No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never:
- comment on how much someone is eating
- comment on how little someone is eating
- comment on someone eating
This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

Ahead of Thanksgiving and amid frustration among American consumers over affordability, President Trump has recently insisted, often wrongly, that prices and costs were coming down. Here is a fact-check of some of his recent claims.
Fact-Checking Trump’s Latest Claims on Affordability

This kind of investigation (and a few wonderful columnists) is why I won't let go of my Times subscription and why I don't believe newsletters can replace legacy media—and I'm not sure they're even alternative. They're a supplement. Nothing can replace a well-funded newsroom.
I’m very glad The New York Times commissioned this research by Harvard. It’s the first look at how the Medicaid will hammer urban community hospitals. The Harvard research itself says 109 hospitals are most at risk, but I don’t see a link to the list? hsph.harvard.edu/health-quali...

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.
