The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.” It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide. It’s perfectly fine as it is. Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

1. The executive orders did not freeze federal funding. 2. The Monday OMB memo did freeze federal funding. 3. OMB rescinded Monday’s memo, thereby rescinding the funding freeze. 4. The EOs (which did not freeze federal funding) are still in effect—and, for these purposes, irrelevant. Sigh.

I know we’re tired of being asked to tip for everything. But the people who work the next week… they’re working so WE can holiday. Overtip if you can. But if you can’t, write a glowing review. Scream praise on Yelp. Tell a supervisor they deserve a promotion. And if this is you, thank you!
