CMS's new rule introduces efficiency adjustments and site-based payment changes, reshaping clinician pay. Amid these shifts, it’s vital that reforms support primary care practices that keep patients healthy. Story from @amylotven.bsky.social:

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Here's the one I sent them:

The Washington Post refers to “a clash between the White House and the AP” when in fact it’s the White House unilaterally punishing a news outlet for using a historical place name that would-be dictator Trump doesn’t like. “Clash,” my ass. It’s a fascist attack on the free press.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Unquestionably, major policy changes, edicts and directives handed down by the new Trump administration will upend lives. But I've also been struck by the widespread efforts to erase/whitewash history. Stick with me for a pretty shocking series of events from just the past few weeks.

BREAKING: Judge Carl Nichols - a Trump appointee - announced he will pause Trump’s effort to gut USAID. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

📣 I don't know if the FDA is among the federal government websites which the Musk/Trump Regime has been bulldozing their way through, but just in case, @niema.net & I have created an index of links to the most recent versions of every page indexed by the Wayback Machine: acasignups.net/fda-website

HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY Babe 🫶🏽 Marrying you remains the smartest thing I’ve ever done. Our love reminds me to be brave. I thank God everyday for this courageous love.

As a consequence of the bungled federal funding freeze last week 16 of 31 community health centers in Virginia are now shut down. With DOGE now in the door at HHS this reinforces the real world consequences for people's health that can result from "mistakes". www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Breaking News: The U.S. Postal Service paused accepting packages from China and Hong Kong, after a Trump order ending their duty-free handling took effect.

Keep telling your stories about what the #TrumpChaosCuts would mean for you and your family. Real lives are on the line.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

#ACTUALNEWS POTUS: “The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment.”
