I went to my new dentist today and the entire clinical staff masks. Not all the office workers do, but everyone in the back does. No commentary, they just do. Almost like it's bullshit to claim it's impossible for health care professionals to mask at work.

Of course the greatest US president of the 20th century served this country from a wheelchair, so using mobility as an indicator of intellectual ability is both stupid and insulting, as is making a clickbait story out of something that didn't happen but someone said someone was thinking about.
Former President Joe Biden's physical deterioration was severe enough that aides discussed putting him in a wheelchair if he won a second term, new book says: cnn.it/457f2vV

Across the U.S., doctors are increasingly concerned that people with serious medical conditions are avoiding medical care out of fear of being apprehended by immigration officials. “The tragic message to these people is: Be a shadow and hope that you do not die,” one said. nyti.ms/4d4Wu1s

8. It is clear that this report does not represent an intent to pursue scientific accuracy or to protect trans youth, but rather is an ideological hit piece developed by affiliates of the Trump administration to give ad-hoc justification to growing attacks on gender affirming care.

On a serious note, I had wondered how Trump reign would be seen by the conclave. An African or Asian pope would be summarily dismissed by Americans. Now we have an American pope, I take that as a sign that the threat of American fascism and its effect on Europeans is being taken very seriously.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

Today's Chart of the Week: DOGE is not cutting the deficit
Because of cuts to revenue-generating services, Trump and Musk may be making government output more expensive on a unit-output-per-taxpayer-dollar basis. (In other words, less efficient)

Real federal spending is higher in 2025 so far than in past years, and DOGE is making it harder to raise revenue
