I know it's water under the bridge, but Americans choosing Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton will go down as one of our country's greatest mistakes. The only bigger mistake was electing him again. Yes, the 2016 election was dirty with Comey releasing info right before the election and Russian collusion and interference. That being said, we did it again! The utter stupidity is jaw dropping.

Stop a statin and your LDL cholesterol rises 30% in four days. Nobody writes a WSJ feature about it. Stop certain blood pressure medications and your BP can spike within hours. Nobody calls it a design flaw.

Levothyroxine, antidepressants, insulin, metformin, antihistamines. Chronic treatments for chronic conditions, and all of them stop working when you stop taking them. None of them generate think-pieces questioning whether patients should have started.

The AMA classified obesity as a disease in 2013. Thirteen years later, it’s still the only chronic condition where “you have to take it forever” is framed as an argument against treatment rather than a description of how medicine works.

This story details the enormous damage Iran inflicted on US military installations in the Middle East. But incredibly the Post had to rely on IRANIAN IMAGERY to report it out because Trump is blocking commercial satellite images. Why? Not to fool Iran - just American citizens.

@christoaivalis M,

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

Yes indeed. On the one hand, Trump has torn up a trade agreement he signed, slapped tariffs on random Canadian industries, and threatened to annex the country, using “economic force.” On the other hand, Carney has … tried to lessen our dependence on trade with the country threatening to annex us. Classic both-sidesism.

Free automatic tax filling is good. You can still do your own return anyway

Get out of here with these dumbass conspiracy theories. Very unserious from you.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Hey, @GregAbbott_TX.

Texas’ homicide rate is 39% higher than California’s.

Call home your National Guard and deal with your crime epidemic.

[Governor Hochul Press Office @NYGovPress]

TEXAS’ TOTAL CRIME RATE IS 20.5% HIGHER THAN NEW YORK’S.

IN CASE YOU’RE CONFUSED, THAT MEANS IT’S WORSE.

The Republican playbook of getting into office, transferring an insane amount of wealth to rich people, and then blaming them next administration for the debt and income inequality is so incredible because it just keeps working

[SaucySeaWitch🇨🇦 @saucyseawitch]

When Pierre Poilievre suggested the Bank of Canada should be investing in cryptocurrency and then crypto value plummeted two days later. Which is when the guy in Argentina lost a bunch of money for that country.

1/10 The US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities is an unprecedented event that may prove to be transformational for Iran, the Middle East, US foreign policy, global non-proliferation, and potentially even the global order. Its impact will be measured for decades to come. 🧵

I worry that AI will make most people intellectually sedentary

When we no longer had to do as much manual labor thanks to new technology, we became more sedentary and baseline fitness declined

At the same time, a minority of people got fitter than ever because they exercised with intention, for status or self-care

AI could create a world where most people become intellectually slovenly, while the privileged or determined few give themselves mental superpowers

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

🚨HOLY MOTHER🚨

The Ways & Means draft would cut taxes by $5.3 TRILLION if made permanent -- $6.3 trillion worth of tax cuts and $1 trillion of offsets.

Even counting all the expiration, it would add $3.8 trillion to the deficit after offsets.

[Gaga Crave 🌷 @AMENARTPOP]

THIS IS TAKING ME OUT SO BAD IM CRYING 😭😭😭

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

This is indeed what change is.
BC is dropping 2nd road test for new drivers, as ICBC faces massive backlog on testing.
Instead, after 2 yrs with an N, you just get full license (w/ a restriction you can't get caught with drugs, alcohol or electronic devices for 1 yr or lose it)

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

I get that there’s zero political upside in talking about PEPFAR, voters hate foreign aid, etc, but letting a million people die to save pennies is so evil I have to say *something*
