Sifting and winnowing in the Badger tradition.
Thank you Sec'y Johnson for keeping the evidence in WI's vaccine messaging, unlike RFK Jr's CDC. There is no link between vaccines and autism; 24 studies over more than 2 decades have not shown a link. The Wakefield study purporting a link was retracted for fraud.

As the leading per-capita consumer, and a leading producer, the US should lead the charge. RFK Jr?

Thanks, Paul. You expose RFK Jr. and his mendacity better than anyone I know. Now a dirge for the CDC.

Some (Beef producers) would have you believe that human infections such as UTI's have nothing to do with meat exposure/consumption. Read on...it's rather common.

The 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine reduced hospitaliztions in those over 65 by 70%. Update yours, seniors.

WI is one of only two states who do not offer Medicaid benefits for a year postpartum (we're 2 months), when maternal health is often in need of care. This was backed by a majority including Repubs and Speaker Vos prevented a vote. Shame on him. Pro-life, Robin?

The scope of the abandonment of preparedness is outlined. Trump, RFK Jr, Jay Battacharya and M Makary are supremely confident of their leadership and decisions. That's scary.

How corrupt has Pam Bondi made DOJ in 10 months? Read what those who experienced it. It's staggering. Voters with a conscience need to do what many fired lawyers did- stand up to the violators of the Constitution.

The toll is staggering and likely a significant underestimate. The trauma to survivors is profound.

This story, (8/24), remains apropos as Trump keeps claiming: 300,000 killed from Fentanyl every year . In fact, drug overdoses killed ~110,000 in 2023 and fell by > 20% to 80,400 in 2024; opioids accounted for ~60% or ~48,000. All tragic, but POTUS, tell the truth.

Only 23% of WI residents vaccinated thus far. Now is the time to get it.
In 2023-24 CDC est. the vaccine in the US averted ~10million illnesses, 118,000 hosp stays and 7900 deaths (across all age groups). Anyone 6mo or older eligible. It's safe and available.

The US is not far behind Canada. Vaccine skepticism crosses borders-as do the viruses! Measles will be endemic in the Americas until nearly all realize that vaccination against measles protects the recipient (and community) from potentially devastating illness.

Definitely something to know and ask if you have risk factors. Awareness, recognition, then action can prevent serious downstream complications.

Why would a pardon be needed if there was no crime? At least it doesn't affect WI's prosecution of efforts to overturn WI's election. Let justice in the Badger state rolldown like water; may those who attempted the steal, see the flood of consequences.

Nov 10-21 in Brazil, the US, under Trump's direction, is notably absent. We know Trump relishes cruelty and revenge towards those he loathes; this is global cruelty from our nation by POTUS. Generational suffering will follow from MAGA doctrine. American exceptualism.

Pulitzer winner (2013), a powerful, important read. Thurgood Marshall as a legal giant in his work for the NAACP legal defense fund, and Jim Crow USA at its most murderous and cruel. Knowing our history is needed to improve it. Is it on Clarence's bookshelf?

The BBB was at least a $117 billion gift to the 1% in 2026. That wasn't enough, so Trump's accolytes are doling out much more, likely illegally, as no such congressional approval for most.

Fascinating. Clearly a need for further study as to the mechanisms and determinants of appetite hormone fluctuations in pregnancy.

The attempt to engage the military against Trump's perceived foes, be they political, domestic or foreign is on. Hegseth is preparing the ground by removing those who might speak truth or follow their oaths. As the POTUS gets pushback, he will double down on this.

Go Zohran, Go NYC! Not since Lincoln in his Cooper Union speech (165 yrs ago), has an "unknown" politician captivated New Yorkers with his rhetoric.
May your prose match your poetry, Mr Mayor.

Ron sure knows how to pirouette to the Dear Leader's whims.
In 2022, ending the filibuster was a "naked power grab" per Ron. Now it's the most reasonable thing for a Republican Senate wanting to eat its cruel cake and end the shutdown w/out negotiating with Dems.

Former Sec of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, on the doubtful legality of "drug cartel" killings; the push by Trump/Hegseth to weaken the military's brass' ability to refuse an illegal order. Adm Alvin Holsey resigned; did he believe refusal meant court martial?
