My shoulder hurts

“I’ll never forget his words,” Mirabelli said of the pilot. “He said, ‘I don’t know who you are, but we just got cleared to go straight over New York. We don’t have to go around it anymore. I’ve had to carry hearts and lungs and have never had this much clearance.’ If I would’ve told him I was some backup catcher for the Red Sox, it would’ve been more surprising to him.”

Editorial. We need more Charlie Kirks. The conservative activist who was assassinated Wednesday could be bigoted, crude, and insulting. But he wasn't afraid of people who disagreed with him.
Stupendously hypocritical tweet from Secretary of State Marco Rubio dated May 28, 2025 that states "For too long, Americans have been fined, harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising their free speech rights. Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans. Free speech is essential to the American way of life – a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority."
More than two months after the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia from Maryland to his native El Salvador, a federal grand jury has indicted him for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the United States, ABC News has learned. A two-count indictment, which was filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month, alleges Abrego Garcia, 29, participated in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country, according to sources briefed on the indictment.
Local right-wing activist and blogger Josh Fulfer, 45, tried to suggest such camaraderie — while perhaps genuine in some cases — is spurred by fear of speaking out, citing the violence he recently encountered. Fulfer returned to the corner of Nees and Minewawa to continue protests on Saturday after his car window had been shattered the day prior by a counter-protester who wielded what appeared to be a pink-and-blue trans flag and was promptly arrested. Fulfer’s group of a dozen protesting Hernandez’s participation on Friday had grown by several Saturday but fell well short of the 50 to 60 he claimed he expected. A megaphone echoed the message, “No boys in girls’ sports,” for the first few hours of the meet.

Your letter informs me that your office will deny our students and graduates government employment opportunities until you, as Interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, approve of our curriculum. Given the First Amendment’s protection of a university’s freedom to determine its own curriculum and how to deliver it, the constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution.

Three sources with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly confirmed that Brown, the only Black member on the five-person board, had been removed. Board members received word of his dismissal via email early Tuesday. However, the reason for his removal is unclear. Brown, a Democrat whose term was set to expire next year, did not respond to requests for comment. The NTSB referred all calls to the White House, which confirmed Brown’s dismissal but did not give a reason.

Researchers may also have to kill macaques, a type of primate, being used in a vaccine study at the University of Pittsburgh that is funded by the Harvard contract. Killing the animals may be necessary, Fortune said, because they are no longer allowed to use federal funds to feed and care for them.

On a trip to Vermont following the fatal shooting of a US Border Patrol agent, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the Haskell, where she stepped up to the electrical tape and, with a grin, parroted Trump’s taunts while standing on the Canadian side of the line, according to Converse and Deborah Bishop, the library’s executive director. “She stood on the American side and said, ‘USA No. 1.’ Then she crossed the line and said, ‘The 51st state,’” Bishop said. “She did it at least three times and was very clear in saying, ‘USA No. 1,’ and didn’t even say ‘Canada.’ Just, ‘The 51st state.’ ”

In the late 1970s, as the handover treaties were being discussed and ratified, polls found that about half of Americans opposed the decision to cede canal control to Panama. However, by the time ownership actually changed in 1999, public opinion had shifted, with about half of Americans in favor.

“Lone Star is expanding its range and moving into new areas, and that is also contributing to new populations at risk for Alpha-gal syndrome,” said Kersh, who co-authored the recent CDC study. There is no treatment for Alpha-gal syndrome, but some have reduced symptoms over time. Some must completely avoid mammalian food products. Others only need to cut meats from their diet such as pork, beef, and venison. In more severe cases, some can’t tolerate dairy or gelatin, while others must avoid fumes that are released when cooking meat, which can cause a flare-ups. Some who get bit never develop the allergy.
Screenshot of a snippet from a Boston Globe article that says: In June, when Antonellis appeared for an interview on the conservative Howie Carr radio show, fill-in host Taylor Cormier abruptly ended the conversation early after a brief back-and-forth about whether the 2020 election was stolen. Cormier apologized to listeners and said, “that was just craziness.” Antonellis defended himself this month at the candidate forum. “People tell me I’m a conspiracy theorist,” Antonellis said, to some chuckles from the audience. “That’s fine, because you know, one of the most famous conspiracy theorists of all was, guess who? Sherlock Holmes. So, investigate.”
