DOGE continues to mock the very concept of 'efficiency' with wasteful foolishness. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yeah, still not sure why 'Muslims for Trump' was remotely a thing that people thought to be reasonable. www.jpost.com/internationa...

Basically my mood every time one of my patients with a cold asks for antibiotics for their sinuses. #Medsky #IDSky

Thanks as always to @paulsaxmd.bsky.social for this clear and inciteful bit of news on just how bad this year has been for influenza, and a reminder as to how shortsighted it is to hinder surveillance efforts. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...

I doubt that Nancy was presciently predicting the rise of jack-booted madmen, but here we are. This song goes out to all you fine folks in the American electorate. May there be mercy on us all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbyA...

For pity's sake, don't let those fools interfere with our childhood vaccination schedule, it's there for a reason. #Medsky #IDSky #PedSky

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.
