In a leaked message to staff, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital CEO Steve Davis warned against publicly defending a former colleague who has been detained by ICE, suggesting that "could be characterized as political." Two hospital chaplains have already been fired. www.salon.com/2025/07/25/h...

In recent weeks, I've spoken with a number of students and recent graduates interested in pursuing a career in journalism, and while I always believe in following one's heart 💕 it has been difficult to come up with better advice than "you should probably do something else."

The plan being explored here calls for private firms to help set up detention facilities where people recently expelled from the United States would ostensibly be in the legal custody of a "host government" — even as DHS embeds its personnel and provides the equipment and supplies.

Lindsey Graham has died after a decade of groveling, humiliating subservience towards a political movement that will, if anything, celebrate his passing.

Half this piece is spent chiding people who were right about the guy — who didn’t downplay the red flags — and are now smugly declaring “I told you so.” Well, they did, and sometimes we just need to take the L.
