It is so heartbreaking that we are at this place. “The doctors at Golisano Children’s in Hershey reached out to a retired pediatric infectious disease physician who had previous experience with measles before it was eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. “The learning curve has been steep,” Gavigan said”

Pennsylvania doctors are seeing what measles can do to previously healthy, unvaccinated kids
The virus is proving it can attack multiple organs, including the gut, liver, lungs and brain, even in children who were previously healthy.

The two teams that combined to win the past four WNBA titles got swept in the semifinals. Two teams that have never before won a WNBA title -- one of which is an expansion team in Year 2 -- will meet in the Finals. The 2026 WNBA season. Just as we all drew up.

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

My latest @npr.org story: If you have to use the U.S. Postal Service to return a mail-in ballot, USPS recommends mailing it at least a week before your state's deadline. And if you're mailing close to Election Day, stop by a post office to ask for a postmark to make sure it gets one on the same day
npr.org
Why mailing a ballot close to Election Day may get it rejected for a late postmark
If you're using the U.S. Postal Service to return a ballot close to Election Day, officials recommend getting it postmarked at a post office to avoid getting caught up in mail processing changes.

Headlines like “Has Woke Gone Too Far” or “Has ‘Me Too’ Gone Too Far” are a tell that those movements are just starting to take off. They are terrified of Black ethos breaking containment and so everything they can to shut down momentum.

One notable finding from our reporting: NIH for the second year in a row awarded fewer grants mentioning race or ethnicity in their project title. 598 awards this year, compared with 883 in 2024. (The Trump administration has vowed to cut programs connected to diversity, equity, and inclusion.)
Chart showing the number of NIH awards mentioning 'race' or 'ethnic' in the project title has decreased for the second year in a row after increasing every year from 2017 to 2024.

There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...
AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

    97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).
