On Sunday, the medical drama “The Pitt” won big at the Emmys, taking home the top prize for drama. Earlier this year, we spoke with one of the show's medical consultants about its spot-on depiction of the ER.

Looking back on what happened in 2001 and all that has come since, we must hold to the memories and examples of those who were lost, those who responded, and what it was like for this country to come together as one.

Judging by their rulings, the conservative justices of the Supreme Court believe that the use of race to improve political and economic outcomes for minorities is intolerable, but using race as a proxy for who does not belong in this country is permissible.

Assassination isn't the only form of political violence.

I passed a pop quiz today. I was dining near campus when a retired professor came up to me and asked me two questions about the content of a video that I helped him with in the 1980s. The answers? 'Telescoping etiatus (sp?)' and 'Idaho Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle'.

Looking at the polling, it seems like Donald Trump is not doing anything the country likes.

Autistic people are far more likely to have encounters with police, often leading to violence. Victor should be alive and with his family today, and this finding is completely absurd. That boy is DEAD.

If Trump “border czar” Tom Homan wants to visit Portland, he can attend my open-to-all town hall next month in Multnomah County to hear local feedback on Trump policies that include masked and unidentified agents snatching people off the street.

In 2021, Biden admin awarded Kerr County TX $10m in American Rescue Plan Act funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue warning system. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/10/t...

Mike Crapo said the “Big Beautiful Bill” wouldn’t touch Medicaid. Then, as Senate Finance Chair, he slashed it. Now, 70,000 Idahoans could lose their health insurance. He lied. Plain and simple.

More than ever, Americans must remain grounded in the founding principles of our republic. I'm proud to be among those from across the political spectrum supporting the @weholdtruths.bsky.social to remind us of the values we hold in common, and to help make the Constitution accessible to everyone.

The Secretary of Interference said she came to California with troops to liberate the state from socialist government.

On the one hand, such mockery is well earned. On the other, it could very well drive him completely insane, and he still controls the nuclear button.

It seems so long ago, but in fact this was the State of the Union less than three months ago when we had a steady captain running the ship.

Hey, Vietnam doesn't have a 90% tariff on American goods! We didn't tariff you at all on those 5 tons of bombs per capita! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

"Someone needs to walk into the Oval Office and say, "Mr. President, we just fired the person who may have saved your life." Dr. David Kessler on whether Donald Trump understands what his indiscriminate cuts at HHS are doing.

"I am very concerned that if these cuts are not rescinded, these will have an effect for decades." Dr. David Kessler, former FDA commissioner, is losing confidence that the damage Donald Trump is doing to the United States is fixable.

Some people seem confused by the “This is the way” reference. We mean that standing up to the Trump administration—no matter the cost—is the way forward for the resistance.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.
