Experts describe findings as deeply concerning and predict 70% increase in related deaths by 2050 Hospitals across the world have recorded an alarming rise in common infections that are resistant to antibiotics, with doctors saying the number of deaths driven by drug resistance will increase sharply in the years ahead.

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

The high-profile success of Olivia Nuzzi & Bari Weiss sends such an awful, awful signal to, and about, female journalists. So many sharp, careful, dedicated journalists out there and *this* is what the establishment rewards? This is the incentive structure? It's so gross.

Good: urging people to break out paralyzed stasis and exercise their agency to proactively seek solutions to problems

Bad: insisting that the agency for solving problems falls with other people and you yourself should simply be mad they are not being solved for you

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.

The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

I didn't know it was 67 there. That's...a long time.

It's a couple of years shorter here but I'm certain the time will be lengthened in the next couple of years so higher earners can still keep theirs while ordinary people keep paying the full freight.

There is no amount of open corruption that will wake up Americans. That family has realized this crucial truth. They broke Senate, media and Supreme Court. Nobody dares to stand up. We live in a Republic of fear and cowardice.

This is infuriating. She excuses the orders as "preliminary," but that's an argument for applying settled law or preserving the status quo. Allowing POTUS to disregard Congressional appropriations and fire independent agency heads are neither, they're a radical restructuring of Constitutional order.
