Doctor here.

A pregnant mother in Tennessee was denied care for being unmarried.

This is legal under Tennessee's Medical Ethics Defense Act.

We are entering a dark time in public health.

I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic:
August 1814:
British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings.
July 2025:
Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.

When, not if, our society decides to finally enforce laws and hold the American Fascist Party responsible for its actions, I hope there is no more delays and waffling. These people belong in prison. There are too many double standards when it comes to celebrities and politicians.

Farmers are losing their field workers, just as foreign customers are retaliatory-tariffing US crops. So: ultimate question: When your small family farm fails how little (pennies on the dollar?) will big ag have to pay to acquire your land - and is that the whole point of the exercise?

My weekend post: revisits Jimmy Carter as Iran takes center stage, alongside the most opposite-to-Carter (and opposite-to-Jesus) human being ever to occupy the White House. You know some of the contrasts. You do NOT know the most pertinent ones.

the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸

Pass it on!

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

(CNBC) Once again, RFK, Jr. is fulfilling our expectations for him. He has retired (actually fired) all 17 members of his CDC advisory panel for vaccines. He will replace them with people of his choice. Anyone worried about what he'll do? I am.

RFK Jr. removes all members of CDC panel advising U.S. on vaccines
It's the latest move by Kennedy – a prominent vaccine skeptic – to change and potentially undermine vaccinations in the U.S. since he took the helm at HHS.

I think we should start talking seriously about what post-MAGA/Trump will look like. We know we can do better and solve problems. We can’t just be the opposition.

Putting a lying smiley-face on Trump's 25% cut in the NASA budget. FAR MORE than 25%, when you take into account that Artemis and manned Mars are also ways to sabotage US space endeavors that might actually do good things. Plus other science sabotages plus reaming the US officer corps and FBI...

I’m very proud that Cory Booker is taking the stand that he is right now. I have to ask, though, what’s next? When do we actually recognize the illegality of this president and make him exit? How does that even work? Do the courts have the power to actually stop him?
