Let's be clear: - Hantavirus is NOT a bioweapon - Ivermectin doesn't help. - It has nothing to do with COVID vaccine - Etc etc etc Uncertainty & fear fertile ground for bunk. Hantavirus conspiracies are spreading open.substack.com/pub/garyschw... by @garyschw.bsky.social

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

Grateful to leaders from PCC members @acpimphysicians.bsky.social and @aafp.org (and our friends at @aledade.com) for carrying the torch for primary care at the Energy and Commerce #MACRA Reform hearing this afternoon. It's imperative that any Medicare payment reform centers primary care.

Another souvenir from soon-to-be-former Senator Cassidy. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/w...

"Are we accurately valuing the services that physicians do?" - @acpimphysicians.bsky.social's Dr. William Fox asks the core question that needs to be at the center of Medicare payment reform.

"What Medicare is not good at is paying to care for patients with chronic, complex illnesses longitudinally over time." - Dr. William Fox

...The decline in physician reimbursement by 33% when adjusted for inflation since I started my practice is an example of one such policy neglect." - Dr. William Fox (2/2)

"For decades, our country has not been intentional in its approach to physician reimbursement and the physician workforce policies that would best serve Americans. This neglect has directly led to the erosion of both primary care and independent practice.... (1/2)

"I am passionate about preserving primary care, because it is essential that we do so. It is the foundation of a highly functioning health care system. I am equally passionate about maintaining independent practice as a vital part of our country’s health care infrastructure." - Dr. William Fox

Whether it’s Donald Trump stealing $1.7 billion from the treasury to share with his friends or Hillary Clinton using a private email server to share risotto recipes with her friends, there’s plenty of inappropriate sharing on both sides.

MAGA turns against Kyle Rittenhouse

MAHA fluffers tried that with me too. And I curse the most when I am quote his protege Prasad.

So the evangelical preacher who worships Donald Trump - an utterly corrupt, dishonest, lawless, cruel sociopath who’s also a serial sexual abuser of women, & most likely a pedophile - the preacher who worships THAT immoral monster is worried America is “morally rotten?” Seriously Franklin Graham???

They will interrogate him on what he knows about... enriching oneself through lucrative government contracts. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/w...

Pete Buttigieg to CNN just now.. about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's controversial road trip reality show "I love road trips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different"

A little too late to be growing a pair, methinks. www.mediaite.com/media/news/g...

I think that this speaks more to the values (or lack thereof) of his constituents than to domination.

Kennedy has turned HHS into the “Island of Misfit Scientists,” which unlike the Island of Misfit Toys has no one that anyone else would want. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/h...

My guest column in today’s The Providence Journal on the appeal of concierge medicine to doctors and lessons that should be applied to conventional practice - it’s all about autonomy.

FDA: We think the vaccine killed 10 children, but we have no data or evidence to back it up nor will we ever elaborate FDA: [blocks large scale studies with evidence showing safety]

Apparently, "Low-IQ" is the new "N-word"

RFK Jr. and the CDC’s top official, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, don’t want you to read this. Paper shows that 2025-2026 Covid-19 vaccines were effective. They censored it. That’s exactly why we need to read it. So, we published it in Inside Medicine! Take a look... open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Back in the day, Pan American used to fly clippers. I guess United is bringing that back.

This stuff is so benign that tons of it is for sale on Amazon. Anyone arresting Bezos?

A different sense of justice. The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first 6 mos of the Trump 2, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism by violent white supremacist groups, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases

Thank you, Donald Trump!!! What would we ever do without your stable genius?

The war that was an excursion ended because the hostilities were terminated, but gas prices won't come down until after the war is over...

Will they be reassigned to defend the Ukraine-Russia border, on the Russian side, of course?

Did they have any faith in the first place?

So if you spend your time posting on social media, watching cable news, and falling asleep at meetings instead of doing your job, you won't be eligible for the government to provide you health insurance and housing? Asking for a friend.

Captain Bonespurs stood in front of Christina Koch and boasted that he could have been an astronaut because “it’s easy”. Koch has degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics, a Master’s in Electrical Engineering, 328 days in space, and 6 spacewalks. He’s not a genius. He’s a fucking moron.

I guess that means that he won't be meeting with Lee Zeldin.

Trump Il Don abusing power to silence another dissenter. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Another Trump attack on free speech. The kind of big, oppressive, authoritarian government my former colleagues on the right always said they feared. Guess not anymore.👇

Your tax dollars at work. Were there empty nips and Coors Light cans scattered around the helipad?

The late-night host told the first lady to "have a conversation with your husband" about what he called the president's violent rhetoric

You really cannot overestimate the level of status trauma a lot of white Americans experienced at the election of Barack Obama and how much of our politics is still influenced by it bsky.app/profile/beau...

new "i am not a crook!" just dropped

Is this like the Brady Bunch episode where Mike gets sued and he tricks the guy in the neck brace to turn around by dropping a large book on the floor in the courtroom?

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
