About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Collingwood may have been out to lunch for the last part of the season,but they are definitely showing up for Finals.
BT really enjoys calling those post siren fights.
Hello, I'm Head CBS News Person Bari Weiss. My top story tonight is that I have been silenced by cancel culture. Your TVs have been jammed and you can't change the channel. That's to prevent the Woke Left from silencing me. Our top story tomorrow will be that I am being silenced by cancel culture.
Sidebottom goal. Crows up 3.
Questionable call on Mason Cox leads to a 50 metre penalty and a Ryan Thilthorpe goal.
The intensity level has really picked up from their last meeting a few weeks ago,especially from Collingwood. The Pies owned that 1st quarter.
Terrible clearance by Darcy Moore. Leads to a Crows goal and the lead.
literal lunatics are in charge of public health right now
"I thought they were going to make me board the plane like they did with the other kids from the shelter, but they asked me for my name and told me I was not on the list." A terrifying declaration from an unaccompanied child nearly removed to Guatemala straight out of Schindler's List.

A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
This is the tactics of tinpot dictators trying to silence people who a threat to their power.
Epstein survivor Haley Robson calls out Donald Trump for referring to this story as a hoax, and demands to be humanized.
Roman Anthony is your AL Rookie of the Month for August!

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he’s also routed more than 800 of his constituents’ complaints to the agency — the most of any current lawmaker from either party, ProPublica found.
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached. The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.

Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

Despite the AP framing, President Trump didn’t say anything. Someone operating the president’s Truth Social account typed out that statement. He’s still in hiding
There are lots of commercials for casinos during baseball games (at least here in the PNW), and even with all their money, all the footage available, all the modern editing techniques, all the time in the world, they can't make a casino look like anything but an absolute cosmic horror to me.
Weird to see Bill Belichick walking on the field with three state troopers accompany him.
India & China to back Russia in its invasion of Europe, will increase trade and manufacturing to make up for current losses. Together they’ll make sanctions obsolete and provide equipment / resources needed by Russian forces. Unknown the level of intelligence & manpower either country will provide.

Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than one million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.
ESPN playing the Kirkland brand versions of classic rock songs as bumpers
Trump’s only focus right now is midterm voter suppression via illegal national voter ID mandate, redistricting in favor of more red house seats & removing ballot boxes and mail-in ballots. He’s terrified of being shellacked come 2026, and imprisoned come 2029.

What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
I don’t normally ask to hear from the president but it’d be nice to see if he can still complete a sentence
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.

Reporting on dark money is good
Not a very long path from "Why wouldn't you want the regime to deploy federal troops in your city when it reduces carjackings?" to "Why would you be opposed to the erection of internment camps for deviants when it reduces crime?" And a good chunk of mainstream media will just follow along.
What will it mean for culture when the live television band, something that has been an American institution for 70 years, goes extinct?
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
For men awaiting execution on Texas’ death row, Dungeons & Dragons became a lifeline — an escape from extreme isolating conditions, leading to the sort of friendships solitary confinement usually prevents. See their D&D character sheets, maps & more:
Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
The only US Senator I see *consistently* doing what is right and moral, irrespective of the press or the polls, is @vanhollen.senate.gov If there is someone else who has been as dogged, please share. But from my vantage point, he's the only one doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
I don’t care that Trump went golfing today. Something strange is going on—his lack of interaction with the press is simply not normal. What is the White House hiding? 🤨
Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer. Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.
