Targeted gene therapies are highly effective at stopping cancers, but few patients are getting these treatments. The abundance of treatments, high costs and a rapidly changing medical landscape hinder access.

I know we're all tired of the "they just said it out loud" shtick but it feels noteworthy that the secretary of defense is articulating the Garrison State as an explicit objective of the American christian fascist project.

By no means am I defending anti-semitic losers who talk about "ZOG," but the overall ADL project - getting special no-boycott rules for Israel that no other country has an America - has clearly backfired. It's an incredibly useful story for bigots!

Israel's current government is utterly loathsome but I always try to be super specific in my criticisms of it because once you start making blanket denunciations of 'Zionists,' it can take you to some dark places.

The Kennedy Center was solvent when Trump took over. Then its finances collapsed.
The Post examined 15 years of the institution’s financial records to see why it went south after the president took over.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

I don't think Katie Britt went slackjawed because she was mortified by Eric Schmitt's sloppiness. I think she (like all Republicans) knew the hearing was meant to generate propaganda and lawfare and she was crestfallen to see it come apart. Reporters should ask her if she knew the ambush was coming.

Someone should ask Trump, just as a lark, how far Iran is from closest point in the US—and what the range of their missiles is. He won't know the answer to either. (During Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK pointed out that Soviet missiles had range of 1,000+ miles, so from Cuba could hit DC etc)
