On this #VeteransDay we honor those who served in our armed forces. We recognize the perilous moment in which we find ourselves, and pray the example of shared sacrifice by those who have worn the uniform of this great nation can bring us greater unity and sense of community.

Key changes within hospitals’ cost structures have led them to an economic precipice. Hospitals were vulnerable to economic downturns before the first Covid-19 cases were detected and, barring a correction, will remain so long after the epidemic runs its course. #COVID19

Big story: US officials have quietly discussed a Russian military intel unit offering bounties to Taliban & other Afghans to kill US, UK & allied troops. Some have collected. Trump likes Putin. What'll he do? By @charlie_savage @EricSchmittNYT @mschwirtz. nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/po…
