Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker plans to sign an executive order preventing state agencies from obtaining or disclosing data that personally identifies people with autism, unless required for medical care or legal matters. “Every Illinoisan deserves ... the freedom to live without fear of surveillance.”

NIH's work saves lives—& Trump is gutting it. Straight from D.C. I headed to Seattle Children's to hear from researchers & patients alike about the importance of NIH funding—it's not just about lines in a budget, it's about lifesaving discoveries. We ALL need to speak up to save it.

The Not Like Us stuff was entertaining and hilarious, but the overarching protest storyline was perfect. Kendrick is a genius and Samuel L Jackson is a legend. The only halftime show I’ve ever see that I rewatched.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I love that folks were like “will he play the song???”. Yeah… with Serena Williams dancing, an a minor chain on, and the world’s biggest grin as he stares into the camera. A masterpiece.

Before ending tonight’s Juan Soto watch, I’d like to say signing for the NYM would surprise me. Why take 750M from the NYM > 730M from NYY, he’ll make so much more other money w/NYY. Plus Judge’s protection in the lineup is invaluable. He’s smart & wanted high bids, but Yankee in the morning.
