Fervently proud mom. Aspiring hermit. Oddly enough, married to the most social man on earth. 🤷🏽‍♀️

If you’re not watching The Pitt on Max, you’re missing out.

Best new medical drama in years!

Let’s just remember that a mere year ago, Republicans hated EVs 🤣

What's behind the Republican hatred of EVs?
Republicans are predicting that electric vehicles "won't exist" and aren't "part of the future." Many are eager to make that a reality.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

They are going to fucking kill us for tax breaks.
CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

For decades, the U.S. has funded science, then left scientists to direct their own work. Science has flourished, and the country has benefited. Now the government is testing just how much it can renegotiate that relationship, @katherinejwu.com writes:

I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Asking federal employees to turn on each other is madness, but it’s reminiscent of madness we’ve seen before.

In his inaugural address, President Trump said he will invoke the Alien Enemies Act to carry out mass deportations.

Discriminating against immigrants based on their place of birth or ancestry violates constitutional rights.
