This administration is wrong about: healthcare, education, immigrants, economics, business, taxes, tariffs, war, peace, loyalty and allegiance to allies & the world, soft power, foreign and domestic aid, care for the poor and unprivileged, morals, ethics, truth, transparency, humanity…

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

JFC--wake up folks--this is illegal and unconstitutitional and its just them testing our tolerance

Ignoring a court order may force some serious questions and accountability for the administration and everyone defending it in any way. Otherwise, seems it is a clear constitutional crisis.

Findings In this survey study of 3000 adults with firearm access, most (91.7%) reported no lifetime history of defensive gun use, whereas many reported lifetime gun violence exposure. Individuals exposed to gun violence and who carried firearms more frequently and stored firearms loaded and unlocked were more likely to report prior defensive gun use. Meaning These findings suggest that policy conversations that center the defensive gun use misstate the risk profile of firearm access.

only 8% of gun owners report any lifetime defensive gun use (1% in the past yeat)

34% report loss of a friend or loved one to firearm suicide, 3% in the past year

This must be stopped

It’s amazing how, in spite of all the presentations, publications & journals, the summary of nearly every academic journal club or guideline assessment is: the avail. data are low quality & better research is needed to make any practice-changing conclusions. #medsky #endosky #EFL #ES #AACE

I dare say it’s not only pediatrics but across medical training. Whether student, resident, or fellow, learners are still adults and must be treated with respect and dignity; conversely, the attendings and teachers (at any level of training) should be treated with respect as well.

Good luck to all taking the ABIM Endocrine board exam tomorrow! Hope the poorly worded & bad questions are out and the pass rate improves dramatically! #EndoSky #MedSky
