If there is a meaningful connection, this is concerning...to put it mildly...
(AP) — Authorities are investigating a connection between last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor two days later.

Tomorrow is the deadline for Trump to release the full, unredacted Epstein files, but let's not forget the DOJ has been on the hook to release them since my motion to subpoena passed in July.

It's well past time for transparency and justice for the survivors.

RFK Jr. keeps pushing the conspiracy that SSRIs cause mass shootings.

The evidence? Doesn’t exist.

Data show mass shooters are less likely to have taken antidepressants than the general public.

Gun laws, not medicines, explain the uniquely American scale of gun violence.

Under Trump, global health funding has taken a severe hit.

One of the most devastating consequences: a projected rise in deaths among children under five—the first such rise in 100 years.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.
