George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.
@BulwarkOnline Regular listener. One of my favorite episodes of all time. @algore was thoughtful, insightful and also with a sense of humor. Those damn chads.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to testify before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health as part of their hearing: Lowering Health Care Costs for All Americans: An Examination of the U.S. Provider Landscape.
I spoke about an issue that affects every patient, family physician in America: the rising cost of health care. Family physicians have seen firsthand how the cost of care impacts patients. Too often, people delay care, skip medications or struggle to follow treatment plans because they simply cannot afford them. No one should have to choose between getting medical care and meeting basic needs like food or housing.
During my testimony, I emphasized that strong primary care is one of the most effective ways to improve health outcomes and lower costs. I shared with lawmakers that meaningful progress will require thoughtful policy reforms, including modernizing physician payment, reducing administrative burdens like prior authorization and ensuring patients can access key primary care services without unnecessary cost barriers.
Family physicians are committed to caring for patients and communities every day. I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring their voices to Congress and to advocate for policies that strengthen primary care and improve the health of our nation.
Every human being and every religion is called to promote #Fraternity. In our time marked by growing conflict and division, we need authentic testimonies of human kindness and charity to remind us that we are all brothers and sisters. Words are not enough. Our love and deepest convictions need to be continually cultivated, and we do so through concrete actions. #ZayedAward
🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped.
Results?
• 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19
• 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality
• No increase in 4-year mortality
• Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause.
In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board. 🔥📉
