What an incredible battle in the 800m at New Balance Nationals. Natalie Dumas, a junior from NJ who already won the 400mH and 400m at this meet, holds off Emmry Ross to win, 2:00.11 to 2:00.25. They're now fifth and sixth on the U.S. all-time HS list. Sadie Engelhardt took third in 2:02.50.

Millions across the US are under a sweltering heat wave. And for those behind bars, this is especially deadly. Prisons are not equipped to handle these environmental emergencies – which will only get worse because of climate change. www.cbsnews.com/news/heat-wa...

Brian Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony. He was also the visionary leader of America’s greatest band, The Beach Boys. If there’d been no Beach Boys, there would have been no “Racing In The Street.”

RIP, Brian Wilson.

For @thebaltimorebanner.com, I'm writing stories for federal workers and anyone else facing job uncertainty right now. Here's one on avoiding employment scams, which use fake job postings to extract money and personal info from job seekers. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/economy/ripp...

It's a multiple failure of editing; first of the editor in "assigning" the piece to "AI," and second in not knowing enough about what they've "assigned" to understand that the output is bullshit. In a different era, this would have gotten someone fired.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

The existence of Sam Altman implies the existence of Sam Ctrlman and Sam Deleteman.

“This is America." Stephanie Horowitz, a student who survived one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida seven years ago, was among those hiding from an active shooter at Florida State University Thursday.

It's Friday... And on Fridays we dance 💃🕺 📽️themoringbunch

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

My dentist said my teeth were stained. He asked, "Do you smoke or drink coffee?". I said, "I drink it".

Did you know that when Jackie Robinson retired after the 1956 season, three MLB teams still had not integrated? The Phillies, Tigers and Red Sox did not integrate until 1957, '58, and '59, respectively. April 15 1947 was the beginning, not the end, of racial reconciliation in MLB. #JackieRobinsonDay

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

A second unvaccinated school-aged child in West Texas died from a measles. 🤬🤬🤬

This is so sickening. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In the "personal news" department, this morning I let my colleagues know that I'm leaving The Washington Post. I'm retiring from my longtime journalistic home but not from journalism, and I'll keep you posted as I decide what my next chapter will be.

NEW: Measles has now spread to Washington, D.C. with at least one confirmed case health officials are warning is particularly alarming. This newly detected case of measles involves an individual who visited multiple public locations in the nation’s capital — while contagious. Health officials…

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Rest In Peace Roberta Flack

Why does @politico.com need to know my employer in order for me to read their articles?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
