This was an unexpected listen, but what a timely discussion! I had not intended to look away from the abyss today, but am now feeling connected and more in-tune with the balance we all wrestle with. I can’t wait to read this book.
Today’s episode of The Ezra Klein Show.

The writer Kathryn Schulz on losing her father at the same time as finding her life partner, and how to hold radically different feelings at once.

Mifepristone is one of the most studied, safest medications in use today — over 20 years, 100+ studies, millions of patients.

Attacks on mifepristone aren’t science — they’re ideology.

Let doctors and patients lead, not politics.

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process.

Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
