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.

"The Post-UMD poll found a majority of Americans believe the events of Jan. 6 were an attack on democracy and should never be forgotten." https://t.co/I8HUJdD62a
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"

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
🧵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 👇)

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.

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"
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
