Covid just killed my father. This is irresponsible. It is not over, damnit.
It’s time to end the five-day isolation guidance for covid https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/12/covid-cdc-five-day-isolation-guidance/
This is exactly the kind of glossy, airbrushed image that the Washington Post and others usually go to when describing a mass shooter. So long as he’s white.
"The man behind a massive leak ... is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far-flung acquaintances searching for companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic."
Kudos to AFSA President Eric Rubin for highlighting this. When asked what has been the most dangerous aspect of my job as a foreign correspondent I always reply: “Sitting in the back seat of a Third World taxi.” https://afsa.org/road-safety-clear-and-present-danger
Senator Feinstein has missed 60 of 82 votes this year. Her absence from the Judiciary Committee has put an indefinite hold on all judicial nominations.
She must resign, and Newsom must appoint a replacement who would not seek a full term, like Barbara Boxer or Jerry Brown. https://jezebel.com/dianne-feinstein-is-mia-and-her-absence-is-holding-up-1850323457

"Another mass shooting
Another day of R's not giving a shit & useless thoughts & prayers
Another day where guns are more important than human lives."

Me: STOP the GD MADNESS NOW
Speaking as an anesthesiologist that's spent more time in labor and delivery than most non-obstetricians will spend in their lifetimes, I cannot stress this enough: innocent people will die if mifepristone is outlawed. And it won't be in a few weeks or months— it will happen within hours. Judges should not be practicing medicine. Full stop.
I have in my entire career so far treated zero complications of mifepristone, and maybe a half dozen from medical or surgical abortion overall. I have treated thousands of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) overdoses, scores of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) overdoses, and dozens of baclofen (Lioresal) and alprazolam (Xanax) overdoses. I’ve watched people die from aspirin overdoses and aspirin-related bleeds. This judge in Texas is a disingenuous lying scumbag.
US Vice President Kamala Harris is to meet with #Tennessee state legislators in Nashville this afternoon.
1. The House didn't do it; the Republicans did.
2. It's less a historic act when you then see it's nothing but the never-ending end to Reconstruction.
Tennessee House expels two Democrats in historic act of partisan retaliation https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/04/06/tennessee-democrats-expulsion/
McCarthy's challenge is "reaching a deal with President Biden to avert a catastrophic default on the nation’s debt as soon as this summer"???? argle bargle

RT @froomkin
"Staring Down a Debt Crisis"???? McCarthy CREATED the debt crisis. This vile stench of an article normalizes the notion of "negotiations" when it's a GOP-created hostage crisis. @jonathanvswan and @anniekarni, you're hurting America. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/06/…

Retired public health scientist who loves numbers. One of the highlights of my life was when my daughter counted to 270 on her EOY kindergarten evaluation. 🤣
I rarely (never?!) post. I used Twitter as a news source and continuing ed source. I very much appreciate all the historians and lawyers on twitter who have helped me understand....some history and law of the U.S.
I love emojis and dog pictures. :)
