The Dangerous Rise of Jay Bhattacharya — AJI
Written By Dr. Jonathon Howard Published: 3/5/ 2025 As a doctor in New York, I witnessed what SARS‑CoV‑2 could do when it spread unchecked. I saw more people die in spring 2020 than in my entire career, including some healthy, young people, and I saw COVID severely injure people without killing them. That horror has passed, but grave risks remain. COVID isn’t gone, measles and pertussisare returning, and a new pandemic is possible. Meanwhile science itself is under attack.
Native Americans Have Been Taking on Billionaires in the Hamptons
Southampton, New York, is the famed summer retreat of billionaires and celebrities. A two-hour drive east from New York City, mansions line its picturesque beaches and luxury vehicles parade its streets. But just outside of town, a Native American group has been staging a month-long occupation for their tribe’s economic empowerment. The protest ends today, on the Native American National Day of Mourning, when millions will be celebrating Thanksgiving.
Pete Buttigieg Stood by Police Officer Who Mocked and Profited From Eric Garner’s Final Plea of “I Can’t Breathe”
It was a sunny day in July 2014 when Eric Garner was killed. The 43-year-old African American man had been approached by New York City police officers on suspicion that he’d been selling loose cigarettes. After a few words were exchanged, the officers attempted an arrest. When Garner pulled away, the officers tackled him. One white officer put the father of six in a chokehold. As he lay face down on the ground under a pile of grown men, Garner pleaded for air.
Kamala Harris’s Signature Achievement Was a Complete Failure
It’s been called Kamala Harris’s “most successful program.” Framed as a visionary break from an era of “tough on crime” policing, “Back on Track” (BOT) has been replicated in cities around the country and was even adopted as a model program by the National District Attorneys Association. Harris herself has cited it as an inspiration for her 2010 book, Smart on Crime. But given the realities of the program, the praise is largely unwarranted.
Environmental Groups Call For Reforms To End Ex-Im Fossil Fuel Funding
House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) abruptly pulled a bill in late June that would reauthorize the Export-Import Bank of The United States (Ex-Im). The move came amid defiance from her own caucus—the first time she has faced resistance from members of the committee since she became Chairwomen in January.
Biden’s Climate Plan: Much More than Natural Gas, But Still Natural Gas
On Tuesday, Democratic presidential hopeful and former vice president Joe Biden released his highly anticipated plan to address climate change. Billed as a “revolution,” it amounts an aggressive ‘all of the above’ strategy that draws from the Green New Deal while allowing for the continued production and development of natural gas and natural gas infrastructure at home and abroad.
Be More Human: Fighting Homelessness on the Front Lines
Share Tweet Submit Pin Bathed in the flickering glow of Times Square’s innumerable billboards, Andrew Funk looks down, scrutinizing a sign he’s made from dumpstered cardboard and permanent marker. “50,000 Tourists in Times Square every day, but 5,000 homeless sleeping on the streets,” it reads. The actual number of homeless living on New York City’s streets is closer to 3,800; but when we call this to his attention, Funk fixes us with a look and sucks his teeth.
