Truth ringing out through the ages
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Average citizens have show much greater courage against the Trump regime than law firms, the news media, universities, the judicial system and the leaders of the Democratic Party.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I have routinely written letters to support parents staying in the country regardless of visa status in this situation as a physician who cares for sick children.

This father previously had applied for and received permission to stay in the country for his sick child.
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

The murder and now the cover up.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Hanukkah is a modest holiday.

But I value it

I tell my kids light offers hope amid discouragement

and illuminates possible paths when the way seems obscured

All the more important after a heartbreaking weekend

the lights offer the possibility of light in days ahead

This confirms what I have felt for a long time as a lifelong New Englander. Not only is the weather different from my childhood, it’s changed since I moved back to Connecticut 13 years ago.
“The breakneck speed of New England’s transformation makes it the fastest-heating area of the US, bar the Alaskan Arctic, and the pace of its temperature rise has apparently increased in the past five years.” [theguardian.com]

Holiday travel sleep truth: most of what you're worrying about doesn't matter.

I'm a pediatric sleep physician. Last week I asked parents what they're stressing about for Thanksgiving travel.

60+ responses. Every single fear answered.

Here's what actually matters (thread) 🧵

Most nap transitions aren’t smooth — they’re messy, inconsistent, and easy to misread. In this week’s episode of The Sleep Edit, we explain how to spot the real signs your child is ready to drop a nap, how to manage the schedule shift, and why total 24-h sleep matters more than rigid wake windows.

Lately I have upped my game by telling kids that I will see them in 6 or 7 months.

Guys, this joke is KILLING today

Why do some kids drop naps early while others cling to them for years?

One theory ties nap transitions to brain development — specifically, how the hippocampus handles memory.

Parents on my viral post shared everything from daycare nap woes to “my kid dropped naps at 2 and remembers everything.”

When we “fall back,” don’t waste the gift of an extra hour. Go to bed one hour earlier, wake up at your usual time, and keep the new schedule. That simple shift gives you an extra hour of sleep every night through fall and winter. #SleepTips #DaylightSavingTime

The clocks go back, and suddenly your toddler's up at 5 A.M.
Go to bed later, keep mornings dark, and stay consistent.
Most kids adjust in 3--5 days -- and you can thank Big Candy 🍬 and Big Golf ⛳ for the chaos.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:
