I like Bregman's Cubs contract (5 years; $175M) than Bellinger's Yankees contract (5/162). Way to go Jed! #Cubs

The US Military is still loyal to the constitution ... so Trump had to create his own army of brownshirts who will do his bidding in spite of the law, in spite of the courts, and in spite of any human decency. ICE has to go - forever.
I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

U.S. Measles cases continue to rise unabated - with 125 new cases in South Carolina alone.

This is BEFORE the expected increase in transmission from holiday travel.

Ps: the MMR vaccine works.

The war Trump is setting up against Venezuela looks a lot like Putin’s war on Ukraine:
/ Completely avoidable
/ Based on lies that no one believes
/ Defiant of international law
/ Basically an armed robbery
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Bryan Vartabedian (aka "Doctor V") has been thinking and writing about physician influence for a long time. His recent blog post (open.substack.com/pub/33charts...) is a great read - and yet another argument for why industry needs to be more careful and detailed than ever in finding the TRUE KOLs.
Physician authority and influence
Who shapes thinking and who’s just good at getting attention?

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Weeks after announcing his retirement from Congress, TX republican Mike McCaul discovers that he still owns a pair of testicles. Apparently he's had them in storage since 2015. www.expressnews.com/politics/tex...
This GOP Texas congressman has a warning for Donald Trump on tariffs
Outgoing U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul said the president's trade deals are risking U.S. relationships abroad and opening the door for Chinese influence.

The answer to this seemingly reasonable point is obvious:

Republican leaders, including the president, actively incite, praise, and reward violence.

And while some online leftists might do the same, Democratic leaders do not. It's a fundamental asymmetry that French is obscuring.
