No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

There were thousands outside protesting! And I’d like to think some of those folks leaving were doing same thing. I know die hard libs who ordered free tickets to leave seats empty. But my thought was to go and leave so who knows!!

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

This is quite the graph from a new retrospective cohort study in Neurology: “In conclusion, football is the leading cause of sports-related traumatic brain injury in children and young adults, and its risks are amplified by institutional promotion despite decades of accumulating evidence of harm.”
Figure one: age breakdown of traumatic brain injuries by activity. The graph clearly shows that American tackle football has the highest number of traumatic brain injuries.

Unclear and inconsistent U.S. immigration policies mean that children with immigrant parents are effectively locked out of the healthcare systems they are entitled to, APHA Executive Board Member Cynthia N. Lebron, Ph.D., M.P.H., explains: vist.ly/5kpg3
An image with a gradient from blue to orange has a quote in white text that says, "For families across the United States with immigrant parents, there’s one more calculation most Americans never have to make: Will taking my child to the doctor put someone I love at risk of losing their chance to stay in this country?" Beneath the quote is the author's name, Cynthia N. Lebron, Ph.D., M.P.H., Assistant Professor, University of Miami; Executive Board Member, American Public Health Association.
