Despite the fact that the US has the most cases, adjusted for population, Italy and Spain are far and away the highest for both confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths (data as of 28 March 2020).

Solid argument against abortion.
It's a fiction to say that "abortion is a constitutional right," and @joshjcraddock explains why.

On Monday, we open our high rate rocket engine production facility in Huntsville, AL. In anticipation of that, we wanted to show a little love for our #BE4 engine progress. bit.ly/37ozOFR

1) Lives could have been saved if China was more forthcoming from the start. 2) Same lab also has found vaccines for Zika, MERS, and Ebola. Everyone focuses on high drug costs in U.S., but there is a reason most drug innovations happen here. A lot of that $ goes to R&D.

Guitarist Pat Metheney reflects on the passing of his longtime collaborator, pianist Lyle Mays patmetheny.com/news/full_dis…
Great hypothetical. But no media debate moderator would pose such a question.
Ohio woman takes abortion pills. They cause labor but fail to kill baby, who's born alive at 28 wks. Woman & boyfriend provide no care, seek no med help. Child dies. Police find corpse in shoebox. Couple is prosecuted for manslaughter. Question for Dem candidates: Should they be?
This is so sad. Lyle Mays was one of the great jazz pianists of his era. He and @PatMetheny made the music for the soundtrack of my 20s
R.I.P. Lyle Mays (1953-2020) It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of our friend and brother, Lyle Mays (1953-2020). He passed today in Los Angeles after a long battle with a recurring illness, surrounded by loved ones. patmetheny.com/news/full_dis…

I'm about 75 percent through reading Chesterton's "Orthodoxy." Is it just me, or does anyone else who's read Chesterton find his prose curiously inscrutable? Sure, there are the Chestertonian nuggets that are frequently quoted. But, on the whole, it's a strangely difficult book.

Unfortunately, he's right.
