Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

This is what I sent her just now. Feel free to copy and paste it.

Alex Pretti, who is identified as the man fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, was an intensive care nurse dedicated to treating veterans. Read more about him here: https://wapo.st/3M62eyV

We are incredibly proud of the resistance for preserving and releasing this footage so the truth cannot be buried. Alex Pretti. A 37-year-old ICU nurse at the VA. Murdered by Trump’s regime. This is not okay. He spent his life helping people. He was an American hero.

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

A person who said they witnessed federal agents shoot and kill Alex Jeffrey Pretti submitted a sworn statement in court disputing the federal government’s account of the shooting. “I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong,” the person said in the statement.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Statement from his parents:

Breaking news: A prominent Minnesota Democrat and her spouse were killed early Saturday morning by a gunman impersonating a police officer. Another state lawmaker and his wife were shot overnight, believed to be connected to the same suspect, police said. A manhunt for the suspect is underway.

A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

We cannot tolerate allowing our political differences to explode into political violence that threatens our safety and our democratic form of government. We are praying for Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. Archie and I send our prayers to the Hortman and Hoffman families. We are bereft.

I am heartbroken beyond words that Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died in a violent and politically motivated shooting. Melissa was an exceptional public servant. She was smart and funny and so dedicated to making Minnesota work better for all of us.

“We’re here today because an unspeakable tragedy has unfolded in Minnesota,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday morning, adding that Hortman and her husband were killed in a "politically motivated assassination." Hear more from officials: wapo.st/45oghqY

Games will include marquee matchups at MLB ballparks and NFL stadiums.

Just drop some dwarf kale seeds, you cannot kill it even if you try. Kale will abide. The kale will outlive Trump. Kale, death and dishes wait for no man.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

Donald Trump is lying to you.

Fellow late Gen Xers please get boosted! Our age cohort maybe?? got shot #2 around HS grad. (& if you don’t have an amazing badass mom like @witch23.bsky.social who revered that yellow vax card from my birth thru when she made me take it over in my 20s you may not know if you got boosted)

Just saying.

Call out to all the Republicans who have posed for photo ops with Zelensky: Is today the day to finally speak out? Patriotism demands it.

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.

Of course people get upset when you take their health care away to help rich people who don’t even need it.

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player for the Minnesota Vikings, was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a plaque with references to President Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” at a library in Huntington Beach, California.
