Long covid made me go from being a fairly competitive rower exercising multiple times a day to a wheelchair user who couldn't walk up the stairs in my own home.

I am doing much better but it has been *years*, and getting sick still floors me in a way it never ever did before. It's no joke.

Please mask when in medical facilities. High risk people are getting preventable COVID and other infections and getting very sick and even dying from infections caught at necessary medical appointments

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

Was it America First or Argentina First? Somehow there’s $40 billion for Argentina.

Superb @thewire.in interview with Ashley Tellis, who is right on the money on problems in the 🇺🇸-🇮🇳 relationship.

Full Text | Ashley Tellis on Trump’s Tariffs and Whether India is Collateral Damage - The Wire

Retaliation is a very costly and unproductive strategy because at the end of the day, India depends more on the United States than is the case in reverse.

The Opus Dei court gave Trump “Absolute Immunity,” so that he could terrorize this nation and continue his criminal activities without repercussions. Everyone should write to John Roberts to demand they undo the ruling. Better yet, let’s start a petition to reverse the ruling and remove John Roberts

Fox news literally just cut away from coverage of the Dem press conference on fired workers to video footage of cows standing in a New Hampshire field.

JD Vance tries to downplay leak of disgusting Young Republican chats

For JD Vance to suggest it’s “pearl clutching” to condemn those who were part of a racist group chat says a great deal about the vice president's judgment.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.
