“As funding is available.”? ICE has a bigger budget than the US Marine Corps.

Amazing to me that Cracker Barrel got more front page coverage in Wall Street Journal than Epstein files. Speaks to how bad ICE’s Jackboot thugs aggressive assault of nonviolent protesters has caused the administration to release the Epstein files to distract from that shit show.

The only advice I offer vaccine deniers is some of you will play Russian roulette with small or no consequences. But some of you can expect to be devastated if a child dies or becomes unable to have their own children. Others will likely pay the price for your ignorance.

My world has been enhanced immensely by Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis and Frank Sinatra. The opposite is true of Stephen Miller. Please crawl back under a rock and disappear.

Some practical info about measles from me, a pediatrician.

Just a reminder that measles virus is very infectious with one infected individual spreading it to (on average) 12-18 others in a susceptible population.

With vaccination rates below 92% or so, measles is likely to spread extensively and quickly.

Congressional benefits are criminal.

Why I gave directly to our local food bank.

A simple fact. Ashamed our government leaders have allied the United States with Russia. Damn shame.

Whiskey Pete is intimidated by anyone more intelligent and qualified. Essentially that means anyone above the rank of private is at risk of being purged.

Trump raises end to mail-in ballots after claiming Putin questioned their security Trump said Putin told him that "it's impossible" to have honest elections with mail-in voting.

Mail-in ballots are secure & essential for military families, seniors, parents, & rural voters.
 
For decades, Washington has run successful & secure vote-by-mail elections.
 
Disgusting to see a President take election advice from Putin. Hands off our mail in ballots!

So true.

This worsening downtrend in employment does not bode well for a prosperous New Year.

Here we go again with “Concepts of a Plan” when Republicans clearly have no idea how to provide affordable health insurance.

Trust me that you want avoid getting shingles. Lowering your risk of dementia is just icing on the cake.

Contrary to the claims put forward by the Luddite clan, mRNA vaccines may produce an immune response against certain cancers.

Using AI to debunk BS.

First they came for the immigrants and they did not speak out

Then they sent soldiers after the citizens and they still did not speak out

Then they came for Meriweather Farms' profits and Meriweather Farms said "Wait just a goddamn minute..."

I have no words to describe the incomprehensibly stupid and delusional claims that come out of RFK, Jr’s mouth.

Republicans are already working to downplay rural hospitals shutting down as a result of President Donald Trump’s behemoth budget reconciliation bill.

More than 45% of rural US hospitals operate at a loss. As a result of Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.” more than 300 rural hospitals are at risk of closing. Flood’s home state of Nebraska is no exception, with 29 hospitals operating in the red.

Looks like Whiskey Pete is seriously out of shape after claiming to be able to meet performance standards he endorsed. “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” as Gomer Pyle would say.

I know some badass Women Surgeons. Plus I think they have improved the culture in this specialty immensely. So all I can say is “You Go Girls!”

I have never seen an actual case. But given the growing resistance to vaccines, I expect more horses are not being vaccinated, creating a reservoir for spill over to people.
