Good folks, let’s help Betty this holiday season. #KindnessMatters 💙
I spoke with Betty. She was very emotional and asked me to tell you that “she would love to give each one of you a great big hug.” We’re so close to changing her life. If you can give $5 or $10, it would be awesome. If not, I completely understand, but a repost is free. Thanks very much.
I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Such a great baseball story from the hell site.
Jim Koenigsberger on X: ""I was eating a chili dog when I heard Mgr. Chuck Tanner wanted me to hit. I had chili all over my shirt, so I put on a new one and a pair of pants with no underclothes." Dick Allen What did Allen do after that? "Sparky Lyle threw me a slider and it wound up in the seats." Dick https://t.co/123J9f3tTk" / X

This is a great example of what not do to when you write a headline—especially a cover story.
This is irresponsible. He is not in science he’s against science. He’s killing people because he is so AGAINST science.
Press—do better. Do not repeat their messaging. Do not repeat the lies.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?
