Pertussis - better known as “whooping cough” or “100 day cough” - is no joke. It can be terrifyingly fatal for small children (they just stop breathing without warning). When it’s not fatal, it can mean 100 days of coughing fits so severe that rib fractures are common.

It is vaccine preventable.

Nearly a decade in the making, we finally have results of the TEAMMATE Trial. Proud to be a member of the trial’s executive committee.

The Consequences of Elon Musk’s Ownership of X Dozens of studies of posts on X from multiple organizations have shown a similar trend: an increase in harmful content during Mr. Musk’s tenure.

When Elon Musk bought Twitter a year ago, he said that it “obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape.” A year later, according to study after study, the platform now rebranded as X has become exactly that.

the irony of this "i was just an ignorant dupe" defense of course is that the hallmark of trumpism is the sneering dismissal of expertise and actual accomplishment such as "having experience" and "being competent at your job" and relying instead on loyalty pledges and nepotism...jared

The Heritage Foundation gets more and more vile with age.

More and more Republicans turning their back on Jim Jordan like he’s a sexually assaulted college student.

Great how one eleventh of House Republicans won't actively support giving a powerful US govt position to a man who supports overthrowing US Constitutional democracy.

Sure, their actions show they still think nothing could be worse than working with Democrats to help America. But it could be worse.

A basin is now running on 100% renewable electricity www.arapahoebasin.com/blog/renewab...

The idea that someone as ridiculous as Jim Jordan could be in contention to lead the House should make every American pause and wonder how the United States has come to such a moment.

I am going to smile smugly at the antibiotic stewardship team next time my transplant patient is on zosyn and they can't try to get me to change it. I will probably talk some smack too.
