My guess is Kean was discharged from the hospital and then went into a residential or outpatient program for a period of time. Highly unlikely he went back to work straight from the hospital.

Can anyone suggest an AI tool that doesn't kiss ass? Just answer the prompt and ask if that works. If I need the response tweaked for clarification or simplicity or I decide I need something additional, I will ask. But I don't need it to tell me how great I am for asking the question.

Trump’s executive order to reschedule marijuana will do little to enable research or reduce legal penalties—but it will hand a tax break to an industry that extracts enormous profit from addiction, Charles Fain Lehman argues:

Rescheduling Marijuana Is an Enormous Mistake
Trump’s executive order does little more than offer a tax cut to an industry that profits from addiction.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Alt text: A four-panel meme of a man putting on clown makeup step by step. Each panel has text suggesting increasingly absurd attempts to link a shooter to being transgender. First panel: "The shooter was trans" (man applying white base). Second panel: "The bullet casing was trans" (man adding colorful face paint). Third panel: "His roommate was trans" (man putting on a rainbow wig). Fourth panel: "The shooter once saw a trans person on the internet" (man fully dressed as a clown). The meme mocks exaggerated or illogical associations.

Chris Hayes just used this graphic, showing Iran’s nuclear activity was small, then non-existent under the Obama deal, & immediately exploded after Trump unilaterally broke the deal. 🚩They were complying. Obama returned their own impounded money back and they felt seen.🚩 🧨Trump & Bibi blew it up.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

It's not just Vance - the sense of unearned entitlement is a defining feature of this administration. People who know their careers are built on a grift respond by self-righteously demanding deference and respect. "Did you even say thank you?"

Normally if someone tries to kill a governor, the president is briefed, calls the governor, and issues a statement committing resources to bringing perps to justice. It’s not just that we don’t expect Trump to be kind—we have to wonder if he’ll allow a real investigation at all.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.
