U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his β€œtop priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧡

I hope this is true because I just started studying Hungarian and I swear it's like trying to learn Martian.

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

With the shameful news about record-high US measles cases, I'm wondering: Was Gilead policy anti-vax? Anti-science, all natural, so seems like yes...but they surely couldn't afford to lose a single child to preventable disease? #handmaidstale

β€’ Mamdani hasn’t actually said or done anything antisemitic
β€’ He did not call to β€˜globalize the intifada’

I sent a woman in Georgia bracelets when we were all so hopeful about the election. She just sent this note. I am overwhelmed with sadness, that it felt necessary. Fury, at what is happening in our community. A tiny bit of hope, maybe, that there might be enough sane thinkers to rise up and stop it.

Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid.

Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Really interesting article as someone who has had lifelong sleep issues (my mom can confirm). Most helpful thing anyone ever shared is the mindset adjustment you mention towards the end. Most days, I feel mostly ok even after very sparse/broken sleep. So I decided to stop worrying about it so much.
