87% of people who get pancreatic cancer pass away within 5 years. It’s essentially always a death sentence. And now we’re potentially inching toward a cure. Incredible times we’re in.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/…

@ranman @LizWolfeReason he doesn't believe his own caveat & this smug, low-key evil tweet here proves it
if any new parent is struggling, for whatever reason/s, they are all "lazy selfish assholes"
i also didn't need to see this to know he obviously doesn't believe his own caveat

It is very tempting, if you've had good luck and n=1, to act like your virtue and prudence and optimization are responsible for your good outcomes. I am 29. I've had 4 pregnancies. I have 1 living, healthy child. I dispute that one can optimize their way through parenthood.

@neoavatara Much as Republicans wanted Trump to become president. Twice. The moral high ground is unoccupied.

Democrats seriously wanted this guy to become the Governor of the largest state in America.

@Freakonomics If Warren Buffet’s secretary makes $125k and takes the standard deduction, they are likely paying over 20% in taxes (if you include the 7.5% payroll tax), so his anecdote may actually be true even if he was talking about the taxes he pays for realized capital gains at 20%.

Tax day is nearly here and a lot of what we think we know about taxes … isn’t quite right.
In this episode, we break down 10 of the most common tax myths in the U.S., based on research by Jessica Riedl of the Brookings Institution.
And look at what the data actually shows.

@LizWolfeReason There is nothing better than Trump voters who post Bible verses on social media. 10/10!!!

@nickgillespie You knew a Trump Presidency would come to something like this. But you and every other person at Reason didn't vote for Harris. Enjoy WWIII!!
English
The American president threatens 'a whole civilization' in an undeclared war while the vice president campaigns for a post-liberal authoritarian. Whatever happens today in Iran, something is already dying in the United States.
English
@greggnunziata Most R Senators will ignore your letter and confirm any psycho he appoints. And you will go back to supporting those same Rs when Trump’s gone, as if nothing happened. Which is why they will vote to confirm.
English
Our letter to the Senate on the Bondi nomination holds up.
"We believe that every president is entitled to appointees who support his or her administration and will willingly advance its policy agenda. But those appointees must perform the duties of their office consistent with the law, the Constitution, and their oath of office. The president, any president, is not entitled to appointees who will serve his or her whim if it means betraying these higher commitments. An attorney general, while a member of the administration, serves as an attorney not for the president, but for the United States" share.google/Pg6uUN2FrQLaal…

@asymmetricinfo Are you going to criticize Trump’s insane Easter post or only NYC Mayer’s totally benign Good Friday post?

Standing room only at the 7:30 mass this morning. My back is killing me—but you love to see it

@asymmetricinfo @LtTomPullings @pentamom65 @emzanotti Does Pope Leo also lack basic awareness of the holiday? "He then offered the crowds a blessing that was typical of the Italian saint and used to bless his fellow friars, asking that God "turn his countenance toward you and give you his peace."" ncronline.org/vatican/vatica…
English
Saying "I wish you a joyous celebration of Christ's murder" is kind of like the stores that put challah out in Passover displays. My Jewish friends aren't offended, but they don't feel particularly seen, either. If you want to to cultivate goodwill with the community, you need to display some basic awareness of the holiday.
English
Look, Jesus wasn’t some gentle teacher who happened to end up in history. He said “I Am.” I am God. That means either He was God, or He was a very disturbed individual. Basically no in between.
It’s fine to just not say anything! Really!
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

@jadler1969 Gonna be hilarious for all you who adore Thomas and Alito when this case is 7-2.

SG Sauer sounded confident defending Trump anti-birthright EO, but flubbed answers and admissions betrayed the weakness of his case.
English
@greggnunziata When Trump is gone, are you going to support R candidates who went along with MAGA and senators who voted to confirm this obscene cabinet? Honest question.
English
They've gutted the Justice Department and created a culture where prosecutors and investigators will fear holding the powerful to account. This is an open assault on the rule of law.

@neoavatara And the world people like you helped create by not supporting Harris. Congrats!!
English
@greggnunziata LOL. Every R you ever supported in your gross career is actively breaking democracy and you have the audacity to suggest this ad is a big deal. But at least poor pregnant people in red states can't get abortions, so it was all worth it.
English
This is tawdry and, frankly, beneath the dignity of a former president.
Barack Obama@BarackObama
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections. Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.

