My Grandma passed away today. A while back, we drove past a mansion she used to clean in Naples, FL: “I remember cleaning toilets for a doctor that lived there,” she said. Then w/a smirk, she finished: “But my son’s a doctor now.” Rest now Grandma, from your Dream Come True.

Capping loans will result in less students from disadvantaged backgrounds be able to attend medical school. That is a fact. Show me evidence that this will help to actually make a difference in tuition pricing.

Proud mom moment at #KidneyWk. My daughter Sofia, a high school junior, presented her first research project (Spanish-language CKD videos on YouTube). Grateful to Katie Rizzolo, my very first research mentee, for bringing her onto the team. Mentorship keeps going 🩷

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.

Years ago I met a Dr who’d changed jobs 3 times. I thought: “Sounds awful!😣” I anticipated retiring from my 1st job. As fate would have it… What I’ve learned: Mission is the driver. Not city, not 💰, not title. (Thx to God and my family.) No matter what— #StayOnMission✊🏾

There’s a pretty simple explanation for that UT photo. For years, the top 6% of Texas high school students got automatic admission to UT. Now it’s the top 5%. It’s completely colorblind. It’s just class rank. Asian kids are about 5% of Texas graduates, but roughly 21% of the kids hitting a 1180 SAT/24 ACT benchmark. Absolutely kicking ass. And UT’s own numbers make the “foreign students” explanation pretty hard to square. Only about 4% of UT undergrads are international students. What we’re looking at is immigrants and the children of immigrants doing all the things YOU SAID you wanted immigrants to do: come here legally, work hard / succeed academically, and assimilate into our culture. Check. Check. Check. I’m starting to think your problem with this picture might be something else entirely....

I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

NEW: Every week, a Philadelphia nun drives to the immigration court in Harlingen, Texas, to sit beside unaccompanied children, some as young as four, who face a deportation judge with no lawyer and no parent. This week, an undocumented migrant who is facing imminent deportation called Sister Rose Kuhn his “angel.” This comes as Catholics across the nation, inspired by Pope Leo XIV, are standing up to the White House’s immigration policies. thelettersfromleo.com/p/a-ph…

A Philadelphia Nun Sits With Unaccompanied Children at Texas Deportation Hearings

Sister Rose Kuhn drives to the Harlingen immigration court every week to pray beside children who face a judge alone, some as young as four.

Pablo's investigation accomplished several things, but I would argue that its biggest accomplishment was holding a mirror in front of the present state of sports journalism and exposing its sycophantic nature.

BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN. Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.

Costco is a scam. One finally opening near me, got a membership (which is more than Sam's top tier) and I am shopping for all the stuff I buy from Sam's and its all more expensive than Sam's. So the main allure of Costco is cheap hot dogs? Biggest disappointment of the year.
