This was the grounds around the Afghani president's residence in 2002. Those miniature mountain animals were there for the president to remember home. That monstrous one with horns had to head butt my legs constantly - formed a few bruises. The two groundkeepers laughed and laughed.

Drug prices are rising—again.
Meanwhile, Big Pharma is pushing Congress to give them even more power to set sky-high prices. We cannot let that happen.

Plenty of people in history have had bad governments. It must’ve seemed like the end of the world to them too. We find ourselves where we find ourselves and just need to put our shoulders into it.

I was really cynical about the ABA my entire career. So imagine my surprise reading that this bunch of money-grubbing corporate tools have risen up to preserve the "rule of law" and fight the kleptocracy! It's like Scrooge showing up with a turkey in "Christmas Carol"

GITMO preceded Trumpism but shares one of its central themes: there should be people outside the law, people with no rights anybody is bound to respect. That accompanies belief that there should also be people with rights superior to all others, people not bound by any law.
Glad to see that the judge acted so quickly on this. Based on NYT reports that the Trump Admin hasn't revealed the identities of who has been sent to Gitmo so far, it may be functionally impossible for people on the island to obtain a meaningful review.

Here’s my view:
I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a young kid’s ability to fire career civil servants and take control of the nation’s finances.

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.
