You MUST watch this exchange from today’s Tx House debate on anti-library HB3225.

"When a US Attorney wields the power of his office to target medical journals bc of their content & editorial processes, he isn't doing his job. He's abusing his authority to try to chill protected speech." #saveourscience This is such bullshit.

My mother had polio before vaccines & recovered after a long illness. Sequelae followed her lifelong. She got us vaccinated.

We can find allies in those we see frequently as opponents.

Here’s yet another large study (~800k patients), out a few months ago, demonstrating, once again, that patients (especially female patients) are less likely to die when cared for by female physicians.

Nope. We don't. That's why we should observe "no buy Friday".
My shelves are overflowing with books. My closet can't fit any more clothes, most of which I haven't worn in years. My attic is filled to the brim.

All of the Black Friday shopping deals remind me that I'm drowning in stuff. Are you?
Do we really need more stuff?

How to respond if anyone tells you Trump has a mandate:

More voted against him than for him.

He barely eked out a plurality win.
His 1.6% margin over Harris is third smallest since 1888 (not a typo).

The House GOP will have one of the tiniest majorities.
