Here's a quick 🧵 on the @nbcwashington debate between @kenyanmcduffie and @Janeese4DC, likely the last face-to-face debate before the June 16 D.C. primary.

In short: It was spicy.

A Texas medical school has dissected, studied and leased out the bodies of hundreds of poor people without consent.

In response to our findings, the University of North Texas suspended its body donation program and fired its leaders.

Rapper Lil Jon introduced Georgia to cast its delegates' 121 votes for Harris.

"VP Harris to the Walz," Lil Jon sang, spoofing his song "Get Low." https://t.co/mZcJNrVBav

An excellent look at where we are, three years later.

Which is to say, we are in the same place we were three years ago.

OK, so remember the "flu shot cheerleader" — a 2009 media sensation/meme for a story that a vaccine triggered her strange disability. I reported the story out – and she has a warning about the anti-vaccine movement that made her its poster girl:

"Run"

How did “woke” go from Marcus Garvey to Childish Gambino to Ron DeSantis?

A sickening and difficult — but important — read from ⁦@paulschwartzman⁩ and ⁦@emmersbrown⁩, who spoke with one of the women who alleges sexual harassment by Mayor Bowser’s former chief of staff https://t.co/bWeaYlYSlB

"I told him, ‘You made my daughter your prey and now you are mine.’"

Unique Harris' mother grinned and whooped with joy after a jury found Isaac Moye guilty of killing the D.C. mother of two. https://t.co/sgc95qny5e

Man. When a poet writes an essay! This is ridiculously beautiful and interesting, on politics and fatherhood and self-expression and safety and self-defense

[Jen Balderama @jenduende]

🧵Father’s Day content!: Loved working with Jaswinder Bolina @univmiami @CopperCanyonPrs on this searching, ingenious @PostOpinions essay about the common ground to be found between him—a liberal—and a dad in a Buck Fiden hat. (Non-paywalled link 👇)

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions.

Tori Bowie’s death at just 32 years old stunned fans and fellow athletes. She died from complications of childbirth — an issue that disproportionately impacts women of color.

@AHylton26 reports.

NEW @NBCNews: Before dying of pregnancy complications, Olympian Tori Bowie was excited to become a mom

@echuckles & I spoke w/ her agent + former coach about her approach to pregnancy, her "sparkling personality" & the work ethic that helped her win gold

I love listening to Nightly as a writer. How do absolute pros tell the biggest stories of the day?

@jdbalart @LesterHoltNBC @tvkatesnow @craigmelvin @hodakotb @TODAYshow A musical moment from @GadiNBC as he reflects on #NightlyNews75 — “It’s magic.”

We love your rendition of our theme, Gadi!

My mind is all over camel mode this week. "Your standards for what constitutes a fun time dip to historic lows. When a co-worker idly asks if you 'had a fun summer' or 'enjoyed the long weekend,' you may feel a tug of awareness that you have no idea what they mean by that"

[Katherine Goldstein @KGeee]

i loved @KJezerMorton's piece on the "camel mode" of parenting self sacrifice I wrote a whole newsletter about it

[Andrea Swalec @andreaswalec]

This episode of the @SlatePodcasts The Waves is so good and every single episode by @Cheyna_R is so good and I just want to shout it from the mountaintops. There's so much packed in here about health research and why language matters and why more women don't stay in STEM
