As a survivor of nearly drowning when I was a child, I'm reposting this free article on the warning signs to look for in people who are in distress.

I thought it was to invade Cuba. Of course, the night is still young.

Skipping your son’s wedding to attend a staged assassination, attempt certainly is a choice.

It was not clear if the proposal Iranian officials said they had agreed to was what Trump was referring to in his post. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks, said Pakistani and Qatari mediators had been facilitated the draft agreement.-NYT

Those nuclear issues, which had been a major sticking point in talks, would be negotiated within 30 to 60 days, they said, adding that the deal would release $25 billion in Iranian assets frozen overseas.

They also said that it focuses on opening the strait— including lifting the U.S. naval blockade against Iran and allowing free commercial traffic without Iran charging any tolls — and leaves thorny questions related to nuclear issues for a later date.

Three senior Iranian officials said Iran had agreed to a memorandum of understanding that would stop the fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. They said the agreement would halt fighting on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

Fmr. State Dept. neg. Aaron Miller says Iran is the winner in this deal: They'll get some money, the blockade will end, it avoided nuclear concessions, and still retains the ability to close the Strait whenever it chooses, while the WH won't get anything it initially demanded.

Vladimir Putin is the worst U.S. president since Elon Musk stepped down last year.

The country has been lost on every conceivable metric

FUCK MAGA!

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

"Stephen, (Colbert) you're the first guy in America who's lost his show because we've got a President that can't take a joke." www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMrN...

FUCK MAGAS!!!!!

I’m posting a lot about Colbert, but it’s because I am much sadder about his tenure ending than I imagined. It just says something so sad about the nature of this political moment. Yet, I’m also so thrilled for him to have the freedom to do whatever his heart desires.

Staying up late, despite working yesterday, b/c 2-3am is about the only free, unbothered time you get. #RevengeSleep #SleepProcrastination

So. There we have it folks. We'll be watching this one closely and continuing to provide updates.

4. The outbreak is happening in an active conflict zone. Typically, investigators need to collect a sample, quarantine, and interview patients, all of which will be challenging in this setting.

3. There are six strains of Ebola. The one causing this outbreak is Bundibugyo, which we do not have approved treatments and vaccines for. Animal studies suggest therapeutics developed for the Zaire strain don't provide good protection. Oh, and the diagnostics for this strain aren't great, either.

2. Typical Ebola outbreaks are detected after a handful of cases. This one, hundreds. This makes stopping the outbreak more difficult because it has already reached large population centers and there are many unknown cases and contacts.

Here's why we think Ebola outbreak in the Congo a wee bit concerning. 1. WHO declared this a Public Health Emergency of International Concern without convening a committee. This hints toward the gravity of the situation from those with situational awareness.
