For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

What do you think of the new ACC/AHA/ACCP guidelines? The A-E categories seem to make it more complicated than it needs to be

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

the Influencer Administration. they see the job as creating content, flying first class, and cheating on their husbands and wives. the only part of the gig that might require some real elbow grease is the immiseration of people they don’t like.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why οΏΌthey hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Newsom sucks. Better than JD Vance? Of course. But Dems can do so much better than Newsom.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.

The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks β€” now, it is orchestrating them.

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

i think if you graduated med school but quit your residency before finishing and never got board certified in any specialty and *still* somehow stayed in medicine, it’s probably because you’re a bad doctor or bad at being a doctor

Doctors frequently call patients β€œpoor historians” which really just means the doctor is a bad interviewer

ICE Is Nothing Like the Brownshirts, Because the Brownshirts Actually Identified Themselves Let’s get this out of the way: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is nothing like the Sturmabteilung, a.k.a. Hitler’s Brownshirts. Your main clue ...

"ICE is nothing like the Brownshirts. One was an open paramilitary wing of an openly fascist political party, the other is an unaccountable government force operating without clear uniforms, identification, or transparency… for an openly fascist political party."
