RFK Jr and the Fox News MAGA/MAHA MDs and PhDs who do his bidding—Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, Oz, Prasad, & Kulldorff—are doing EXACTLY what autism advocates and RFK Jr’s own family predicted he would do 😢 This piece is from January 2025

Glad to see Sen. Cassidy trying to repair some of the damage caused by his vote to install RFK Jr as the head of the federal government's health apparatus. But make no doubt about it: Cassidy owns this. wapo.st/41UxNAx

Should be clear to everybody at this point that Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska emboldened the Russian leader and steeled his resolve to become increasingly audacious. Trump owns what happens next.

Cassidy's performance for tv cameras doesn't match his office's communications.

Today is a good day for physicians. Though it comes many months too late, Sens. Cassidy and Barrasso, both physicians, take their Hippocratic oath seriously and challenge Sec. RFK Jr. for undermining the health and safety of the U.S. We need more of this if we are to thrive and survive.

It appears Sen. Cassidy understands he needs to rebuild his credibility after RFK Jr. lied to Cassidy's face in Kennedy's confirmation hearing.

Kennedy, whose entire platform is comprised of mis- and disinformation, cannot give sworn testimony without putting himself in legal danger. His senate shills know this.

Instead of doing this. the cable networks have experts talking over the policy makers, waiting for Kennedy himself to speak. Herein is part of the problem. We need to temper the commentariat and listen more often to the people in power themselves.

C-SPAN (and everybody else) should be airing the entire RFK Jr. Senate hearing. The health and safety of our nation requires that we hear not only what Secretary Kennedy has to say, but how our elected representatives hold him accountable.

This is where Kennedy's zealotry could be particularly dangerous. I'm not sure he cares what people support.

If I were Chinese or Russian, I'd be concerned about my leaders pondering immortality through organ replacement. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Senator Bill Cassidy, supposedly a physician, has reneged on his promise to "do no harm." Quite to the contrary, his support of RFK Jr is actively harming Americans. Sen. Cassidy should lose his office and his license.

Watching Trump's masked thugs do their thing around the country, it's clear to me that we need to start planning now for something like a Truth and Reconciliation process--or maybe Nuremberg--to render justice to those who made this moment of lawlessness possible.

You’d think this would garner strong bipartisan support.

I feel strongly that if the Ohio National Guard is going to be picking up garbage and laying down mulch, they should be doing it in Ohio communities.

Shameful and cowardly behavior by Cincinnati Children's Hospital leadership. After firing chaplains for speaking out, Ohio hospital CEO warns others to keep quiet ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/29/a...

Didn’t think it was possible, but Husted is an even bigger embarrassment as a US senator than the guy he replaced.

Picture Madison Square Garden. Now imagine it filled with children. 60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. wapo.st/3IRLZn6

Even with extraordinary privilege and ample resources, feeling well is damn close to a full time job.

Any food into Gaza is a plus. But limiting operations to airdropping is incredibly dehumanizing.

Pretty moved by the experience of seeing the limo JFK was killed in. Really impressed by the Henry Ford Museum.

Nice stadium you got here, Detroit. Team ain’t bad either.

Ha ha Elon Musk has never heard of Duverger's Law. Go for it, buddy.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

It can't be said enough.

Psssst....pass it on: Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act will slash Medicaid, with disproportionate impact on Red States, and give a huge tax break to rich Americans.

CBO is providing Republicans with a crystal ball. Your bill is political suicide. Ignore CBO at your own peril.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Between Michigan & Ohio State’s behavior during this authoritarian era, the rivals are not behaving like we should expect higher education institutions to behave. There are many schools in the Deep South, like the University of South Carolina, who don’t act like these two schools do.

This WaPo headline. My god.

Let's not get caught up in the sideshows. The Republicans' bill is an abomination for the class warfare it perpetuates on the poorest, most vulnerable Americans while dolling out goodies for thin-skinned, megalomaniacal billionaires.

The Trump administration is all but assuring - and is actively enabling, in truth - that the U.S. will be devastated by another pandemic in the coming years.

He wore that stupid red hat to address military academy graduates at West Point.

Been posting less about Hungary here in the last months; partly because I find it depressing and deeply concerning what's happening there. Long story short: As Orbán’s challenger continues to lead the polls and could theoretically win the 2026 elections, Orbán intensifies his autocratic crackdown.

When the Secretary of Homeland Security doesn't know what habeas corpus is, you are in the midst of a constitutional crisis.

Has Pope Leo XIV formally blessed the White Sox yet? Might be worth a try.

To state the obvious, Pope Leo XIV should under no circumstances meet with JD Vance.

Papal punditry is even worse than normal punditry.

The attack ads in the Papal Conclave must be next level.

Editing a journal is mostly grinding, thankless work. But getting to publish great work is the fun part. Look out for this article--it's a great one.
