Sad- for a good life lost.
Angry- for the many good lives that will be lost far too early as a result of ignorant, careless, callous cruelty- at home and abroad.

Here is my recent review of Netherland: This is one of my favorite books of all time even though I didn't completely buy the ending. A story of an unusual friendship between the narrator and an enigmatic man.
This level of personal-corporate wealth is inconsistent with basic givens of rule of law, national sovereignty.

Governor Healey and the Democratic supermajority in the MA Legislature can be doing far, far more than they have this year to push back against Trump and show what good progressive governance looks like. MA deserves more from them in 2026.

Mass. Democrats are pushing back against the Trump administration. There’s only so much they can do. - The Boston Globe
Much of the challenge in pushing back against the Trump administration, state leaders said, is responding to an administration making changes to everything all at once.

If you think a $1000 healthcare subsidy deposited into your bank account is going to offset healthcare costs, I’ve got a bridge to sell you in a desert.

I consumed brain surgery when I was 20. My mom’s insurance company hit us with rescission (a practice finally outlawed decades later with the ACA) and for the next few years credit agencies hounded me.

The unique role Cassidy could play here is clear (although it doesn't make up for his RFK vote) but Sen Barrasso is also an MD and could step up. As a matter of fact, ANY R Senator who pays even the slightest most casual attention to health, could also step up here.
That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.
Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.
But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!
He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

Agree entirely. Important t point out that Sen Barrasso is also an MD.
Cassidy is an MD who made his name in Louisiana getting widespread HBV vaccines for children. He could have blocked RFK Jr from HHS if he had a spine. Critiquing Kennedy now is toothless unless he argues for impeachment and removal.

Agree entirely. NYT has had countless instances recently of misleading/ inaccurate framing. Framing matters! Get it right or own the criticism-NYT!
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

Wow. Just conceding in advance. Totally unacceptable.
Republicans will absolutely allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor if you go out and make them do it. They have a tiny advantage in the House. Peel them off the way Dems did on the Epstein files vote.
