Exactly. And honestly, shame on everyone who gave them the benefit of the doubt. Much of this was so very predictable

Also, we don’t directly elect the president. It’s majority rule to elect our representatives and senators, but the electoral college determines president (as we are all painfully aware).
So there is an extra layer of BS on top of the unitary executive theory. The Federalist Society is a blight.

Or, you could just have smaller and larger portion options and…let folks choose. You know, like normal people.

It just kills me that there is basically no penalty when these folks lie. And Fox, and other right wing news sources happily platform this.

...for their defense, then they will further chafe against the built in financial advantage that we have.
As has been said before, complex problems always have an answer that is simple, easy to understand and completely wrong.

What gets left out of most of the discussions of what Europe pays for its defense is that the US has long benefitted from the post-war financial structures which favor the US - the $ is the world's reserve currency, and we control many levers of global finance. If Europe is going to pay more...

This will devastate the hospitals and systems that provide care. They will reduce services or close, and health disparities will worsen.
This will not be easily reversed. Resurrecting a marginally successful, mission-driven hospital is no small task; the number of groups willing to do so are tiny

I'm a physician who has spent my entire career trying to make health care work better, be safer, more effective, etc for patients (and clinical staff).
Watching this unfold just makes me ill. Cassidy absolutely knew better, sold his soul, and sold out his patients to help his political career.

... in the email. I was pretty annoyed, and almost clicked, when I realized that my bank never used my work email. I did not click, and it was indeed a scam.

The most difficult part of scam attacks is that we are all vulnerable, no matter how vigilant we are. Several years ago I had some wrinkles around a loan with my bank. I thought I had finally gotten it resolved, when I got an email saying that there was an issue with my loan and to click the link...

… doing some sort of apology tour. On the other, she’s really not apologizing for anything. Her interview with Tim Miller really shows that. She got all teary when he pressed her about her behavior, when she was just upset about being called out.
I don’t think this will work out well for her

A totally reasonable position. But I think there a couple of other things to consider.
First and foremost, the people who have been rewarded for their horrible behavior are those who are unapologetic. Nuzzi’s in this weird position where she’s trying to have it both ways. On the one hand she’s…

I don’t agree. She comes off looking terrible and her job at VF is now tenuous. This doesn’t help her one bit

How tf could they possibly know that the survivors were trying to “continue their mission”? Did they hold up signs or somehow send messages?

Take the train to Girona (30 minutes away). Next to the cathedral is a very small, but amazing museum. Beautiful polychromed sculptures, papal bulls from the 9th and 10th centuries. A similarly old and gorgeous tapestry. Totally overlooked gem.

That's really amazing! mRNA technology has so much potential. I am hopeful that as more evidence rolls in, it will become better accepted.
