The invisible caregivers of our most vulnerable - most of whom are women - are already overburdened. What’s coming as a result of Medicaid changes is going to hurt so many.
Family caregivers worry over planned Medicaid cuts' impact
About 63 million Americans, or a quarter of adults over 18, take care of an older or disabled person at home, and many rely on Medicaid funding for help.

NEW: The Census Bureau is asking for states' input on #2030Census redistricting data, according to this Federal Register notice
www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...
SUMMARY: This notice announces the commencement of Phase 1 of the 2030 Census Redistricting Data Program: The Block Boundary Suggestion Project. Phase 1 specifically provides states the opportunity to supply the Census Bureau with their suggestions for the 2030 Census tabulation block inventory. Suggestions are made by designating the desirability of linear features for use as 2030 Census tabulation block boundaries. In addition, states have the opportunity to submit to the Census Bureau suggested legal boundary updates. These actions allow states to construct some of the small area geography they need for legislative redistricting. State participation in Phase 1 of the 2030 Census Redistricting Data Program is voluntary.

A consistent lesson of this devastating time has been that federal agencies you've never heard of do brilliant, crucial work that holds up your life in ways you've never thought about

Anyway, I'm here to tell you that the demographers at the National Center for Health Statistics are a treasure

imagine watching a small child struggle to breathe because of a measles infection and then going on your radio show to explain that the “human body was designed to fight measles” with the clear implication that if you die your body just wasn’t good enough.

Vinay Prasad was named as both the FDA’s chief scientific officer and chief medical officer TODAY. He immediately fired Nicole Verdun, who was in charge of cell and gene therapies.
