Sheriff Swank is wrong. Washington's Constitution and law are clear. County prosecutors are their county's legal counsel. Only they can appoint a special deputy. However, this quote effectively highlights the source of the real problem. www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/a...

This thread is terrific. While the court’s ruling on tariffs is important, there's a lot of nuance to it.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

RFK Jr. wants to bar government scientists from publishing in NEJM? Interesting, given that his sidekicks Makary and Prasad published there last week. (An article laundering RFK Jr.'s "gold standard science" rhetoric as a way to restrict vaccine availability, no less.)

As pessimistic about our own stability and future as I am, Europe has a very long way to go. I don't see it happening without fiscal union, and while they're building on defense needs, they still live in a more volalitle neighborhood.

Utilizing our comparative advantage to produce high-value finished goods and offshoring low-wage work to poorer countries. Great idea! If only there were a way to set that up.

Fellas, you don't need this to learn how to be a man. There are two rules, everything else is a choose your adventure: 1) Be good to other people. 2) Own a pocket knife. Follow these rules and you'll be greeted into Heaven as a brother.

According to a comment on a r/SoundersFC post from a pleased First Match Free participant: Another first timer caught the jersey, and Rusnak returned after the whistle to give them his shirt again. Seems like the program is going well “creating special moments” for fans.

Looking forward to reading this. Flawed, but brilliant guy. Although I avoid cable news, whenever his daughter brought him on Morning Joe, I made sure to check it out. Mostly because there was a good chance of him mocking Scarborough to his face. 😂

"Security committee members [of the Judicial Conference, a policymaking body for the federal judiciary] worried that Trump could order the marshals to stand down in retaliation for a decision that didn’t go his way." A real statement about the President in 2025. Why democracy is in grave danger.
