Just saw a truth social post, I think. Can never really be sure. Anyway, I remember the early days of Facebook. Why does the president post messages like he's an 18 year old college student who just discovered it?

Neither your health nor the quality of your healthcare should depend on what your job is willing to provide, what your insurance will cover, or how much you can afford to pay.

Looking forward to learning from/connecting with others committed to improving health at the ARCHI State of Metro Atlanta Health event today.

Until we can have a single payer universal system, we have to do something about health insurance.

Health insurance companies should NOT be for-profit entities.

Health insurance companies should be non-profits.

If they cared about premiums increasing, then you'd be right. The fact they were unwilling to negotiate at all suggests they believe their supporters won't abandon them and/or they will continue to lie so they look like the heroes.

Food banks were not created to support on-going food needs. There are often limitations to how much and how often ppl can receive food. If you truly care about people going without food, advocate for policies and programs, like the food stamps program, that help people supplement their income.

Funny how people will get upset when they think someone is “abusing the system” but won't think twice about corporations doing the same.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of enjoying a #Costco hot dog & noticed something was off. The size of the bun did not match the length of the hot dog. I'm hoping this discrepancy is temporary & was just an issue w/the bun order. If not, I consider this bun-to-dog discrepancy a #recession #indicator.

Journals and publishers crack down on research from open health data sets PLOS, Frontiers, and others announce policies trying to stem the tide of suspect research

"Frontiers has announced a similar change, requiring editors to automatically reject papers that use public health data sets without some kind of “external validation.” www.science.org/content/arti...

LOL. It must have been the full moon. Luckily, there aren't that many articles so it won't be too much trouble.... It's just a pain having to re-do it.😮‍💨

Well, my week is off to a great start! 😮‍💨 Working on a systematic review for my general exam. I open the data extraction form that I finalized over the weekend and realize that the changes I made were not saved. 🙃🥲😒 #phdsky #phdlife #academicsky #academicchatter #blackademia #sciencesky #blackademics

I never would have expected to see Reagan or Bush express empathy for undocumented families. If this is real, seeing how far right the republican party has shifted made me unbelievably sad... www.c-span.org/clip/public-...

I've been saying for years those that control the purse strings love to waste money on ineffective strategies and then scream there isn't enough money for effective strategies.

I'm going to have to re-watch this!

I haven't seen it in awhile but from what I remember 1. she was always an annoying character but not this annoying 2. It's like they told her to be the most annoying "extra woke" White women she could possibly be and everything came across as overacting. 3. 😂 you might be right.

I do not understand why they made her re-booted character so unbearable.

Who doesn't want universal healthcare?

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

What does it even mean to be a conservative or a Republican in 2025?

Surprised Thom Tillis opposed the the bill but appreciate his willingness to do so.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent' NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sahil Lavingia, who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency as a software engineer assigned to the Department of Veterans Affairs, about his experience.

Govt wastes $$$ by not fully investing in the most effective strategies (e.g., housing vouchers or raising the min. wage to address family homelessness). But, I am not surprised that fraud & abuse is "relatively nonexistent". I am surprised he believed Elon wanted transparency. tinyurl.com/2tbwhzyb
