The 2026 midterm elections didn't just determine who controls Congress for the next two years—they also determine whether the United States, 250 years after its founding, remains a democracy, @anneapplebaum says. She explores what citizens and lawmakers can do next to strengthen the institutions and values that have been threatened in the Trump era.

Pulling for @Pontifex, the most thoughtful and impactful moral leader on the planet today. The world, not just Catholics, need his voice, his kindness, his decency and his wisdom.
Pope Leo XIV's surgery confirmed that he has lung cancer and he had the lower lobe of his right lung removed, the Vatican said Tuesday.
The tests confirmed a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, the Vatican said in a medical bulletin after the surgery. It said the diagnosis had been suspected by preoperative tests and was confirmed during surgery.

Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. thewalrus.ca/alberta-separat…

Pope Leo XIV on AI:
The Tower of Babel represents a unity imposed through domination. At the same time, this edifice reveals that the more power seeks to oppress, the more it weakens itself, exposing its inhumane face. We see this in the suffering and injustice caused by despotism, as well as in forms of exploitation that damage both society and the environment. Today the temptation of Babel reappears in a globalization pursued without fraternity in rapacious forms of neocolonialism, in ideological impositions, and in all those contexts without bonds that reduce human life to commerce. Science itself, when reduced to a technique of power, no longer serves to elevate the human person but instead risks degrading the fruits of human endeavor.

My comments on new Covid vaccine restrictions @HPStreet and why we shouldn’t deny vaccine access to those under the age of 65. How we’re failing those who want to protect themselves vs long COVID

A flood doesn’t ask who you voted for before it sweeps your house away. Wildfire smoke doesn’t check your political affiliation before it chokes the air.
So why do we keep talking about climate change as if it belongs to one side?
In our new TIME op-ed, Dr. Dana R. Fisher — who led the research behind the Talking Climate Collaborative’s new Landscape Assessment — and I look at what climate communicators across the U.S. and Canada can teach us about connecting climate change to the things people already care about most.
The bottom line is this: Climate impacts are not partisan. And caring about our homes, health, families, and futures shouldn’t be either.

Sunday, 27 September, marks the World Day of Migrants and Refugees. My thoughts go out to migrants and refugees, especially minors compelled to leave their homeland. Children and teenagers are the most vulnerable. They often endure unspeakable suffering, violence, torture, exploitation, and traumatic conditions. It is not uncommon for them to lose their lives along migration routes. I appeal to everyone’s sense of responsibility: may we all feel a sense of involvement in the lives of these young people, who must always be protected and supported.

Hey @grok what are the ways that COVID vaccination reduces transmission of the virus - list all the mechanisms involved, and provide a modern, current best estimate of the Vaccine Effectiveness for preventing transmission?

What? I worked as hard as I could going on news outlets like @CBC @CBCNews to help Canadians understand the importance of COVID vaccinations and their safety. In the U.S. COVID vaccines saved an estimated 3.2 million American lives, extrapolating that number for Canada means that COVID vaccines likely saved 400,000 Canadian lives.

Anyone who thinks this is a normal political movement, or maybe just a spicier version of party politics, is deluding themselves. This is a cult, blind obedience brought to life.

With all the challenges facing our country, this is what the President chooses to spend his time doing today and communicating to the American people and the rest of the world. Childish. Completely childish. c-span.org/program/white-hou…
