LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.

DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)

So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

“Sweet. My fifteen mins of fame. Lmao.”

This is what Border Patrol agent Charles Exum allegedly texted after shooting a woman in Chicago.

Cutting jobs because AI. Rising utilities costs because AI. Loss of ecosystems or possible housing tracts to data centers because AI. Environmental destruction because AI.

Who actually wants this? Who profits from this? Because it sure seems like MOST humans are being harmed not helped.

Today I hit a 100% return rate on my pediatrics signals. Still have 3 psych signals floating out there (one was a moon shoot), and 19 apps. For triple board it is still radio silence from 2 of my 3 signals. (Though I have interviews with the peds program at both places!)

This pleases me to see, as someone who just interviewed for a couple residency programs in Cincinnati. (And you better believe I am watching the local election results in all the places I applied/have invites from).

Apparently it’s time to register for graduation this spring! Two interviews down, many more to go, including two more this week. And got another interview invite just today. Excited to meet all these programs and also intimidated to make a choice between so many great programs.

I have been working since I was 16. Sometimes multiple jobs. I graduated undergrad a semester early. I have worked in public service as a substitute teacher, museum educator, librarian and now as a medical student pursuing child & adolescent psychiatry. I’ve also been on food stamps MULTIPLE times.

Banning medical debt from credit reports is one of the best policies Colorado has passed in recent years. It should be law in every state and at the federal level. No one should have even greater problems accessing housing and transportation due to accident or illness!
Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports.

The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

Food bank lines for thee. International travel on the tax payer’s dime for me.
Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown.

This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

Every day there are new vulgarities that should offend any person who loves Jesus.

This week, he is literally autographing BIBLES and selling them for $1,000 each.

Don’t ever pay $1,000 for a Bible… we’ll send you a free copy & make sure it doesn’t include the founding documents of America.

Phew! That was a whirlwind! But I think the session I went to this morning about neurodiversity in therapy was absolutely a highlight of the conference.

Roughly 1.4 million federal workers are going without pay due to the government shutdown. About half of them are furloughed, while the other half has been deemed essential and is working without pay.
It's supposed to be payday for many federal workers. Instead, they're getting nothing

We have reached the point where the President is extorting payments from his own Justice Department.

He is demanding his own political appointees hand over YOUR taxpayer dollars to enrich himself.

It’s really weird and unprofessional to be snuggling with your partner in the middle of a conference lecture. And it’s even more weird that this needs to be said.

The AACAP panel on early psychosis is chock full of faculty from programs I am interviewing with or really want to interview with… which is not surprising because one of my factors in amy application & signals list was the presence of an early psychosis center. #AACAP2025 #earlypsychosis

Over 2.3 million confirmed so far and the rural wave is real. We were tracking ~3,000 events, but small towns across the country are pouring in with numbers we hadn’t included. A submission portal for city + attendance is coming soon. All counts will be double-certified before the final release.
