When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.

A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”

That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.

I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

Most physicians know: Medicare Advantage isn’t healthcare, it’s a scam designed to line the pockets of big insurers and their C-suites.

It’s a privatized shell of Medicare—designed to dazzle the healthy, deny the sick, and enrich insurers. It inflates costs, restricts care, leads to worse outcomes in nearly every category.

…and Congress just padded its funding.

We’re not fixing the system. We’re feeding the monster.

Your 401k just became a 201k. And the fucking moron who did that to you is golfing the rest of the weekend in Miami. Let that sink in.

RFK Jr has been stating that the "anti-measles protection" of natural infection is better than vaccination

First - if he thinks measles is not bad for you, then why care how good or long lasting the immunity against it is??

Second - Measles is NOT good for you. Do not get it to gain immunity against it. Get a vaccine - it is SAFE

Hell, it is actually a live weakened virus vaccine - it is for all purposes a very mini infection. So, if you want an infection to give you immunity, then the vaccine does that too...

The arguments against a measles vaccine that are coming from HHS Secretary are beyond idiotic. They are self contradictory. If he wants to support public health he'd start by working to build bridges and trust. Not sow distrust of some of the safest medical interventions on the plant.

"It turns out that pets also have their own "last wishes" before they pass away, something only veterinarians who euthanize old or sick animals are aware of. A Twitter user, Jesse Dietrich, once asked a vet what the most challenging part of their job was. The vet responded without hesitation, explaining that the hardest part is witnessing how old or sick animals search for their owners before they fall asleep forever. Shockingly, 90% of owners choose not to stay in the room during their pet's final moments. They leave, unable to bear watching their beloved companion go. However, what they don’t realize is that these final moments are when their pet needs them the most.
Vets are urging pet owners to stay by their animals' sides until the very end. "It’s inevitable that they will pass before you. Remember, you were the center of their world. They may have been just a part of your life, but to them, you were everything—their family. Even though it’s heartbreaking, don’t abandon them in their final moments. Don’t let them die alone in an unfamiliar room with a stranger. It’s incredibly painful for vets to see pets frantically searching for their owners in their last minutes of life. They don’t understand why they’ve been left behind, and all they need is the comfort of their beloved human.
While veterinarians do everything they can to ease the fear and anxiety of these animals, they are still strangers to them. Don’t let your own pain make you walk away. Be brave for them. Endure that heartache, and stay by their side until the very end. They deserve your love and presence in their final moments. "💞🙏
