NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.

With prompt and appropriate medical care, experts say, people shouldn’t die from an ectopic pregnancy. Women in Texas and Oklahoma have sued over delays in care, which, coupled with our new analysis, ...

A gas station in Kharkiv hangs plastic strip curtains from the pump canopy as anti-drone protection. Cars drive through them like a warehouse entrance. The idea is to detangle or prematurely detonate low-flying FPV drones before they hit the pumps.

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya defends measles on Fox News and condemns Gov. Shapiro for "playing this out over the airwaves for political purposes, just like what happened during covid. And this is why there's such deep distrust in public health."

Tesla's Cybercab manual for emergency responders instructs them to push the 3,113-pound vehicle with no steering wheel if it gets stuck. If EMS can't contact Tesla by phone, they provide an email, but warn it's not monitored for emergencies. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Tesla says first responders may need to push new Cybercab with no steering wheel

Tesla’s emergency guidance tells first responders the robotaxi “can be quickly pushed” to clear a lane, but warns that doing it incorrectly risks overheating the motor and electric shock.

i have genuinely lost count of the number of republican public officials in jail or under indictment is that a good thing

Former KY Gov. Matt Bevin (R) has been ordered to serve 60 days in jail after an outstanding warrant over unpaid child support led to his arrest on a movie set on Thursday. “He has over and over again demonstrated a complete disregard and utter disrespect for this court,” Judge Angela Johnson said.

Today a preeminent climate scientist said that building a bike lane in Berkeley California is bad because not everyone can bike to get groceries. The US climate movement has a cars blindspot, and it's why we aren't making progress the way other countries are.

i’m not someone who thinks the US has some divine right to our power or deserves it in any way, but it’s still enraging to watch people piss it away instead of try to use it for good

Germany had already quietly withdrawn its gold before the Netherlands did. Why? It's perfectly obvious. Take a look at Trump. Take a look at Bessent. Ask yourself if you would entrust these people with your family silver? www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

Colin Kapernick was the first time i noticed the phenomenon of a widespread narrative about a person without ever actually having heard them speak. once you notice it you can’t unsee it- there are gagillions if content platforms out there, it shouldn’t be that hard for me to find a clip of someone!

NEW in Ragebait: I spoke to Hasan Piker about why cable news won't talk to him, even though they talk about him nonstop. He let me know whose shows he wants to go on. "Jake Tapper. Dana Bash would be spectacular...and on the Fox News end, Jesse Watters. Sean Hannity." zeteo.com/p/why-wont-m...

i say this with love but i remember the CBS Scott MacFarlane as the most average, milquetoast reporter among a network of them. But the freed Scott MacFarlane is a stone cold assassin and i’m here for it. we need more reporting that feels aggressive without being politically calculated

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 7d ago

MacFarlane: They have been trying to marginalize James Talarico, the democratic nominee, by making this juvenile locker room argument that he's like low T. Talarico is the one accepting the debate invitations. I don't see where Ken Paxton is. That seems to be low T.

i guess Millers point about Rogers is a fair one, but do we really need to be comparing Piker to *Laura Loomer* to win this argument?? nothing he’s said remotely resembles this. most of his positions are the median americans and yet we have to pretend otherwise to fend off attacks?

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · last wk.

No. Instead we get 42 segments on some inconsequential social media influencer named Piker (whom Loomer also tried to have deported).

The Trump administration has deported thousands of immigrants to countries where they have no ties. Dozens were on a flight to the Central African Republic on Friday, including a 24-year-old Afghan whose family members worked alongside U.S. forces.

It’s a point that has been made before: These people are here without authorization only because the administration revoked it. It is as if Trump were somehow to strip citizenship from every Democrat.

Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · 2w ago

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks. “They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.
