Betting is so unregulated & growing so fast in the US that it's creating a growing population of problem gamblers—Researchers at the New York Fed looked at millions of credit reports to show that debt delinquency jumps in states that legalized sports betting (and their neighbors)

I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.

When the NYT published a story questioning Sec. Kennedy's engagement - including the time he spends at #HHS - he angrily retorted that anyone curious about how much time he spends in the office could consult his online calendar.

If Chief had pending charges/complaints open & were being investigated, with O'Hara's resignation that data are public per law. People should ask about existence & status of any complaints and charges against Chief. That will tell you if there were any open investigations

Herricht & Preil war das populärste Komikerduo in der #DDR, bestehend aus Rolf Herricht (1927–1981) und Hans-Joachim Preil (1923–1999). Preil spielte dabei den oberlehrerhaften Neunmalklugen; Herricht übernahm den naiv-bauernschlauen Part.

@NortonMpls Platt has not gotten over the trauma from when Figlio's in Uptown closed.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Let me make something clear to the "Dana Bashes" out there, saying that Democrats need to turn down the temperature:

FUCK YOU. The example gets set at the top. So, when he tweets that he's glad that Robert Mueller died,

When he calls Democrats a threat to democracy...

When he accuses Democrats of cheating without evidence...

Who exactly is calling on HIM to turn down the temperature? Last time I checked, the people with a large platform that he listens to is THE MEDIA.

So, do YOUR job, Dana.

Hold power accountable. After all, we're not the ones threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Experts are saying it: SUVs damage our roads more than ordinary passenger cars.

I’ve asked @TfL to look into the effect of supersized SUVs in London as more of these vehicles take up space on London’s roads.
