I got nothing.

Ok the podcast Not Dead Yet is pretty fantastic. @ChrisStirewalt and @BenSasse do a fantastic job interviewing each guest. And the guests are great! The latest episode, starring @prattprattpratt is so good. I highly recommend you give the Pod a listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not…

@thedispatch Thank you, Dispatchers!

@KevinCStx Thanks so much for your support, Kevin!

Woke up to the email that my annual sub to @thedispatch renewed! It’s the best $$ I spend all year, and I’m proud to be a member.

Another great patriot.

Tom Nichols spent months reading Washington’s letters and walking the halls at Mount Vernon. The article is long. The argument lands in one sentence he almost buries at the end. “Washington personally took up arms to stop a rebellion against the United States. Trump encouraged one.” The specifics behind that sentence: In 1794, armed farmers in western Pennsylvania refused to accept federal law. Washington issued a proclamation calling it treasonable opposition, raised a militia of more than 12,000 men, and personally led them toward the rebellion. He was the only sitting president ever to lead troops in the field. The rebellion dissolved. He pardoned two convicted insurgents after the legal process completed — not before. In his Farewell Address, Washington warned the republic that “sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction” would manipulate public emotion for “his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.” He wrote that sentence in 1796. He could not name the man. Nichols named him. John Kelly stood at Mount Vernon two years ago and summarized Washington’s greatest contribution to American democracy in three words. “He went home.” Every president since has understood that sentence. Every president but one.

@DavidAFrench Same!

I can’t wait for this mission.

Wow, what a shame. The story of this case is incredible.

Pay attention to what's happening on campus. The kids are not alright. "[W]hat may appear today as juvenile behavior should not be dismissed so easily. The cultural norms that take root within youth political organizations often become the habits and assumptions later carried into positions of real political influence within the governing class." thedispatch.com/article/right-…

Why not? Why shouldn’t they get in on the grift?

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

This might be the most fitting description I’ve seen of the current GOP, also my former party.

@JohnDalyBooks @BernardGoldberg My favorite part is how many Democrats are on the list.

He had the gall to run against Trump in 2024. It's really that simple.

Give me a break…

@3YearLetterman @cfriendtweet @BTS_jp_official @CurtisLemay The Thai Orange Chicken is the best.

I do not like much about Japan, but Panda Express (“Speedy Bear” in English) is an incredible Japanese dining experience

You just could have named it CornHub

Nico Hoerner’s deal with the Cubs is done and will be for six years and $141 million, sources tell ESPN. It’s the fourth-largest contract ever for a second baseman and locks up the 28-year-old into the 2030s. Defense, running, contact skill — Hoerner does everything well.

I will never stop laughing at the fact he’s so proud that he passed a rudimentary test to see if he’s got dementia. I mean it’s not a hard test.

Is the Secret Service looking into this veiled threat against the president?
