In response, RFK Jr., the nation's top public health official, has been SILENT

But it's much worse than that. RFK Jr. and his allies are undermining confidence in the vaccine

Increasingly GOP party actors like Indiana legislators are balking. When they do — whether motivated by principle, self-interest, or spite — it’s not (just) Democrats who benefit. It’s the entire country and the Constitution.

The Indiana GOP's defiance shows how Trump is losing juice
His unpopularity is increasing and his threats are starting to ring hollow.

“The King of Monsters meets the King in Black in a rampage across the cosmos!”

I get using your most marketable character to help sell comics, but I feel like the Invisible Woman and Human Torch could been swapped out to add more cosmic themed heroes alongside Star-Lord and Rocket.

Things out there are cruel and terrible, but here, have a kitty responding to the sound of the lid on his treat cup.

Thank you for all the good wishes, friends. It's uncomfortably cold in Iowa right now, but all your cuddles, treats, and scritches have been delivered and received with joy.

Rob Reiner, at worst, should have won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At best, he should have received an honorary Oscar.

It's possible he turned it down multiple times, but this should be rectified.

I know "Die Hard" is y'all's favorite Christmas movie but there's another film that has a lot of elements of "Die Hard" PLUS a much more involved Christmas message and musings on the "invisibility" of homelessness. This Christmas, check out "Tokyo Godfathers."

Of course, if economic and social life collapsed, the process might go into reverse, and birth rates could be expected to rise again. But is that really what you want?
For my part, I’m heartily sick of people who think collapse is the answer to anything.
