I took care of numerous kids with fulminant hepatitis B in the 90s before the switch to getting the first vaccine at birth. I don’t recall having one since. I do not miss caring for that disease.

"for more than 50 years, the court was often in sync with the masses..However, when we analyze decisions during Roberts’ tenure as chief justice, starting in 2005, we find a negative relationship, indicating that the court has tended to move away from public opinion."

Contributor: When did the Supreme Court stop caring about public opinion?
The court has historically understood the perils of completely ignoring precedent and the will of the people. Chief Justice John Roberts is different.

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt.

*Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.
Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
