The HPV vaccine is durably AMAZING.A massive Swedish registry study w 18 years of follow-up found no waning protection against invasive cervical cancer. If vaccinated before age 17, cancer risk is cut by ~80%. Even those vaccinated later still had substantial protection.

A new study found individuals who experienced food insecurity were more likely to choose telehealth abortion because of economic constraints, like cost, challenges in finding transportation, and difficulty with finding child care.
The prospect of Trump rejecting the ebulliently vicious Paxton—a man who has positioned himself as Trump’s man in Texas for a decade—in favor of Cornyn and his slightly less obsequious support of the MAGA agenda is itself sublime. But feast on this: Trump would also be turning his back on the one man in the country as hungry to turn an election into a revenge tour as he was. Cornyn is a cardboard box filled with Senate Leadership PAC money. Paxton is a feral raccoon with nothing to lose. He may not have as much cash on hand as Cornyn, but he has even fewer scruples and a history of bleeding opponents out over long campaigns. What’s more, a Trump endorsement of Cornyn means that both Paxton and Cornyn own Trump, for better or for worse. Who has “worse” on their bingo card? I have “worse.”
Wrote about what it might mean for Trump to endorse Cornyn at The Nation this morning and all the good news for Texas Dems. It's going to be a *delightfully* ugly race.

Possibly an unpopular opinion here, but: I believe Professor Wurman is more a symptom of the problem than the problem itself.
The real problem is originalism.
