President Trump has the lowest net approval rating at the start of a presidential term since modern polling began with Dwight Eisenhower in 1953. The majority of Americans disapprove of the decisions and actions he has taken so far.

Texas measles outbreak update: 124 cases, 18 hospitalized, & now the first death of a child, who was not vaccinated.

Tragic, preventable, & a direct consequence of the deadly lies spread by anti-vaxx grifters, one of whom is now the most powerful health official in the US.

Our aviation, maritime shipping, overland shipping and agriculture depend on NOAA. Vital for the economy. Right-wing goon tried to privatize NOAA during Trump 1.0. Michale Lewis' book The Fifth Risk discusses this.

My colleague, Nobu, returned from a visit with his family in Japan. He brought me a treat to celebrate his birthday - a delicate, layered sponge cake.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate. The Nelson Atkins Museum hosted a beautiful celebration. The Dragon Dancers from the University of Kansas were so energetic, engaging, and playful.

It’s come to my attention ICE is in my city targeting international grocery stores. I work in health care and I will refuse to cooperate if they show up at my hospital (they have done that before in other states). It is against privacy laws to indicate legal status to an outside party.

When all you have is a gun, everything looks like a target.

Firearm-related deaths are a #publichealth crisis. We need to use all possible measures to reduce them.
