this is my kind of company motto right here

Just to remind you of who the villains are in this Ebola epidemic.

my favorite erick erickson moment is when he said that his family refused to eat asian food on the anniversary of pearl harbor to honor the tragedy. a reporter reached out to his mom to confirm whether this was true and she was like “i don’t know what the fuck he is talking about”

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Pediatricians and hospitals would make more money taking care of sick kids who didn’t get vaccinated. Good thing exactly *zero* of us are in it for the money. #VaccinesSaveLives

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

Recall of Gov. Jeff Landry:

Sean Duffy’s reality series is getting slammed for all of the obvious reasons, but don’t look past the fact that his show is being sponsored by companies his department oversees and regulates. In other words, it’s not just a political mess, it’s also an ethical one. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Florida has 2nd highest # of uninsured kids in the U.S. yet the Governor refuses to expand CHIP and continues to violate federal law and make more kids uninsured The Trump Administration is not enforcing federal law Dr Oz talks about his "moral duty" but apparently kids aren't it wapo.st/4mTZHG8

Make no mistake: CBO continues to estimate huge cuts to #Medicaid from OBBBA, last year’s reconciliation bill, despite Trump Admin officials’ false claims otherwise. In fact, CBO projects that 7 million ppl will lose #ACA Medicaid expansion coverage from 2025 to 2032.

If someone can’t clearly say “Yes, Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,” they shouldn’t be confirmed to anything.

NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

In the richest country on Earth, it should never be this dangerous to bring a child into the world—especially when so many maternal deaths are preventable.  Honored to stand with my colleagues as March of Dimes named us 2026 March for Change Champions.

Brutal.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

I’m incensed that immigration policies are removing foreign doctors from their hospitals and jobs. We face a critical physician shortage. Many of these doctors treat the poor and underserved. This decision will cost lives. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/u...

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

The indirect — and sometimes surprising — benefits of vaccines - including, e.g.: * rubella - protects unborn. * pneumococcal - protects the elderly, too. * HPV - protects unvaccinated partners. And many more. www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/v... via @statnews.com @helenbranswell.bsky.social

The measles outbreaks in the US are so bad and out of control that pediatricians are reaching out to colleagues in developing countries for input on how to manage severe complications of the disease that they have never seen before. Measles was eliminated in the US for 20 years then #RFKJr happened.

🇺🇸 In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup with Andrews, Graham leads 47% to 42% of would-be voters. 🇺🇸Andrews closes the gap to just two points (44% to 46%) once voters are informed about each candidate's positions. 🇺🇸 Among independent voters, Graham trails Andrews by 19 points. November is coming.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Because of Trump’s cuts to health care, rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closing. Republicans in Congress voted for this. Trump signed it into law. And we’re going to hold them accountable for it in November.

Iran's leadership has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei, the previous leader's son and aide, as the new supreme leader. So President Trump's war has succeed inreplacing one Supreme Leader Khamenei with another who is younger, healthier, just as hardline and has close ties to the IRGC.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

January 2021 was the deadliest month of the pandemic. 3000 Americans died daily, 95,000 in total. And Prasad was *mocking* people for avoiding COVID. Shame on anyone who treated him as a good faith actor or serious thinker. Let’s be honest about his record.

If someone in your life talked like this, you would research involuntary commitment
