Then we can move on to the DTaP and Tdap components. We've already made great headway spreading pertussis. Would you like a little tetanus with your coffee, Sir?

Yikes. Just chicken pox, for me.
Mumps.
(In case you were habituating to reports of measles; gotta change it up.)
3/ "only to people 65 and older or those with an underlying medical condition";
🔹️allowed drug approvals "after companies have conducted one major study, rather than two."
Bad man, bad plans, glad gone (soon)! A pretty good week for firings; perhaps winter is waning at last.
2/ &"rebuffed calls for greater transparency";
🔹️rejected Moderna’s application for a new mRNA flu vax;
🔹️threatened FDA staff "who might leak information [&] publicly invited agency staff members who disagreed with him to resign."
🔹️changed the covid vaccine framework to advise giving the shot...
More reporting - Prasad:
🔹️overruled career scientists on vax approvals;
🔹️rejected treatments of rare diseases over pleas of "patients who have few options and biotech companies invested in developing cures";
🔹️opposed public advisory panel meetings for drugs

Great name! (Does he paint?) I had one in college named Potemkin, but he wasn't named for the Russian military leader (or the battleship), but for a theatre character named after the Russian.
Since then, I've been mostly literary, in my naming, & getting more and more esoteric with time.
Never too late to go get one....
*Makary (oops; very long day!)
(And really it was Laura Loomer who'd been behind the first firing; Makary, Prasad's boss at FDA, likes him.)
OMG, I hope it sticks this time!
Prasad is the devil. Markay fired him from the FDA in July, but he immediately came back like a fungus. Let's hope he's really gone, this time. Wowza.
(He claimed without evidence that the covid vax killed kids, btw.)

Yes, and cats help, too, apparently. But we already knew that, right?

What evidence do you have that it's Israel? Everyone save Iran seems to be stating that it's Iran.

Mind the ice; it's very slippy. Maybe just shriek into a pillow.
As AG, Merrick Garland prohibited DoJ political appointees from attending any partisan political or fundraising event (even those of family members). Bondi just rescinded that policy, b/c her DoJ is just for her own party, not for all of us.

God told *me* he doesn't know the guy....
That worm Gonzalas is quoted in the WaPo as saying of his coercive affair, "I've asked God to forgive me - which he has -...."
Rallying cry of corrupt conservative Christian politicians since forever (or in my memory, since Falwell's "moral majority"): "God is on my side, b/c I say he is, so you must be too, unless you disagree with God."
So frustrating that it still sells so well.

NYT update: "Senator Markwayne Mullin just arrived in a car for Senate votes. He said he had talked to President Trump before the statement went out on social media. 'We’re going to get on the same page, and do what things what we need to do,' he said."
What the what, now?
Unfortunately, there are lots of women who believe this stuff, too.
4/🔹️"Both genders felt women had more choice in dating and relationships (22%), household roles (24%) and the clothes they can wear (34%), while men were considered to have more choice in hobbies (18%) and jobs (39%)."
I have so many questions.
Study linked in here: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/almost-...
3/🔹️30% "believed men should not say 'I love you' to their friends, compared with 20% of baby boomer men and 21% of gen Z women."
🔹️21% said "men who took part in caregiving for children were less masculine than those who did not, compared with 8% of baby boomer men and 14% of gen Z females." ...
2/ with 12% of baby boomer men."
🔹️21% said "a 'real woman' should never initiate sex, compared with only 7% of baby boomer men."
🔹️59% "said men were expected to do too much to support equality, compared with 45% of baby boomer men. For women, the proportions were 41% and 30% respectively." ...
🧵Very alarming 29-country survey - though I want to see country-specific results, because cultural attitudes can vary enormously across societies.
Fun findings:
🔹️24% of gen Z men "think women should not appear too independent or self-sufficient, compared...

ONE DOWN.
Now Bondi - please, universe.

2/ I usually don't add it in cooking and I generally make my own soup, so when I have canned soup, it tastes like I'm licking a salt shaker. (OTOH, family members often are not fans of my soups, because they find them bland.)
Absolutely.
I had a friend in high school whose family swore off sugar, & she'd cringe when we drank soda b/c her taste buds had changed so much - she said she noticed it after a month of no added sugar, when she was offered a Pepsi (which she'd previously liked).
Where I notice it is with salt -
Yeah, I asked Google for the items with more than 100 g. of sugar, and a non-inclusive list of 7 of their products came back, the worst with 183 grams. That's *so much* more than the AHA recs as a daily max. In comparison: Google says their glazed donuts have 12-13 g. Donuts look better, now, huh.
I wish I could take him, but I can't. This is very, very sad.
Six apples in one drink?! Wthh? Your homemade sounds infinitely nicer, though I prefer my own kale cooked. (I make great soup.)
Again, I like apples, but more is not necessarily better. This is a concept many Americans have trouble with. And unfortunately,
their taste buds adjust to fit the menu.
3/ of that from HHS.
2/ happen to be in bed with (as he is with the beef, pork, dairy, & fast food industries). But my point was that this is an idiotic stance for Dems to be taking.
Dunkin Donuts, while offering tasty items, sells fat & sugar; it's in the name. Dems shouldn't argue anti-health positions; we get enough
