The USPSTF has been a paragon of improving care, preventing harm, and saving money for my career

Yet again, this administration continues to be the most pro-cancer administration ever

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy Is Disease, Starvation and Death

If I had this much wealth I would be ashamed to have this as my legacy πŸ˜”.
To be able to do good and yet choose to crush the most vulnerable in a our world requires a sickness and a type of sociopathology that's in a category of its own.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...)

That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse.

His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

I would question how many of these patients don’t already have red flags for post op complications or prolonged stay? Taking oral steroids consistently (28/91 days prior to surgery) is unusual for patients without chronic illnesses that would already raise their risk. What does this add?

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?

My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Thrust into unemployment, axed federal workers face relatives who celebrate their firing Scrambling to replace their health insurance and to find new work, some fired federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their job loss.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Andrew Cuomo Wants to Fix All The Problems Andrew Cuomo Created The disgraced governor is here to save New York (from himself), and more links for your Monday.

"And while in Albany, he did nearly nothing to stop New York City's runaway affordability crisis, which left thousands homeless, instead scheming to keep Republicans in control of the state government in an effort to prevent the passage of laws that would hurt his real estate donor base…"

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids.

Pure and simple, Elon Musk is seizing power that belongs to the American people. I’m ringing every alarm bell I can find, and I’m working to get specific answers on what safeguards are in place to protect people’s privacy and economic security.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

β€œWe should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” β€” RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.
