Routine reminder that “Dr.” Phil had his license suspended in 1988 after multiple complaints of professional misconduct, including sexual harassment of a patient. He has been investigated for professional violations multiple times since then and voluntarily surrendered his license completely in 2006
Dr. Phil says he’s not very political. But he keeps showing up at very politicized events, the latest being ICE raids in LA.

So, what happened? How Dr. Phil Became ICE’s ride-along partner 👇

A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

A lifelong liar and the world’s biggest antivaxxer broke his ‘promise’ not to destroy vaccination. Bill Cassidy knew exactly what self-serving partisan deal he made and who he was making it with.
BREAKING: RFK Jr. fires ACIP, the panel responsible for advising on vaccines.

This breaks a promise to Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to advance Kennedy as HHS secretary on the condition that he would, among other things, keep ACIP in place.

For those of us around the world with looming deadlines & unable to access #Pubmed for many hours, remember there are alternatives. Try searching for papers on #ResearchGate or #GoogleScholar for eg. Hoping this is a temporary situation. Reminded of this just now by my science partner - bless him. 🧪

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Elon fired another 1,400 workers at VA who help veterans get health care & benefits—with ZERO justification.

Many of those fired were veterans THEMSELVES. Given how thoughtless these layoffs have been, I am deeply alarmed about delays in veteran care & threats to patient safety.
