President Biden talked about the lows and highs of his life in an appearance designed to reintroduce him to an audience of millions. Via the NYTimes:

Trump lickspittle Sen. Lindsey Graham blew off any concerns that The National Enquirer's David Pecker paid for catch-and-kill stories in order to help Trump's presidential campaign. I still want to know what Trump has got on Graham since he did his 180 back when Trump was running the first time.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in its Morbidity and Mortality Report last week that an investigation into the clinic from 2018 through 2023 showed it apparently reused disposable equipment intended for one-time use.
Although HIV transmission from contaminated blood through unsterile injection is a well-known risk, the report said this is the first documentation of probable infections involving cosmetic services.
Many popular cosmetic treatments are delivered with needles, such as Botox to iron out wrinkles and fillers to plump lips.
