Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.
“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”

On Tuesday Kevin Hassett said "we'll probably see a few more trade deals, a few more [trade] deals even this week," and "there's some stuff very close to being finished, and it's up to the President."
It's Sunday, and the score card says he got to zero.

This is the interview in which I learned that as hard as I try to make sure that the words I say are entirely analytic, sometimes my facial expressions betray a deeper sense of what I also feel.

This whole thing was a deliberate set-up, and the real audience for it was not the American people. It was the global fascist movement.
No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.
