The checkpoints aren’t mere inconveniences. They can be dangerous—deadly, even. Nearly two-thirds of people in the West Bank say checkpoints have been a barrier to their access to medical care.

This does help explain why every MAGA "celebrity" we hear about is a C-lister who peaked as a TV star twenty years ago, or the guy who used to be popular until they caught in a public fiasco

Politics and Health 🗳️ 🩺 @politicshealth.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Read into the Congressional Record this past April by Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed:

We are a group of neurologists, forensic
psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, and
other physicians, along with other mental
health professionals, experienced in the diagnosis of cognitive disorders and in evaluating dangerousness to self and others. Among us are professionals whom the courts and criminal justice system regularly turn to for our expert opinion on these matters. We are also consulted by governments in matters related to national security and the psychological profiles of world leaders. Prior to the presidential election in the Fall of 2024, a statement assessing Donald J. Trump's mental fitness for the presidency was issued. At that time, serious signs of cognitive decline were identified and in our expert opinion,
these signs warranted disqualification from office.
It is our professional opinion, based on previous and ongoing assessments, that Donald Trump's mental state since our 2024 statement has deteriorated even further. In keeping with our professional ethics, and for those of us who are physicians, with the Declaration of Geneva--the successor to the Hippocratic Oath that binds us to the humanitarian principles of medicine since the Nuremberg trials--we are compelled to warn of a President of the United
States who is increasingly a danger to the public.

Even if Vance can convince voters he was an Iran war skeptic from the start, that only means he was too weak and ineffectual to do anything about it. “Don’t blame me, I tried and failed” isn’t exactly a message that will portray him as a strong leader. @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN:

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

Historical remains of this hero cult include a sanctuary dedicated to Odysseus on Ithaca...recently unearthed coins and tiles bearing his name. The discoveries shine a light on the...interplay between real people, fictional heroes, and spirituality in the ancient world'. Humanities matter.

For 1,000 years, a cult worshipped the hero of the Odyssey

The Odyssey was far more than entertainment to ancient Greeks. Archaeologists have unearthed evidence of a cult that revered the Homeric hero on his legendary home island of Ithaca.

Intentionally concealing the death of a U.S. senator to manipulate legislative business or the succession process could expose those involved to serious federal criminal charges. No one gets to hide a death for political gain.
