House Dems are taking aim at older Dem leaders

"Each one of us must reflect hard and decide — in close consultation with colleagues and leadership where we can be most personally effective in the fight to recapture a majority in Congress that can promote national progress."

The rank hypocrisy of Democrats clutching their pearls over this infuriating! MAGA intended to destroy Hunter and Biden did the only thing he had left to do pardon his only remaining son.

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an American politician and political commentator, Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard). She's best-known for blaming absolutely everything on the US Democrats and NATO, and for being a fan of totalitarian regimes like Russia and Syria.

American nurse Rebekah Maciorowski arrived at the Donbas frontline after Russia’s invasion.

She began training units in lifesaving first aid. Despite chaos & departing volunteers, she stays to aid the injured, sustained by the troops’ grit: “If they stand strong, why can’t I?”

If confirmed, Kushner would be our first ambassador to France since Benjamin Franklin to have been convicted of witness tampering for hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, recording a sexual encounter between the two, and sending the tape to his sister.

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going? When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.

THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on.

Whooping cough cases have quintupled. These states have it worst Pertussis – a disease commonly referred to as whooping cough – is spreading quickly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns. The U.S. has seen five times more cases in 2024 than we di…

🧵Growing outbreaks of vaccine preventable, severe disease in kids:

A grim thread

“As of Nov 9, which marks the latest data available from the CDC, there were more than 23,500 cases of whooping cough reported so far this year. That’s far and above the roughly 5,000 cases confirmed in all of 2023”

Slashing Medicaid for Trump's Tax Cuts Would Hurt Millions The program provides much needed health insurance coverage to one in five Americans, including 40% of children.

With talk of Republicans planning to target Medicaid, a reminder of what's at stake and why you shouldn't be fooled by promises that vulnerable groups can be protected from cuts. My latest @opinion.bsky.social (gift link):

Bizarre Raw Milk Trend Is Putting Kids at Risk Sales of unpasteurized dairy are soaring — amid an outbreak of bird flu among cows. What in the world?

And in case you needed more of a reminder on avoiding raw milk, especially during a bird flu outbreak: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

If you or your children haven’t received your flu vaccines this year yet, it’s not too late!

Another woman, Porsha Ngumezi, died of a miscarriage in Texas. Abortion bans are deadly b/c pregnancy is too complicated to legislate. Please read the full story. Some thoughts below on why ambiguities in the law, coupled with exorbitant penalties, will continue to chill miscarriage care.

The Case for Getting the Government to Pay for Wegovy The Biden administration’s proposal to expand coverage of weight-loss drugs to Medicare and Medicaid recipients is expensive but worthwhile.

The Biden administration is proposing Medicare & Medicaid coverage for obesity drugs like Wegovy & Zepbound. Finally.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Yes I was scared to stay on X.

The Texas Ob-Gyn Exodus Amid increasingly stringent abortion laws, doctors who provide maternal care have been fleeing the state.

Texas Residency applications in ob-gyn have dropped significantly.

Data shows a 56% spike in maternal deaths between 2019 & 2022.

Now, doctors are relocating to New York, California, & Arizona.

Texas is in crisis mode when the standard of care is now a felony.
