Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Pope Francis was by far the best most consequential pope in my lifetime, at least since John XXIII whom I barely remember. Francis was knowledgeable about science, cared about the planet, and was concerned more about people than dogma. We will miss his clear urgent gentle and compassionate voice.

They’ll look around and say, “What’s this weird dangling wire?”
