Sturgis, SD

Only three of the deceased riders are confirmed to have been wearing helmets. That's one more death when compared to the 2023 rally. The Sturgis Rally finished on August 11th, and in the period just before, during, and after the event, 12 riders were left dead as a result of road traffic accidents. Of the riders killed, just three were confirmed to have been wearing helmets, while seven of the riders weren't wearing helmets. It's still under investigation whether or not two of the riders were wearing helmets.

A Florida gastroenterologist has been disciplined after two recent colonoscopy procedures went awry on his watch, including at least one where he couldn’t hear an improperly-sedated patient’s screams because he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids.

Dr. Ishwari Prasad, 84, has been placed on probation by the Florida Board of Medicine after the botched procedures, according to a state Department of Health administrative complaint viewed by USA Today.

Both colonoscopies took place on June 5 last year at the Tampa Ambulatory Surgery Center.



During the first, Prasad is said to have “improperly delegated” medical tasks to a surgical tech who did not have a...

J.D. Vance’s views on gender and parenting have come back to haunt him, again.In 2020, long before he entered politics, Vance appeared on a podcast where the host said that having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”Vance agreed—and that wasn’t all of what was discussed on the episode. The host also said that grandparents helping to raise children is a “weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman,” and Vance again agreed, recounting how his mother-in-law, a biology professor in California, took a sabbatical from her job to help look after his newborn son.“Painfully...

Conservatives are freaking out about Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter after she … did nothing but exist. As Harris’s husband and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff watched on at the first night of the Democratic National Convention, his children Cole and Ella Emhoff stood by his side. Ella, a 25-year-old fashion designer, rocked the Harris-Walz camo hat, campaign swag that was so popular it sold out in just 30 minutes. As the family shared a proud moment, Republicans zeroed in on Harris and Emhoff’s daughter and began critiquing her looks, her body language, and her love for her dad. “Totally not weird,” wrote...

Earlier this year, southern Arizona was staring down a crisis—“homelessness on steroids,” as Pima County’s top official described it. Federal funding for the state’s migrant shelters was about to run dry as near-record numbers of migrants were entering the state from Mexico. Diego Piña Lopez, then the executive director of one of the state’s largest shelter operators, was among the leading voices warning in local and national media about the dire local consequences of the budget fight in Washington.“I think that’s going to lead to a lot of chaos, and a lot more cost across the board for folks to...

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.

Amy Walter on the electoral path to winning the presidency

Twenty-two years ago, Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman wrote for The New York Times Magazine about the era in which he and I both grew up, when the top income tax rate on the morbidly rich ran between 74 and 90 percent. “The America I grew up in—the America of the 1950’s and 1960’s—was a middle-class society, both in reality and in feel,” he wrote. “The vast income and wealth inequalities of the Gilded Age had disappeared. Yes, of course, there was the poverty of the underclass—but the conventional wisdom of the time viewed that as a social rather than...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Last Thursday, 63-year-old John Mark Rozendaal performed a Bach cello suite outside the Citibank headquarters in New York City, as part of the “Summer of Heat on Wall Street” climate protests. Citibank is the world’s largest investor in fossil fuel expansion since the 2015 Paris Agreement, and the protesters were calling on the bank to stop funding new oil, gas, and coal projects. Rozendaal’s cello bore the slogan, “This machine loves, serves, and protects life”—a more peaceful variation on the famous words on Woody Guthrie’s guitar in the 1940s: “This machine kills fascists.”Now, for bringing high culture for free to...

Wednesday’s inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics makes it virtually certain that in mid-September the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Markets Committee will lower interest rates at its final meeting before Election Day. This news will unavoidably make Donald Trump very unhappy. “Quit whining,” Nikki Haley advised Trump this week on CNN, and, yes, Trump has an enlarged capacity for self-pity. But put yourself in the man’s bone-spur-widened shoes. It’s not yet five weeks since some whack job tried to kill you, enabling you to wave the bloody shirt (“Many people say it was a providential moment; probably was”)...

As the world experiences what could be its hottest year on record, the right-wing groups behind the Project 2025 policy road map for a second Trump administration want to supercharge oil and gas drilling, claw back regulations and research funding, and “eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” according to one training video reported last week by ProPublica.Yet a senior staffer at one of the groups that’s contributed to Project 2025, the Center for Renewing America, or CRA, seems to have some doubts.
