My latest for @theatlantic.com looks at an important new study suggesting that ulipristal acetate could serve as a substitute for mifepristone in medication abortion. Big thanks to @rachgutman.bsky.social & @hana-kiros.bsky.social for superb edits.

Jessica Grose of the NYT is mistaken. Andrew Huberman is a physiologist of vision and an entertainer/snake oil salesman. He has no relevant expertise on vaccines.

Pete Hegseth laughs openly at Senator Slotkin when she asks him directly if he’s given troops orders to shoot unarmed protesters. Your predecessor, a Republican, had more guts and balls than you who refused to send in armed troops!

Incredibly important read. This is exactly what LAPD did to me and two other legal observers standing on a quiet street corner this past weekend—except with rubber bullets, not pepperballs, and aimed at our heads, not our feet. …oh, and the officer waved tauntingly right before shooting at us.

I'm not a politics-knower, but I guess I am kind of a words-guy and I sort of wonder why Democratic politicians who presumably employ words-folks keep responding with "that's a distraction." I don't think I'd ever say that; I might say "that's terrible, but *today* I am here to talk about XYZ."

Setting the record straight: Trump’s lawyers argue the Guard must stay under federal control to keep the peace in L.A. That’s a lie! There’s no insurrection, no chaos, no crisis California can’t handle. This is about control: flexing on LA as an example, targeting immigrants & testing the limits.

These soulless people see this as a lucrative business for “doing what they love” (his words not mine.) You know who else had that same energy? Slave catchers in the late 17th and 18th centuries.
