I ragged my son about getting a colonoscopy and getting a prostate exam. I also threatened to embarass him online. It worked.

I think some people are confusing pancreatic cancer with prostate cancer. Women don’t have a prostate, so yes ,men should definitely get checked for prostate cancer starting at 50, at 45 for African American men, and even earlier if there’s a family history.

My heart aches for D'Angelo and Angie Stone's son. I know the pain of losing a parent to a terminal illness but I cannot imagine having that happen in the same year as losing the other parent in a car accident. It is so incredibly tragic and unfair for that young man, who is only 26-27 years old.

"Millions infected in Germany. Flu, cold or corona?"

Germany reports 7.5 million new respiratory illnesses each week.

During Oktoberfest, over 6 million visitors gather in crowded, poorly ventilated tents in Munich—creating ideal conditions for viruses to spread rapidly.

Pretty sure it’s COVID.

The more I have clarity about the thing the more I feel ICE ads are airing just to the poors. Like you’d never see ICE ads during a F1 broadcast but wrestling shows and now Spotify are okay

Between this, the resegregation of the military, and the retooling of the Department of Justice to focus on (fake) discrimination against white Christians, and eviscerating Civil Rights Act enforcement, they have nearly erased the structural legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
