📢 New research! 📢
The small minority of Americans who say they would likely be combatants in civil war are open to change. We can prevent political violence by urging non-violent approaches + being vocal in our rejection of political violence. cvp.ucdavis.edu/research/pub...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Which is to say, even if countries agree to negotiate trade, Trump will still keep tariffs on their goods
UPDATE: President Trump says deal with the U.K. is close, but 10% tariff remains on some items.
Trump confirms he will sign first post-tariff trade deal with Britain
President Trump previously dismissed critics asking about how many deals he has brokered, after he paused plans for some tariffs last month to allow for negotiations.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

@thanhneville.bsky.social I saw your post about the patient who died on Christmas Day and the 3 Wishes team helping with a fellow and resident easing the transition by providing the comfort of personal touch by music. If they are willing to share, can you ask them what their selections were? 🙏🏼

We never thought that our program would need a presence on the Labor & Delivery Ward. But the reality is that intrauterine demises (stillbirths) can be absolutely devastating to expecting patient. Being able to take away a memory box and/or footprint can bring them a small comfort.
