1/ Steve’s post takes one real number and attaches two conclusions the evidence does not support.

The Crépeaux paper is a narrative commentary. It presents no new cohort, no individual-level reanalysis and no systematic-review methodology. It raises some legitimate concerns about the Danish study—but it does not demonstrate that aluminum adjuvants caused harm or “explode” the broader safety evidence.

Do you want to know why wealth inequality is like a runaway train in the US, look no further than the new Trump accounts for kids.

On the surface, what’s not to like, but dig a little deeper and you see it’s just another tax shelter for the wealthy.

It’s a ‘give the poor a penny, so the rich can grab a thousand dollars’

NEJM: 1 in 38 patients in US hospitals are infected as a result of their medical care.

Most hospital-acquired infections are not from a specific device or procedure.

Perhaps, laissez faire masking policies are woefully inadequate? 😷

“It is not a correct statement — we have not done any forums on stage together… she’s not a good debater, that’s why she doesn’t want to do this…”

@MarshaBlackburn again called out for LYING that there were forums in the GOP primary, as she takes Republican voters for granted.

So this is wild if it holds up. A senior Iranian official told Drop Site that Tehran ran the numbers and figures people in Trump’s orbit — they name Kushner and Witkoff specifically — made around $9 billion trading on inside knowledge from the nuclear talks. Iran’s response? They formally asked for half of it, $4.5 billion, routed to them through intermediaries. And they made a point of noting the text messages will end up in the historical record someday.

It gets stranger. During the Switzerland round, Iran reportedly sent Vance a private message warning that Kushner and Witkoff seemed to care more about cashing in on the negotiations than actually closing a deal.

The Iranians also flagged that whatever they said at the table was apparently going straight to Netanyahu — per the official, Kushner and Witkoff are in near-daily contact with him and the Mossad chief.

Worth stressing all of this comes from one Iranian official talking to Drop Site, so grain of salt. But if even part of it is documented, it’s a serious story.

New reporting reveals the Trump administration moved original copies of the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment into defective storage cases, exposing the rare documents to harsh light and heat.

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

It’s may seem silly and trollish to have to ask the question and yet to watch this Trump nominee sit there and be so obviously afraid of answering is alarming and should be a bigger deal than it will be seen as. He was willing to admit Trump pardoned a convicted drug kingpin, but he couldn’t admit Trump lost the 2020 election. This is the damage Trump has done to our politics and this guy is supposed to be trusted with American intelligence? And yet, he might be an upgrade from the previous occupant in this office.

These hero dogs chased off a man who tried to sexually assault two female dog walkers. They were able to push him away, and then their pack of 11 rescue dogs ran him off into a tunnel and ripped off a piece of his pants. The dogs are all getting our highest honor, a 15/10

This is why Trump HATES @ossoff: He’s too good at this.

OSSOFF: Did the President pardon a man who worked with the Sinaloa Cartel to facilitate massive narco trafficking into the US?

CLAYTON: Word Salad… He was a convicted narco trafficker.

OSSOFF: Did the President of the United States pardon a convicted narco trafficker?

CLAYTON: Yes.
