Wow. A big tip of the Stetson to Jon Stewart. A master class in the art of a news making interview.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

There were many powerful moments in Jon Stewart's special on trans people.

But the where Jon tells Arkansas AG Rutledge that he would go through hell or high water if he had a trans kid, and that her law was "antithetical to the values she professes to espouse."

I cried.

@dclieb @EVMSMedicine @EVMSedu If your department includes NPs/PAs, I would prioritize involving them in conversations about the department (retreats, too)! #PartnersInPractice

The passage of legislation that would limit the cost of #insulin for #Medicare patients has restored hope for many. ADA’s Chief Advocacy Officer, Lisa Murdock told AP, “It’s devastating for a family to have to make those choices”. https://t.co/1jnQxsO6qB #HealthEquityNow
