Around 6pm #OTD during the #WarsawUprising German troops entered St. Lazarus Hospital in Wola. Inside were the sick and wounded, about 150 hospital staff with their families, five doctors, a scout nursing team of 15, dozens of captured German soldiers being treated, and roughly 300 other patients.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

Great point about Haley Steven’s desperate and dangerous closing message:
one of the Sisyphean goals of my life is trying to convince somebody, anybody, to make a serious attempt to roughly quantify whether police in the US cause more deaths than they prevent
Ah well what's the torturous needless preventable deaths of thousands of people a year when a stolen car is now pancaked into a tree
One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin
New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...
So CBS and others invested in a pro trump audience that won’t arrive, alienating their actual audience, and trump propagandists are losing audience bc people are souring on Trump. Also helps explain the increased racist shrieking as they try to farm engagement www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to think SSRI overprescription is rampant—but this misconception ignores a more urgent crisis in psychiatry, Richard Friedman argues:

Fed chief Warsh faces hard choice on inflation after bond market's 'red flag'
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's emphatic declarations on Wednesday that inflation would be brought down without signaling a readiness to raise interest rates triggered a sharp selloff in bonds that may force a hard choice: defying President Donald Trump's desire for easier monetary policy or battling a growing cadre of fellow U.S. central bankers determined to tighten it.

if an elite lobbying effort can convince you that you have to ban trans people from sports to survive in politics you straightforwardly do not have it in you to pass electoral reform, or stand up to the fossil fuel lobby, or do any of the difficult things that have to be done
Gregg Jarrett appeared to forget his own legal opinion about a president's use of an autopen to sign pardons. He said it as perfectly legal in March 2025. This week he said that the pardon Biden signed for Fauci could be challenged because he might have used an autopen.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion alleging its documentary caused him harm to his reputation and brand. So the BBC said, “We want to test that. Show us your finances.” And a magistrate judge agreed. My write-up on how Trump got himself into this pickle, in the comments.
