderate to High rip current risk from Florida to Maine today (October 2). Try to find a beach with lifeguards - and when in doubt, don't go out! weather.gov/safety

From birth moms & other experts, I learned how complicated openness can be—even when it's part of the plan at the start. “We talk about open adoption as if it’s okay for everyone because there are no secrets,” a birth mom & advocate said. “In reality, the hurts of open adoption are just different.”

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

Superior, Wisconsin is the latest city to build its own affordable open access fiber broadband network, thanks heavily to broadband grants included in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Oh well. It’s not like we’re in the middle of deadly measles and pertussis outbreaks

Disappointed today in the people who are given multiple opportunities to do simple things and just never do those.

Some problems have simple solutions. This new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is one. The answer is simply saying no. Simple does not mean easy. But Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Univ of AZ, UPenn, USC, UT Austin & UVA must understand what they’ll lose if they sign on.

Mississippi recently declared a public health emergency because its infant mortality rate has surged. And with Medicaid cuts coming, experts fear the crisis may worsen in other states.

there are simply no words to describe the grief of this happening on yom kippur.

Now Jeanne Marrazzo, director of NIAID, joins Demetre Daskalakis, Deb Houry, Dan Jernigan from CDC, who spoke out, were fired or resigned before RFK Jr. could fire them. While our new Quislings are telling us we have to compromise with this administration, some still say no. Not on my watch.

Pritzker has to pull every lever here to go after these ICE agents and make good on his promise to protect his people

Take care of yourself today, friends. If you have to eat or take medication to do so, it's fine. It's actually required.

Never a good idea to discontinue facts. Unbiased science is critical to our mission and the Nation.

This new column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes me think about when I recently had to talk to the police for yet another safety plan, I tried to “lighten” the mood by saying that we all knew this wasn’t my first rodeo. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

"How the Word is Passed" is my favourite non-fiction book of all time, both because of its information and because of its prose. An adaptation for young readers is amazing to hear about.

This week's chicken and waffles theme: Greek. A spanakopita inspired spinach, onion, garlic and feta waffle with leftover chicken breast from Sunday's roasted chicken, tzatziki, ans cherrybtomatoes from the yard.

I am a well educated, pretty media literate person whose job it is to be professionally annoying. I cannot figure out if my cancer medication, which costs $17k a month (I do not pay anything thanks to a combo of insurance/access programs), is going to be tariffed 100%.

Riddle me this: why would an abortion ban need to change a state’s definition of contraception if lawmakers weren’t trying to (falsely) redefine some methods of birth control as causing abortions?
