RN of 50 years, including Public Health Nursing, concerned with US healthcare. RFK, Jr. anywhere near our healthcare system is a disaster in the making. Tuberculosis, Measles & Bird Flu, yet CDC reporting is gagged. Can’t make it up!

So, Ghislane Maxwell now resides in Texas in a minimal security “camp” after meeting with Trump’s former personal attorney, now DOJ Deputy AG. Nothing to see here! Just some special perks to keep someone quiet is my guess. The Epstein/Maxwell survivors and families must be outraged!

I still can’t figure out why the taxpayers of this country have to pay for FBI security details for the girlfriend of the Director.

Surprised there isn’t more reporting of Trump’s actions this week to remove nursing as a professional degree. While despicable, it is further evidence of his disdain for women, in a profession where the majority is compromised of women.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. He’s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I'm truly surprised that this regime finds it politically acceptable to head into the holiday season with high food prices, no SNAP, people starting to see how much more their health insurance will be, Federal employees not being paid, and airports doomed to be utter shitshows.

Thank you, Norfolk! Take it from President @barackobama.bsky.social — there’s too much at stake to sit Tuesday’s election out.
This is our opportunity to chart a new course forward for Virginia — and your vote will set an example for the rest of the country along the way.
