Corruption runs deep. A fish rots from the head down.

Gene Braunwald died at 96.

In a normal world, this would be front page of the NYT and WSJ.

The father of modern cardiology.

Fled the Holocaust as a boy

Went on to save millions of lives

The most important clinician-scholar of the last 50 years. We should all know his name

The stats here are kind of remarkable. BART's new fare gates have led to a 1,000-hour decline in clean up time; 41% drop in crime; and $10 million increase in projected revenue. https://t.co/bQMIcgUPal

$760M short on oil. Placed 20 minutes before the Hormuz announcement.
This is the 3rd time.
March 23: $500M short — 15 minutes before Trump delayed Iran strikes. Oil dropped 15%.
April 7: $950M short — hours before the US-Iran ceasefire.
April 17: $760M short — 20 minutes before Hormuz declared open.
The CFTC is investigating.

The ‘peace trade’ was sold to retail. Someone else got out first.
Who knew?

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.

FLASHBACK — CHARLIE KIRK: “We are just gonna take out the ayatollah? Oh really? What comes next? What happens after regime change? Might be we just need a small number of troops… we have seen this play before. With regime change you have no idea how this is gonna work out.”

JD Vance in 2024: " Our interest, I think, very much is in not going to war with Iran.  It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country."

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

War with Iran would make the Iraq War look like a cakewalk.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

How about some new sanctions on Russia instead of on Minnesota?

[Kevin Van Valkenburg @KVanValkenburg]

The mostly-unsaid part of all these AI dudes who keep ripping off IP and saying "Look I made a movie, you're so cooked!" is that they have no stories. They've felt left out of creative stuff because they aren't creative. But technical brilliance without any soul is just pixels.

[Ryan Dolan @ryanwdolan]

@JohnHuber72 Meets the definition of charlatan almost perfectly.

[Tim Scott @votetimscott]

Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.

@brittrobson Best take this year.

@Spotify your weird autoplay on the podcast page is one of the worst user experiences I’ve ever had. I don’t want to be forced to listen to what your algo thinks I want to listen to before I decide.
Can’t believe you rolled this out.

@RahmEmanuel Add Chaos. We're all so tired of the chaos.

[Steve Peoples @sppeoples]

ICE agents initially claimed Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man’s 31-year-old’s brain. ... A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain.

Mondragón entered the U.S. in 2022 with valid immigration documents. Minnesota incorporation filings show he founded a company called Castaneda Construction the following year with an address listed in St. Paul. He appears to have no criminal record.

@GOPMajorityWhip @POTUS @AGPamBondi Oh really? What happened to all of these Trump loving cop beating thugs?

Oh that’s right. Trump pardoned them.

@OfMikeAndMen The ones I know are the parents of my kids friends: little league coaches, piano teachers, nurses etc.

You should come to Minneapolis and see and hear for yourself.

As usual, the wife is right.
