As you likely vote yes, remember you're a physician. Don't vote party lines. Vote you protect those who elected you. There are a rising number of measles cases. #vaccinessavelives
Senate HELP Chair Bill Cassidy (R), a doctor, tells RFK his “decades criticizing vaccines” and “using selective evidence to cast doubt” doesn’t sit well with him.
He sounds undecided on how to vote.
“I’ve been struggling with your nomination,” Cassidy says.

This isn't South African politics where you can pay people off. We need to exemplify democracy and checks and balances.
The judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, just like Congress and the presidency. When Musk & his cronies do illegal things, it's their JOB to step in and block them.
Musk may get to be a dictator at Tesla — he doesn't get to be one in Washington.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
