The universe is wild.

This streak on a Hubble photo, originally thought to be an imaging glitch, is actually a 200,000 light year trail of new stars formed by the wake of a black hole that was ejected from the galaxy at the top right.

For reference, that streak is about twice the diameter of the Milky Way!

I have in my entire career so far treated zero complications of mifepristone, and maybe a half dozen from medical or surgical abortion overall. I have treated thousands of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) overdoses, scores of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) overdoses, and dozens of baclofen (Lioresal) and alprazolam (Xanax) overdoses. I’ve watched people die from aspirin overdoses and aspirin-related bleeds. This judge in Texas is a disingenuous lying scumbag.

For years, our "Gutting the IRS" series looked at the decades-long campaign to defund the IRS and leave it understaffed.

We’ll probably be hearing a great deal in the coming weeks about The Tennessee Three, two of whom the state’s House GOP voted to expel yesterday. My write up of what went down and what it means in the larger sense, in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/showdown-in-nashville?sd=pf
