Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Researchers are now seeing the ovary not as an egg factory with an expiration date, but as an organ that impacts a woman’s overall health. They are just beginning to understand whether changes to the ovary after menopause are harmful, protective, or some combination of the two, shifting over time.

This isn’t the first time the ovary’s role in maintaining health has been underestimated. For decades, surgeons removed healthy organs during hysterectomies, figuring they weren’t doing much besides posing cancer risks. But 20 years ago, evidence began accumulating that removing healthy ovaries actually harms a woman’s overall health, finding an increased risk of dementia, cardiovascular disease, and premature death.

Thought experiment: What if no one covered him anymore? No press pool. No reporters. What if no one published his stupid version of twitter posts? What would ignoring him do? Everything else would be covered in this thought experiment, just no one would say his name in print. Ever.

After recapping another busy week of summer #SCOTUS news, today's "One First" walks through why President Trump's categorical exclusion of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico is such an open-and-shut First (and Fifth) Amendment violation — even under the logic of the D.C. Circuit's stay ruling in the AP case:

stevevladeck.com

251. Newsgathering, the First Amendment, and the White House

President Trump’s viewpoint-based exclusion of three outlets from the White House is clearly on the wrong side of the Supreme Court's First Amendment doctrine.
