If you don't want to give CBS News the clicks, here's the ABC News coverage of Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service (Homegoing in the Black church tradition).

On a scale of 1 (Whatever) to 5 (Iβm dying) rate your anxiety level.
Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word
Absolutely gorgeous dataviz from W.E.B. Du Bois. There's an amazing book detailing many of these.... papress.com/products/w-e...
A major victory! β
"This is a member-driven landmark achievement that will have an enormous impact in Kansas. This would not be possible without the courage of our members, who dug in and fought so hard because they knew that a fair contract was possible.β

This was one of the very best things Iβve ever been part of and we could never, ever have done it if any of us had thought that (for example) parents whoβd waited to vaccinate their kids, for any number of reasons, were bad parents or bad people
you just canβt do public health that way
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

this website loves yelling at people who do actual public health work to expand vaccination offline. it's awesome
White House autism briefing linked to swift shifts in prescribing patterns, study finds | EurekAlert! www.eurekalert.org/news-release...
Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.
More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.
From me: "What Universities Are For."

Well, it will be clear soon enough!
Destroyed, no, but starting to crash (especially given the impacts of the invasion in Iran) does fit the data.

#mRNA is misunderstood, but pretty miraculous. mRNA technology has been decades in the making and has exciting applications beyond #COVID, including fighting #cancer. TNG Alumna @drjenndowd.bsky.social unpacks all you need to know in this fascinating article.
It really is bananas. In no recent memory can you so precisely blame a President's choices for directly (and immediately) impacting the economy so significantly.
Happy Friday! Enjoy my piece about how Kristi Noem was disposable to Trump, despite being the saddest booklicker in his Cabinet.
You can destroy your face to please MAGA, ladies, but it doesn't matter. You're still a woman and they don't respect you.

The Justice Department released *some* of the missing files, namely FBI interview notes from the woman alleging Epstein trafficked her as a young teen to Trump, Trump sexually assaulted her, and then she later endured a series of threats not to talk. Very dark reading www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...
My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks with reporters. (AP / Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
AOC: βThatβs one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American pplβ

Happy Friday. Donβt skip school.
CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"
Great new article on our report on barriers to access in Social Security disability programs.
Read all the way to the end. The closing quote from @ksavin.bsky.social is a banger.
And the over $1 trillion dollar cut to Medicaid will absolutely undermine even this relatively good labor market.
It's amazing the preciseness of the causes here: tarrifs, massive federal layoffs, and now a completely unneeded war that will almost certainly make this even worse. And with the SNAP and Medicaid cuts starting to hit, we have no capacity to soften the pain www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost
The number of people employed at the NIH is at its lowest level in at least two decades.
Hear from six scientists run out by Trump and the work they left behind on cancer research, tick-borne diseases, and more.
