I’m well and truly tired of Jay Bhattacharya talking about the lack of trust in public health. He and his cronies seeded, watered, and fertilized distrust during the pandemic, so they shouldn’t be surprised that it flowered.
The man has no training, education, or experience in public health.

Does anyone think our commercial fishing practices are sustainable?
Fundamental change is inevitable, and like the cop says, we can do it the easy or hard way.
It can start now, phased in sensibly, or a bit later, by catastrophic collapse.
Our stark choice.

Republicans are pulling a reverse Robin Hood. The House could vote on its new budget resolution as soon as tomorrow. Call your rep to let them know how you feel about the GOP's plan to gut programs used by millions to fund tax cuts that will predominantly go to the richest Americans. (202) 224-3121

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
"With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

Some came with complaints about Elon Musk. Others chided the GOP to push back against President Trump’s moves to trample the constitutional power of Congress. In districts around the U.S. over the past week, Republican lawmakers faced a groundswell of fear and disaffection from constituents.
