I’m loving this for her.

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

The number of licensed mental health providers in Kentucky has doubled since 2019. Health care is a basic human right - and mental health is just as important as physical health. And I'm proud we have more professionals ready to help those in need.

Is anyone else concerned we’ve had quite a few storms of the century- yet we have 75 years to go?

Real patriotism is wanting your country to be better. Real patriotism is wanting every single person who lives in it to have a stake in its success. Real patriotism is wanting the best for everyone in it. To have the best healthcare, education and life chances. I don’t need a flag outside my door

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

A well-deserved honor. Roy Williams followed in his mentor Dean Smith's footsteps, in leadership on the court and never hesitating to speak out on important issues off the court. He's a proud son of Western NC chapelboro.com/sports/roy-w...

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

The idea of perfectionism as a form of admirable striving is a dangerous misconception. “I can’t stand it when people talk about perfectionism as something positive,” a psychology professor said. “They don’t realize the deep human toll.”

The first hospital pagers were in use in 1949 (!)...but the terminology of resident/attending physicians being ‘on call’ feels increasingly obsolete. Our tools of communication and practice have evolved...so what do we call being ‘at the ready for urgent patient concerns?’ Neologism pls. #medsky

Kyle Schwarber became the first Phillie since Mike Schmidt and the 21st player in MLB history to finish a game with four home runs. He also set a franchise single-game record with nine RBIs.

NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.

When not to place a drain may matter more than how to manage one. After #pancreatoduodenectomy, routine drains aren’t the standard anymore: ✅ Omit in low-risk ✅ Use selectively in high-risk ✅ Remove early when safe

I visited the The Royal Flying Doctors Service base in Alice Springs & marvelled at their amazing work. Australia spans the width of Europe from Portugal to Ukraine & Turkey (see superimposed map). Delivering medical care to this great Southland is a challenge! #surgery #australia #RFDS #health

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Only 7.9% of rural hospitals (excluding critical access hospitals) in the US are CoC-accredited, compared to 35% of urban hospitals. This article describes favorable approaches to achieving accreditation for rural hospitals. 🏥

Utah…

I just realized I owe Janette Sadik-Khan a huge thank you for developing NYC’s Summer Streets program and leading the creation of the Citi Bike program. She made my ride yesterday possible on both counts. And based on the vast number of people I saw out riding, I’m not alone @jskstreet.bsky.social

The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the @nytimes.com is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.
