We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Public libraries are amazing!

Not just promotion-payment. The wealthy and those with insurance will have access.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Georgia health agencies work to contain metro Atlanta measles outbreak About 300 people have been exposed to a metro Atlanta measles outbreak that began with an unvaccinated person and spread to two other family members. Here’s what to know.

This is absolutely cruel. Most of these healthcare professionals work are short-term hires. This will decimate these services and increase the burden of student loan debt on these dedicated people.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Individuals with immune disorders should consider masking in public places.

This is criminal and endangers lives.

the history of syphilis is an international case of "those dirty shaggers over there"

As an ER doc, I thank you for being there.

At salaries well below those of the private sector. Outsourcing these positions to private firms is not efficient.

Typical move to please investors. But cutting services for vets is probably not a great strategic move.

Timeline cleanse.

We need to be clear that Trump and Musk are not reducing the size of the US government, or shrinking it.

This is good news as the rules used by health plans to deny care and their basis on medical evidence must be transparent if appeals are to be fair.

Since when has the word “women” become taboo?

I’m watching the Talking Heads’ movie, Stop Making Sense on a continuous loop.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.
