A very funny subplot in these papers is that Ken Cuccinelli is an absolute nightmare to work with and former Rector Harding loathed him
My state senator, @creighdeeds.bsky.social, could not get answers from the University of Virginia (which he represents) about the ousting of President Jim Ryan, so he FOIAed them, for which they charged him $4,500 and took one month and four days to respond (five days are allowed by law).
State Sen. Creigh Deeds received his FOIA requests from U.Va. — here’s what we learned
After submitting a six-section Freedom of Information Act Request to the University Sept. 18, State Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-Charlottesville, received 284 pages of records Oct. 29, pertaining to former Un...

Sometimes I wish I was a member of @ama-assn.org so that I could resign my membership in protest.
@kylegriffin1.bsky.social the @ama-assn.org has caved to Trump. They invited known grifter Dr Mehmet Oz to give a speech, but, the AMA board/ John Whyte decided to censor all delegates in the following way.
1. Questions can be asked, but all must be vetted.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

“Better things are not possible, but you’ll survive if you hate the right people” is a pretty pure distillation of Republican ideology at this point.

Eight of nine Supreme Court justices claim to be Christian, and it is astonishing to me that they do not fear the wrath of an angry God

“Longevity experts” are court alchemists for modern billionaires
A note:
Peter Attia is *not* a physician.
He is not a scientist.
He graduated medical school.
He didn’t complete residency.
He is not board certified.
After dropping out of residency, he worked for McKinsey.
He then founded a private “longevity clinic” to hawk pseudoscience and grift.

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around
