The Times's coverage of Feb. 3 and 4 accurately reported the public statements of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association. Our reporting also accurately contextualized the shift from both of these organizations regarding gender-related surgical procedures.

I don't think a simple "yes" is the best way for a politician to answer to this question, but this word salad is certainly worse.

Can’t describe how predatory this is and if index providers carve out an exception for them or other large IPOs it’ll be a huge hit to their credibility IMO.

Would love to sit in on the post mortem that came up with this cause of death
Occupy was the first time "people from the internet" showed up in on-the-ground activism, and it so infamously sucked for existing activists that it basically destroyed the counter-globalization era movement.

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

Damn, I hope Republicans "decide to win" on this issue
Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.
And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.
This is digging deep into Trump's base.
