Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

“It’s hard to take this data seriously. There was no data collection in Oct. and limited collection in Nov.,” Long said. “A key reason inflation cooled unexpectedly is a big easing in rent costs. That doesn’t match up with private sector data, and it doesn’t pass the 'sniff test' of reasonability.”
CPI inflation print draws caution from economists: 'It’s hard to take this data seriously'
Thursday's release of November's CPI data showed inflation had unexpectedly eased to an annual rise of 2.7% that month, but economists expressed caution as the government shutdown impacted results.

Dude, he's quite clearly dying in front of all of our eyes. His political power is almost entirely gone. He's hated by the majority of people in this country. How are you still scared of him? How are you still convinced your path forward is by following him?

ICE snatched a human rights hero.
Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices.
On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here: hrichina.substack.com/p/man-who-fi...

Ditch Spotify. #DitchSpotify
“Spotify devalues music in other ways too—for instance, by encouraging listeners to treat it as wallpaper, or by building playlists rife with agreeably bland commissioned tracks it can license at even more favorable rates.”
