Everything Is Tuberculosis will be #6 on next week's New York Times bestseller list. It's still there after 13 weeks! It's a book about tuberculosis! I am so grateful! Sorry for the exclamation points but this is kinda extraordinary!

Pete Buttigieg suggested he would “assess” a 2028 presidential run.
While visiting Iowa, he said in a live interview that he'd consider “what I bring to the table.”

He vaulted onto the national stage in 2020 out of South Bend, Indiana. This time, his calculus looks different.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last
This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

I'll be honest - I don't want to do my own research. I want to have trusted doctors and scientists who can produce peer reviewed data and best practices and tell me how best to keep my kids safe.

Pete Buttigieg is not working for anybody. He just sees that there’s a need for Democratic messaging across all platforms regardless of political affiliation of the platform. That is true public service. I hope this man runs for president.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Oh they definitely didn’t care about exposure. I kept seeing people say, “Kids are low risk.”
And I kept responding, “There are other people in the school building besides the children.”🙃

We definitely saw that it was daycare for many during the panny. They were furious that the kids were home with them. Some didn’t give a fuck that teachers could be exposed as well as their families.
Lots of parents no longer care about learning & education. Schools are just child care. They don't respond to the attempts to reach them. They bring them late, remove them early, and let them miss days on days. Too many just want somewhere to drop them off for free.

I hate that for ages the only exposure any of us had to PMDD as a concept was a medication commercial that doesnt actually explain it
Like I spent years telling doctors "I get suicidally depressed 1x/mo, but its only for 5 days so I just power through it" and having them go "Oh that seems fine"

I really do not understand the attacks on medications that help people work and live: antidepressants, stimulants, opioids, etc.
These classes of medications are what make people functional.
Yes, sometimes natural interventions are not sufficient, and you need help from a medication.