@cockamaymee @markraymond @greggnunziata Let me introduce you to a little place called Ohio before you suggest NY broke norms. lolololol
English
@markraymond @greggnunziata Ummmm, those norm breaking actions were instigated by the democrats in New York who in 2024 gerrymandered 3 republicans out of their districts.
English
@nickgillespie Nope. It’s Trump. And it’s the fault of those like you who wouldn’t support Harris. Enjoy!!!

The Iran war is 'the logical terminus of decades of American history — the country’s addiction to technological wizardry to wage war at a distance, the blinkered belief that it could shape events in faraway places by force, the steady whittling away of constitutional limits on the presidency.' nytimes.com/2026/03/26/opi…

@Natureboy1945 @asymmetricinfo Being anti anti Trump is more important to her and her kind than anything else. It is their religion
English
@asymmetricinfo Is there anything you won’t both sides? You’re saying there is something comparable to the government gaming the system to give *individual people* money millions of dollars?
English
It's not a new tactic--it was perfected by environmentalists using "sue and settle" to get stuff from friendly Democratic administrations and sympathetic EPA bureaucrats that they'd never have gotten legislatively.
Jeremiah Johnson 🌐@JeremiahDJohns
A fun corruption hack is to have your supporters sue the govt for something done under Biden, then immediately give them a huge settlement since you control the Justice Department. Perfectly 'legal' and can be done an unlimited amount of times. Money printer for loyal goons.
English
@jamsterdam1 @asymmetricinfo @gregmcrc @thedispatch It's actually not interesting at all. Her anti-anti MAGA schtick is the most uninteresting thing imaginable.
English
@asymmetricinfo @gregmcrc I regularly listen to the @thedispatch podcast and usually find it very informative. You don’t seem like someone who pulls punches (especially when it comes to criticizing the left!) it’s interesting however that you seem reluctant to directly answer such a simple question.

We should have more senators without college degrees.
Arlen Parsa@arlenparsa
AOC graduated with honors from Boston University with double degrees in Economics and International Relations. Markwayne was the only Senator without even a bachelor’s degree. Hope that helps.
English
@nickgillespie @RandPaul @MarkwayneMullin @SenMullin If only there was a way in Nov 2024 to prevent the inevitably incompetent and cruel cabinet nominees of a Trump second term. Oh well. Nothing people like you could have done.
English
It's great to have serious legislators at work like @randpaul, who really lays into his fellow Republican Sen. @MarkwayneMullin, currently up to become head of DHS. @SenMullin is a complete meathead who shouldn't be a crossing guard, much less a cabinet-level secretary.
@SenRandPaul was seriously injured when attacked in 2017 by a deranged neighbor. Mullin made light of the incident and, in a series of pathetic displays of obviously fake and performative masculinity, is constantly calling out the equivalent of "It's go time!," like the geriatric Izzy Mandelbaum from Seinfeld.
Replacing the corrupt and incompetent Kristi Noem at DHS shouldn't be tough, but Mullin isn't even up to that task.

@ZacharyLipez @johnvvariety @lfitzmaurice Can everyone at least agree that releasing the live Laughing Hyenas double album makes up for a lot of what he’s recently done?
English
@johnvvariety I always dig strong takes like this. I’d have agreed a few years ago but, as u been told, last album was good. At least far better than the RATM funk he was peddling for a while. (Also a rare critical agreement with @lfitzmaurice in that White has integrity + is a real weirdo)
English
The biggest fall off of modern music has gotta be Jack White. Imagine making all that stuff and you lose what everyone thought was your cool Moe Tucker accessory drummer but she was the inexplicable key to your music and you do bad bands and become pretend Elvis to constant scorn
English
@asymmetricinfo @dilanesper lol. Like MAGA wouldn’t try to selectively weaponize contraception laws.
English
@dilanesper The law in Griswold wasn't even enforced in the 1960s. They had to go to strenuous lengths to stage a challenge and IIRC the authorities helpfully imposed a small fine so they could litigate.
English
One of my favorite little social facts is something I bring up when scared liberals say "the Right's will come after Griswold". And my response is, "do you notice all those right wing couples have 1 or 2 or maybe 3 kids? Are you really telling me they think contraception is bad?"
Ree@imriona
How do these married couples go absolutely no protection every single day and still avoid pregnancy? What aren’t they telling us? 😭
