This is what the response should be from everyone

UTK Prez Randy Boyd, a former GOP candidate for governor, is among those signing the letter raising the alarm🚨 about Trump & Musk canceling NIH funding impacting Tennessee: “We cannot replace lost federal support & sustain the same level of research.” www.knoxnews.com/story/news/p...

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 use of a reduced-sodium, added-potassium salt substitute significantly reduced the risks of stroke recurrence and death and is a novel and practical therapeutic option for patients with stroke. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Canada’s new Rural Community Immigration Pilot offers permanent residence to skilled workers who want to work and settle in rural and more remote communities. 14 pilot communities will approve certain employers to hire for jobs that they can’t fill with local workers. More info here:

The #hfweek2025 topic today is risk for mortality associated with worsening heart failure. As demonstrated here in this graphic, patients with WHF are at a 40-60% risk of death, far higher than ASCVD risk and much higher than in many other disease processes.

As someone with heart failure, it is important to stay educated to stay healthy.

Awesome news.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

From one of our pediatricians:

I have already sent to two to the ED this morning. Happy Friday!

We used to wage wars on poverty and fight Nazis and now we elect Nazis and wage war on poor people.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

I’m hearing all the time from federal workers, nonprofits, LGBTQIA+ Americans, immigrant families, and others in our community who have been targeted and harmed by the president’s actions. I wrote this letter about our path forward.

As a Marine Corps veteran and VA patient, I know firsthand how critical the VA is to our community. Today, I’m amplifying a powerful statement from @senatorblumenthal.bsky.social on the dangerous gaps in Trump’s VA hiring freeze exemptions. #VeteransDeserveBetter 🧵

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today. RFK Jr.’s “confirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthy” www.seattletimes.com/opinion/a-nu...

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

The “A” in DEIA stands for accessibility. Federal workers with disabilities, including many veterans, deserve respect and the opportunity to work in public service. A diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace makes public service better and makes everyone’s lives better.

NIH frozen funds for Tennessee projects.

I don't know if regular people will ever realize how insane it was that we literally did not have a flu or RSV season in January 2021.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

(Feeling vulnerable. Might delete later.) I can barely open social media anymore. When I do, it's just to quickly post thoughts like this or a photo I think others might get joy from. This world is getting darker and I am definitely not equipped to stand firm against that bitter wind 24/7. 1/4

The Supreme Court is signaling that is going to eliminate the requirement that insurance cover health screenings this summer. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Apparently all 28 million people on here are writing a novel except for me.

Every time I read a retrospective on COVID I remember the early days, when people published commentaries about the 1918 flu pandemic, how it was SO WEIRD that that whole thing just got memory-holed, how did that happen so many people died? Covid now has >20 million. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
