Instead of reading the recent piece in @TheAtlantic that misrepresents the history of public health, read this thoughtful and well-researched older piece from the same publication. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
We don't need Trump or Bondi to sift through the stack and tell America what they think is “credible” in the Epstein files. Thanks, but no thanks—we’ll decide ourselves. The president should stop playing us for fools and suckers. Release everything—now.
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over.…

Just sent out my free weekend update. As part of reality weekend i compare what Biden did for Ukraine and what Trump has actually done. Look, I was more critical of Biden than most, but compared to Trump, he was a Ukrainian lion. Trump has made Russia stronger.

Prof Skocpol making a crucial point here. The centralized police. And then the lawless quasipolice who guard the camps. Trump’s death bill moves the US towards those two thresholds, well known from Germany in the 1930s. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/critica…
