Biden’s Student-Debt Bonfire Is a Classist Message to the Uncredentialed: Screw ’Em: With the stroke of a pen, the already-fake deficit savings within the Inflation Reduction Act will be wiped out. This isn’t a reform. It’s not even pretending to be reform. It’s a contemptuous, abusive, unbelievably expensive shot in the dark — the net effect of which will be that fewer people correctly calibrate whether college is worth it, fewer colleges change their offerings to meet market demand, and, because this sort of executive giveaway will now loom large as a possibility, fewer people feel the need to save for college.

Novel blood test helps evaluate severity in pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare lung disease: Researchers showed the test to significantly improve upon conventional tests. The new blood test measures DNA fragments shed by damaged cells. Researchers found that these fragments, called cell-free DNA, were elevated in the blood of patients with PAH and increase with disease severity. If future studies confirm the findings, this first-of-its-kind blood test for PAH patients could allow doctors to intervene faster to prevent or delay progression of the disease and possibly save lives.

The Big Bet on Natural Gas Is Blowing Up in the World’s Face: It’s not clean, it’s not cheap, and it’s not a bridge fuel to anyplace good. Throughout the 2010s, natural gas was portrayed as a near-miraculous energy source that could fight climate change, lower energy costs, and clean up the environment. It would be a “bridge fuel” that would help eradicate coal and provide the on-demand power that renewable sources like solar and wind could not. A decade later, the supposed dream of natural gas has become a nightmare.

Democrats designed the climate law to be a game changer. Here’s how: In a first, the measure legally defines greenhouse gases as pollution. That’ll make new regulations much tougher to challenge in court. When the Supreme Court restricted the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to fight climate change this year, the reason it gave was that Congress had never granted the agency the broad authority to shift America away from burning fossil fuels.

Slavery and war are tightly connected – but we had no idea just how much until we crunched the data: Modern slavery takes many different forms, including child soldiers, sex trafficking and forced labor, and no country is immune.

At the height of the pandemic, the United Nations recruited over 100,000 “digital first responders” to push the establishment narrative on COVID via social media.

Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have proposed a theory for how SARS-CoV-2 infects the body. Their hypothesis could explain why some people still have symptoms long after the initial infection. Patient advocacy groups have helped contribute to the recognition of post-acute COVID-19, a syndrome characterized by persistent symptoms and/or delayed or long-term complications beyond 4 weeks from the onset of symptoms. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on post-acute COVID-19 and their coordinated management through dedicated

It uses conflict as raw material that it can process into interventions to tell the world that it is the strongest in military terms.”
