Key take-away...
"Meadows also conceded that he sent a text message to a Georgia election official asking if the state could speed up the ballot signature-matching process if the Trump campaign paid for it. That seems like a purely partisan/campaign communication."

Attention associate professors! This is just a gentle reminder to try to stay on top of getting promoted to full professor just in case a grad student murders you and CNN is left to their own devices to write this headline: "UNC graduate student charged with murder in fatal shooting of associate professor" @edutooters

Imagine if the US military was not allowed to negotiate prices on weapons.
Now replace "US military" with "Medicare" -- and replace "weapons" with "prescription drugs."
Medicare can FINALLY negotiate on 10 key drugs now.
Shouldn't Medicare be able to negotiate on ALL drugs?

Really curious on people’s participation in the peer review process.
How many research papers do you review annually on average?

Boston Mayor @wutrain is launching a cargo bike delivery pilot. This is what climate action and sustainable transportation leadership looks like 👏
San Francisco should have a similar program. San Franciscans deserve a leader who will make that a priority. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2023/08/15/wu-admin-announces-september-start-date-for-cargo-bike-delivery-pilot

Remember that prosecutor #RonDeSantis fired? 'What American viewers weren’t told is that, behind the scenes, the governor’s office had quietly conspired with local sheriffs to tarnish the reputations of these democratically elected prosecutors—turning local cops against the state attorneys they’re supposed to partner with and trust." Oh, and the latest firing also short-circuited an investigation of abusive cops.
