My dog likes you.
I can't wait to watch this crazy new show about a snotty big city doctor finding laughs, love -- and most importantly himself -- in small town USA. Will there be an adorable, precocious moppet with an attractive single mom who will initially distrust the doc but grow to like him??

Yes the whole Nuzzi, Lizza, RFK Jr thing may be a grotesquely amusing indictment of access journalism, but it's important to also keep an eye on the damage -- some of it irreparable -- being done by RFK and the Trump white house 👇
A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation.

But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn.

The Indian Health Service Is Flagging Vaccine-Related Speech. Doctors Say They’re Being Censored.
Officials have deemed terms like “immunizations” and “vaccines” risky “buzzwords” that require approval to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations.

Kash Patel has a SWAT team going around to "protect" his girlfriend. The administration that claimed it would root out waste, fraud, and abuse sure loves spending taxpayer money on themselves.

Revolutionary idea for a new podcast: instead of talking with guests, I'll play popular music for a few hours each afternoon at a given time, breaking occasionally to provide traffic and weather updates.

Lizza’s who-knows-how-many-parts blog series reminds me uncomfortably of the guy who kicked off Gamergate by posting a giant screed enumerating every wrong he thought she committed in their relationship. Trying to ruin your ex’s life by torching her to an audience primed to believe everything.

Newsrooms have made online maps of where ICE has arrested people. What would it look like to mark these incidents in physical places?
fascinating idea.

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

This woman died because available, safe, lifesaving medical care, was purposefully withheld.

Now that a court has found this guy to be a serial liar, ideally the media would adopt that as Bovino’s Homeric epithet.
