The push to make these kind of draconian Medicaid cuts has now accelerated in the wake of the December pledge of House Republican leadership to make at least $2.5 trillion in cuts to mandatory spending as part of budget reconciliation, paired with an increase in the debt ceiling (and to partially offset trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations).

Sam Moore, the surviving half and higher voice of the 1960s duo Sam & Dave that was known for such definitive hits of the era as “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin,’” has died.

The Chargers' dramatic turnaround is a testament to Harbaugh, and ahead of their Wild Card game against the Houston Texans, Justin Herbert was asked by reporters when he realized that Harbaugh was different: Herbert responded by pinpointing the exact moment, sharing that Harbaugh had claimed to the team that he remembers the exact day he was born. "He kind of told us the whole story and how he remembered looking out the window and I think it was a cold, snowy day," Herbert said. "I really hope he does remember that. That'd be pretty cool."

The American Dialect Society, in its 35th annual words-of-the-year vote, selected rawdog as the Word of the Year for 2024. More than three hundred attendees took part in the deliberations and voting, in an event hosted in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America’s annual meeting. The verb rawdog is defined as “to undertake without usual protection, preparation, or comfort.” While the word originated as a vulgar slang term referring to having sex without a condom, rawdogging ended up crossing over into mainstream usage for a wide variety of activities, like the travel trend in which a passenger sits through a flight without any distractions.

There was plenty of shouting about AI at the tech world's mega trade show, but not a lot of substance.

Conference attendees were skeptical. The Riemann zeta function is one of the most central functions in number theory, and mathematicians had been trying for centuries to prove the irrationality of ζ(3) — the number that the zeta function outputs when its input is 3. Apéry, who was 61, was not widely viewed as a top mathematician. He had the French equivalent of a hillbilly accent and a reputation as a provocateur. Many attendees, assuming Apéry was pulling an elaborate hoax, arrived ready to pay the prankster back in his own coin. As one mathematician later recounted, they “came to cause a ruckus.”

Long before this week’s devastation in California, catastrophic wildfires have been a fact of life on the edge of the map. I woke up yesterday morning to 129 text messages, all essentially asking me if I was still alive. I appreciate all of them. I get it, I’m thankful, though they flood me with anxiety. But I’ve been in this city for most of my adult life and this ritual is starting to feel banal. This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. This story has a script. Fact is, burning down is what Los Angeles does. It’s what California does. Kansas has tornados and we have fires. There are some things we can do to mitigate it, like taking climate change seriously (won’t happen) and avoiding insane arbitrary overdevelopment (won’t happen either), but ultimately there’s just this weird cultural complacency: we don’t really care if California burns down. It’s all in the act of God clause. A bunch of celebrities have lost their homes, untold acreage has been destroyed, and about four paragraphs down, in the part you don’t read, the writer will note that people are dead. That’s how this story always gets told.

The United States Coast Guard is investigating after a large cargo ship ran aground on Wednesday night in the Delaware River.

Why we’re publishing a previously undisclosed list of all 448 members of the Democratic National Committee Three weeks from now, the Democratic National Committee will convene in National Harbor, Maryland, to elect a new party chair and other national officers. For Democrats reeling from the defeat of Kamala Harris, this will be their first opportunity to anoint a fresh face for the national party to replace Jaime Harrison, who is stepping down. A new chair, particularly one elected via an open vote and not merely picked by an incumbent president, as is the party’s tradition, could also change how Democrats operate at both the national and state level. So, while some joke that the race for DNC chair is the ultimate high school class president election, whoever holds the office will have a significant role in how Democrats respond to Trump, how they rebuild, what changes they make to their media, technology, and fundraising practices, and how the 2028 presidential selection process plays out. But who will make this decision? Officially, it’s a secret. According to the DNC, there are 448 active members of the national committee, including 200 elected members from 57 states, territories, and Democrats Abroad; members representing 16 affiliate groups; and 73 “at-large” members who were elected as a slate appointed in 2021 by the party chairman, Jaime Harrison. For a party that claims the word “democratic” and insists that it is a champion of transparency and accountability in government, the official roster of these 448 voters is not public.
