According to Axios, he will make the announcement later this morning.  It could have major political repercussions: One of Washington’s best-wired Republicans said: “This is a Titanic, tectonic shift. ……

Don't know if this is 'second wave' or 'third wave' surf rock, but I like it:  

If we've lost our community immunity and I, or some member of my vaccinated family, get the measels, mumps, or whooping cough - I'm going to be pissed off. In…

Of all the hot takes on the FBI raid of Michael Cohen's home and offices, Axios did the best job of conveying the import of the moment: we're living through…
