The dumbest asshole in the country and the President need to be two different people moving forward
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

This is a terrific piece of journalism in Bloomberg
It notes that mainstream virologists & the peer reviewed research evidence itself points to zoonotic origins
Lab leak is pushed by “Donald Trump and a motley crew of contrarian academics, freethinking podcasters and conservative media outlets”

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time.
This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable.
The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

“Some patients cried when they saw her, said Guy Vandenberg, a health care worker … After she met with patients, he said, Taylor sat with the handful of staffers in their tiny kitchen and asked them how they were taking care of themselves. ‘How do you support each other?’ she wanted to know.”
Elizabeth Taylor was always a real one, including privately visiting AIDS hospices to comfort dying people. “She asked them if she could arrange to have their dogs walked; she asked if she could call their mothers for them or write letters for them.” www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

Fox made sure to note that there's a sizable population of immigrants from Cape Verde in Rhode Island and, honestly, I'd love to see that for each match.
