Big shoutouts to advancement in IUD insertion pain management. I’d been terrified of the stories I heard about how painful it is. Now that sedation is an option, I got mine yesterday and have no recollection of pain during the procedure. Super grateful.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

@booker.senate.gov says plainly that he's doing this because he was challenged by his constituents to rise to the moment. Our calls and emails and faxes and protests, they can all matter.

expect a lot of Democrats to announce they’re doing stuff they should have been doing all along (second best time to plant a tree etc again) in the next few days - why? Because they just watched Booker energize the electorate in phenomenal fashion, and they are jealous, and that is good

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.
