I hear you. I can’t help but think that many young professionals who feel impacted by this wanted, they could just leave these fields and change careers. Where will public health be then? Oh yeah, Dr. Oz said “just don’t get sick.”

They make me sick.

List of downgraded programs: Nurses (DNR, NP), Certified nurse midwife, Public Health/Dr of public health, Physical therapists, Social workers, Occupational therapists, Physician assistants, Speech-language pathologists, Counselors, Audiologists

This list of downgraded professions obviously devalues what is already undervalued.

To all those who like to post, "I voted for this," they each deserve what will befall them. Nurses? Counselors, public health, SW, PT? How is that MAHA stuff going to work without these essential professionals?

before worrying about others. Why do so many Americans show so little curiosity about others, but are also so quick to judge them? And Bravo to Bartiromo for not pushing back and generally feeling paranoia.
Upshot: if you have time to watch your baby on a monitor, maybe go spend time with your baby

(1 of maybe 2) Put aside the comments on China. Ms. Hinson thinks watching a baby monitor is "intimate"? I don't usually feel compelled to call anyone out on their parenting, but really? As for the Chinese, it is well established that the Chinese (govt) monitors its people's actions. From drone...

I agree with @toooldtotry.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social (I'm fresh off Bridgerton, so should I say, "just George"?), please run in NY. In the meantime, yes, the regime's agenda, fuelled by venture capitalists behind the curtain includes: www.vcinfodocs.com/breeding-and...

Hoekstra accuses Canada of meddling in U.S. politics, says restarting trade talks 'not going to be easy' | CBC News U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra continued to lash out against the ad campaign that infuriated his president and abruptly ended trade negotiations while on stage in Ottawa Wednesday, accusing C...

Hoekstra has some arrogance scolding Canada on how it conducts its affairs with the US. The US threats of annexation, 51st state and punitive tariffs mean he & his boss have lost their credibility, not to mention the respect of many. So Mr. Hoekstra, sit down and be quiet. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Bob Woodward recounts an interview he did in 2020 with Trump during which Trump boasted about "saving MBS's ass" with regard to the Khashoggi murder, including claiming that he was essentially in control of what Congress would do regarding the matter.

Two completely different pieces of news today, but a common thread: a boastfully complicit president

So much winning?
So much gaslighting! And so much for the fools who voted for this under the auspices of “draining the swamp”!

Thank you @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Stay safe and well

The Epstein Emails Show That Conspiracy Theorists Are Right: ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ Is Real The Epstein Emails prove that conspiracy theorists who believed that those with money and power get away with anything were right.

For all the times we reminded ourselves that Trump was also just one man, emboldened by his huge flock of followers, but enabled by the deep-pocketed, powerful TheilVoughtMillersEtc out there, is it a surprise that Epstein had his own complicit swamp of 🙈🙉🙊?

Whoduthunk?

Thank you. And that applies to all the other “free” airtime given to Guylaine instead of her and Epstein ‘s victims, to Patel and Noem instead of their victims, and so on. Time to stop ramping up BS, gaslighting and conspiracy theories. But especially, stop giving Trump a free pass.

@msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social I love knowing @hcrichardson.bsky.social will be on The Best People. Prof. Richardson's unpretentious wisdom has been the antidote for handling the onslaught of news since #45 and millions of us are outrageously grateful. Looking forward to the next podcast!

Jeffrey Epstein had 1,571 names of contacts in his little black book.

Fewer than 40 names—just 2.4%—were circled.

Donald Trump’s was one of them.

Epstein had 14 phone numbers for Trump. Fourteen ways to reach him.

If that’s not “being on the Epstein List,” what the f*ck is?

Trump Wines Sold At Coast Guard Stores On Federal Property Exchanges in Washington, D.C., and Virginia have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider, allowing his family’s business to earn revenue from sales on federal property.

Exactly

Do you give credence to the theory that many ICE are members of the Proud Boys? It would certainly explain a lot.

This is one of the more terrifying parts of this regime. Defense has become offense, peace has become "lethality," and the FAFO attitude that says 'we'll do whatever we damn well want' is frightening and no joking matter. He cannot be gone quickly enough.

Canadian here. Please take ours as well.

Again, that’s harsh. The plants in the Rose Garden didn’t die because of his presence. They were part of his hommage to Joni Mitchell.

Well, in fairness, he has produced a lot of gas, which he promptly lit. Does that count?

Yes I realize there is a super long history of all those other representatives feeling compelled to set up a table with powerful, factual messages outside the Speaker's office, but still...

Change my mind.

Wait, wait, don't tell me! Too much leucovorin?
