My wife Erin has COVID. Paxlovid helped, but she is now in a rebound. Yesterday she lost her sense of smell. It was like a switch: she went from smelling to zero smell, then, 15 minutes later, normal, then this morning, “flickering”, and now muted. Is this consistent with how others experience this?

This kind of libelous incitement is basically unremarkable now for Republican elected officials. Even msm press treats it as normal.
Rep. Michael Rulli: "The Democratic Party... your rhetoric needs to be toned down... when Joe Biden was in office, we listened, we watched, and we spoke, but we spoke fluently and we didn't speak with this hate... you tried to kill our president twice. You actually killed Charlie. Enough is enough."

Look, I really like the song Golden, from K-Pop Demon Hunters. I like it a whole lot. I don't know that I needed to hear it three times in one short trip to H-Mart, out of the five songs they played; the other two were, of course, other songs from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Arresting firefighters putting their lives on the line to protect our communities doesn't make us safer. This evil stunt is putting families in harm's way just so Donald Trump can score a Fox News hit.

This is not offering the sort of reassurance that I had hoped it would. That is a lot of term left.

Trump desperately wants reporters to stop talking about Epstein and instead pivot to things like Coke with real cane sugar. With that in mind, here is our Times taste test of Coke with real cane sugar.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

I spent the last 2 days on Capitol Hill with @gamaofficial.bsky.social and @ttgda.bsky.social, asking for tariff relief. Sixteen of us collectively had dozens of meetings and drop-bys with Congressional staff. We heard over & over that it makes a difference to hear from their constituents. 1/ 🧵
