Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

One good thing: seeing so many abled folks angry on behalf of disabled and chronically ill people. Not just angry for themselves. Specifically speaking out for us.

i don't say things like this often, as i find them hyperbolic to the point of extreme dilution, so please believe me when I say this is the most severe, graceful dissection of Musk I've seen. Swift, effortlessly deep, like piano wire through tofu. If someone spoke of me like this I’d be abed a week

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
