News: The American Academy of Pediatrics says it will no longer take part in the process of ACIP meetings. “We won’t lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children’s health,” the group's president says. www.statnews.com/2025/06/25/c...

Jake Scott: I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong | The Conversation theconversation.com/im-a-physici...

In one week, I get to escape and live in the world of Phish for 3 days. Will there still be shitty anti-vax politics and Jew hatred on the timeline? Yes. But I’ll be distracted enough to ignore it for a few days and I really need that.

RFK Jr is like if a genie made this cartoon guy come to life

The Bear is back!

The only pediatrician in Congress absolutely nailed it today. Maybe we should send more…

Went to the eye doctor and ONLY had an eye exam. No new glasses or sunglasses. Pretty proud of myself since my spending lately is out of control. Kids and Phish are expensive habits.

🥵🥵🥵🥵 Got an hour? “Tweezer” → “Mercury” → “Tweezer” → “Pillow Jets” → “Tweezer” from Phish’s 6/22/2025 show at SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH is now up at Phish’s YouTube channel in its entirety → www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLLN...

FYI for tonight:

oh hey I know how we could have prevented all of this

This is a difficult moment for the vast majority of American Jews, who are supportive of Israel, concerned about the security and safety of the Israeli people and Jews in the U.S. and around the world, and fearful that President Trump lacks a clear strategy about what happens next with Iran.

Anyone looking for a peds cardiology job in Portland, OR? The private practice group at Randall Children’s Hospital is hiring. It’s a great non academic group with an opportunity to practice both inpatient and outpatient cardiology with a small CT surgery program www.pccoforegon.com/careers/bc-b...

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Was out shopping after dinner and I bought the Birks and cute as shit new Vuori blue sweatshirt because we’re all going to die in WWIII anyway.

In honor of Juneteenth my office is closed. Shout out to everyone celebrating! My son and I are taking advantage and going to the movies and then I have dinner plans with a friend. It’s nice to have time that I’m either not working or not traveling. I’ve really over scheduled myself 😂

Phish tour starts tomorrow. As a reminder, you CAN set up notifications on Bluesky from accounts you're interested in.

Happy Juneteenth! #BaltimoreRavens #RavensFlock #NFL #RavensNation

🧠 What does Juneteenth mean for jam band fans? Phans for Racial Equity co-founders Malcolm Howard & Adam Lioz break it down in this powerful guest essay. "There is no jam band music without the Black American experience." 📖 Read now www.jambase.com/article/june...

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

This will harm kids. This IS discrimination. WTF?

My commute is so much quicker and nicer now that school is out. Happy summer!

I had to work yesterday so couldn’t attend but shout out to my city of San Diego for an amazing turnout at the #NoKings March. So proud!

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there who don’t refer to taking care of their own children as “babysitting.”

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

There is escalating war, mass deportations, increasingly anti-science & antivax decisions by government, and apparently Bonnaroo is canceled. But today my husband would have turned 52 so I’m celebrating him with a cake he would have loved. And pleased to announce my doorbell randomly works now 😁

Because I can’t have a day without something annoying me (aside from politics which is everyday), my Google Nest doorbell had to be reset after my WiFi went out and now I can’t get it to chime indoors or send notifications, so if you come over just knock 🤦🏼‍♀️

I told you we’d be back

Very timely that we will start doing fluoride varnish on our patients in the office considering the current administration wants to get rid of fluoride in the water.

RFK Jr appoints new members of ACIP who have and will undermine confidence in vaccines. x.com/SecKennedy/s...
