Isn’t this the truth?

He’s a idiot! You don’t have to treat a disease if you prevent it in the first place - by making sure people get vaccinated! He’s not a physician, or scientist. He has no idea what he’s talking about. He needs to rely on the expertise of physicians and scientists!! His incompetence is staggering.

If you haven't seen Senator Cory Booker's interview on Maddow after he broke the filibuster record, you should watch it.

What an inspiring leader. More Senate Democrats should follow his example!

These are not normal times - do something different!

She’s beautiful!!

Thank you, Sen. Cory Booker!

Thank you for being our voice, and standing up for all of us!! You are a great example for all of us! Thanks for creating “good trouble”.

Thank you!!

This is heartbreaking.

Why does Hegseth have a Russian email address? 🤔

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

True!

Adorable!! Here’s our beautiful girl, Ukiyo. Black cats are the best! ♥️♥️♥️

Last time I checked there are exactly zero measles vaccine-related hospitalizations or deaths in 2025, but there are 223 of measles cases, 29 hospitalizations, and 2 deaths in Texas alone

www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

Sad, but true. 😢

Blaming a child for dying is despicable!!

This is what happens when you place someone in charge of health & science programs, who knows NOTHING about science and medicine!! You know what has been proven to work? Vaccines!! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!! Vaccinate!!

RFK Jr. claims child died of measles because of poor nutrition & lack of an exercise program!! He also claims that antibiotics can treat measles!! Basic science and medicine - antibiotics cannot cure viral infections! He would know this if he had some basic science or medical education.

How pathetic and scared must the Trump-Musk gang be, to purge or ban words like "women" "health equity" "gender" "Black" "disabled" "intersectionality" and "climate science"??

That’s what I was thinking

Also, my hand is doing fine. She bit my index finger. I started Augmentin right away. Since I’m a hospitalist, I usually saw the cat bites that ended up in the OR. She’s feisty!

We have to go back to San Jose for about 4 days. John had cataract & glaucoma surgery last visit. He’s going back for a recheck. We have a friend who will leave food out for her while we’re gone. She’s so cute. She’s full grown, but on the small side.

However, once she bit me she ran into a covered ditch. She had to mostly fend for herself for 8 days. She looks like she may have gotten into a scrape with another animal while we were gone. She looks like she lost a little weight.

She’s doing fairly well. She’s still an outdoor cat. I tried to get her in the pet carrier in a hurry before we went to San Jose Cost Rica. She was supposed get spayed, and have an abdominal hernia repair while we were gone. We were going to board her at the vet’s office…..

I don’t think you can find anything in the literature to show that cod liver oil treats measles. Of course, RFK Jr has absolutely no training in medicine, or science. Vaccinate!! People may learn the hard way that vaccines save lives. When you listen to pseudoscientists you get pseudo-cures. 😢

As Measles Spreads, Kennedy Embraces Remedies Like Cod Liver Oil In an interview, the H.H.S. secretary claimed that unconventional treatments were helping patients but described vaccination as a personal choice.

It’s hard to believe that in 2025 the head of HHS is recommending cod liver oil to treat measles!! It’s hard to imagine how many people could be at risk from this epidemic!
