Why PBS and Ali Rogan are SO important - and why administration shills are so dangerous - for public health. Listen for the hormone replacement spin, but stay for the Tylenol/autism ass-kissing at the end. Shameless.

Can we at least agree Brett Kavanaugh is a lite-weight entitled douche who doesn't deserve to serve on the Supreme Court? He came back to this point below at least 3 times today, '...yeah, but Nixon did tariffs that did stuff' and ' ...but Trump needs tariffs to make India convince Putin to lay off'

There’s a reason we have a centuries-old law banning living presidents on U.S. currency: to avoid the appearance of a monarchy.
Today Trump's nominee to lead the Mint assured me he won't violate this law for Trump's latest vanity project. We will hold him to it.

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.
