Mexico President AMLO leaves office with >70% approval. At his farewell address: "People want an authentic democracy, not a simulation, not an oligarchy with a facade of democracy... The oligarchs want power without the People. To hell with that!"

Joe Biden may have made Juneteenth an official holiday but there are few politicians who have done more to inflict misery on poor people of color. Half of the students I teach in prison would not be there but for Biden and Bill Clinton. In the 1970s, Biden fought school busing,…

One of the most important laws of my presidency was making Juneteenth the first new federal holiday since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ms. Opal Lee is the grandmother of the movement that helped make it possible. She made it her mission to make history, not erase it.

China zips forward to demonstrate otoferlin gene therapy for deafness in clinic. Also pursued by Decibel Therapeutics (now $REGN) and Akouos (now $LLY). Four treated deaf children can now hear out of treated ear. They have "moderate hearing loss" now, as opposed to no hearing.

420-1. I was the only person to vote against the invasion of Afghanistan 22 years ago today. I was seen as a radical. I was slandered as unpatriotic. I received death threats. But I stood my ground. Because I will always do what's right—even if I have to do it alone.
