The US minimum wage sends the message to employers that trapping vulnerable people in poverty is perfectly okay.

There isn’t anything you can say to make it better. If there was, then cancer wouldn’t be a big deal. Loved ones, friends, doctors and nurses: be with us, if you can. Sit alongside us in our pain. I know it’s hard. That’s why it means so much. #cansky #graphicmedicine

Never seen anything like the power outage hitting Spain/Portugal right now. Regions of Spain, Portugal, France hit. Mayor of Madrid tells residents to stay home if they can. Traffic lights out. ATMs, too. Airports dark. "The interruption was due to a problem in the European electricity grid"

At issue is a case testing the reach of federal laws that promise special help for children with disabilities in public schools. Specifically: What do parents have to prove in order to get that specialized help?

“This doesn't feel like a strategic plan to reorganize and make the NIH better and more efficient. It feels like a wrecking ball,” says an NIH insider, who asked 60 Minutes to protect his identity due to his concern about reprisal. https://cbsn.ws/3EKcER9

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Biden, 52%: “low end approval” Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”

Trump is literally selling access to the President of the US to anyone in the world, for untraceable cash, with minimum prices in the $millions, likely to raise Trump $100s of millions.

A poll trend that I'd be extremely interested in seeing data on is Trump's approval rating among Latinos since Jan '25. Exit polls in 2024 suggested Trump did better with this group than in 2016 or 2020, but the administration's recent actions will surely lose it popularity in many communities.

Hearing how current Admin is concerned about early birth (low birthweight) kids. As our population increases, humans are putting so much pollution into the air. 2nd leading cause of death!! If current admin is so worried, they shouldn't be rolling back environmental regulations. Serious disconnect.

“you can think of measles cases as a probe for whether we are paying attention…While measles is often first, it is a harbinger of problems to come.” Highly recommend ‘Booster Shots’ by @adamratnermd.bsky.social. Crucial for understanding the history of measles and what the future likely holds.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Further grant terminations from NSF. I don't yet have a list of what has been cut. It's been hard to concentrate today when every email ping could a notice from NSF that another of our grants is being terminated.

The average life expectancy in the U.S. has increased by 10 years since 1960 due to vaccines, and better disease prevention, diagnosis, and management. This increased lifespan would quite obviously carry with it a higher rate of chronic disease diagnosis. But RFK Jr. thinks it’s seed oils.
