Newsy day, but in the past few minutes, Reps. Lawler (R) and Raskin (D) just had a furious screaming match in a hearing about immigration policy - in front of families who had lost loved ones.

D-day for Moira Deeming.
Nasty Bev McArthur holds top spot on Western Victorian ticket. Both ultra conservatives were endorsed by Jess Wilson who pretends to be moderate but was happy with status quo of retrogrades. #springst #auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…

When we can be overwhelmed by stories of hostility & despair, I find it helpful to reflect on the noblest aspects of humanity. My thanks to journalist Michael Cook for taking the story of Dr Bernard Quin and running with it.

I remember my father's anger.
As I grew, I came to understand why.

Honoured to present the 64th Lambie Dew Oration @Sydney_Uni ‘Courageous Medicine: From Evidence Users to Evidence Creators’. Thought provoking questions from medical students. I feel confident about the future of our medical workforce - people with compassion, reflection and passion to make the world a better place. People who will make the evidence to improve outcomes, not just use evidence that exists.

Fifty years ago today, Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer brought viewers like you a novel way to watch news: a half-hour evening program, free of commercials, that aimed to tell one in-depth story per night. Over the next five decades, that show has morphed into what we now know as the PBS News Hour. to.pbs.org/3L0sjyv

The 2025 #NobelPeacePrize goes to a brave and committed champion of peace – to a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.
Peace laureate Maria Corina Machado has shown that the tools of democracy are also the tools of peace. She embodies the hope of a different future, one where the fundamental rights of citizens are protected, and their voices are heard.
