Crockett, Mace get into heated exchange over trans rights: ‘If you want to take it outside’
Reps. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) got into a heated exchange during a Tuesday Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing and discussion about civil rights and transgender…
thehill.com
Three takeaways
1) Jasmine Crockett continues to be a goddamn hero
2) Nancy Mace has never had any black women as friends, (none who spoke to her frankly)
3) Nancy Mace showed us that a harmless colloquialism can push her buttons to the point of disregulated behavior

He's NOT in science. He's on top of it taking a giant crap.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

I sincerely hope nobody actually goes to see this expecting a love story rather than a tale of obsession, abuse, and a deeply destructive folie à deux.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Great example. I’ve often heard people say they believe medieval people discouraged or punished female literacy, whereas Mary is usually shown reading during the Annunciation, so every medieval person constantly saw images of the #1 female role model reading. The anti-learning Middle Ages is a myth.

"We are so much more hardcore than they are". For real? Who talks like that? He probably says "rue the day" unironically as well.

I’m not a journalist or campaign finance guy to start digging this stuff up, but at this point I’d be pretty surprised if he hadn’t been actively recruited for the race by some MAGA-aligned org and had his first ad funded and produced by the same. He didn’t self-fund that slick production.

University of Arizona president has declined Trump's compact — and sent back an alternative "statement of principles" outlining the u's current policies on international enrollment, academic freedom, admissions etc.

Stephanie Lepp suggested on TED stage a compromise to culture war topic of "gender" to have kids develop healthier body image from less social media, so that the social contagion could stop, and that doctors should stop profiting off the trans phenomenon so society could support the "truly trans".

I suspect even if you as a voter hate trans people, the fact that someone like Kamala Harris has so perceptibly turned the transphobia knob back and forth while looking to the audience for approval, showing she does not actually believe in anything, is way more offputting than the supposed wokeness
Kamala Harris on trans athletes: “I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and unfair student athletic advantage when we determine who plays on which teams, especially in contact sports,” Harris writes.
Kamala Harris cites concerns about trans athletes in her book
The Trump campaign attacked Harris over her positions on transgender rights. She says they were misconstrued.
