@thejamesmacon @ClutchPoints Spencer Jones was pushed back by the Heat player, and landed on Joker's foot

@DarkagePossum @jjpluska @atwaSDOK @Acyn What do you think this means:
"and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador."

@flinghammerr @JRRothschild13 @SenatorCarter Seems like he's serious about universal baseline tariffs. We'll see what happens in a week.

@MikeGardocki @chaoslife22 @x_facts_matter @roddreher The place to litigate that is an immigration hearing. I haven't heard how he escaped Venezuela, but it's possible he flew or sailed to Mexico en route to Tijuana. Again, even if he did the process wrong, he's entitled to an immigration hearing with representation

@TerranceJones80 @SallyMayweather @BillAckman @realDonaldTrump Think about what you just said for a minute. How is threatening US consumers with higher prices supposed to provide leverage?

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@DigBabby @ErinInTheMorn It's definitely coming back

@yvalley @gorskon Maybe Dad clips a hangnail and then Mom uses the same clippers to trim baby's nails. Or if we're not vaccinating anymore and have more hbv+ kids out in the world, a bite at daycare or scrape on the same slide on the playground could do it

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@yvalley @gorskon Yeah there needs to be blood exposure, but that's not uncommon.

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@yvalley @gorskon Yes, while those are the easiest ways to spread it, there are other ways to pick it up. It stays alive on surfaces for a long time and is pretty contagious. A child's most likely way is putting something in their mouth, or innocent contact with a family member carrier

@TigerlillySusan @PedsGeekMD Trump is an antivaxer when he thinks it will benefit him

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@yvalley @gorskon Yes, it's a chronic disease with no cure that can be spread unknowingly, and it's much more likely to lead to bad outcomes when contracted as a child.

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@AWeirdSpotNTime @gorskon Is this weighted to reflect life expectancy and discovery of new diseases? Most people get chronic disease as they age, so if people are living longer, those rates will go up. Likewise, we only discovered Hep C (for example) in 1989 – no way to know its prevalence before then

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@jokathryn238 @russ62960450 @WendyHassonMD They are usually. But that's not the only way a child can be exposed

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@jokathryn238 @russ62960450 @WendyHassonMD There are good reasons for it, mostly the risk of environmental exposure or inadvertent exposure from an asymptomatic family member. Children are more likely to develop chronic infection if exposed. It's been on the vaccine schedule for more than 30 years now

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@russ62960450 @jokathryn238 @WendyHassonMD Parents are free to say no. It's not recommended, though, because there are lots of asymptomatic carriers and the virus persists in the environment longer than most others. Mothers who don't want to vaccinate should definitely be tested before delivery

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@jokathryn238 @russ62960450 @WendyHassonMD Because hep b is a chronic disease with no cure. Best way to keep infections low for public health purposes is early vaccination

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@russ62960450 @WendyHassonMD That is an antivax stance

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@PayNoTack @AeonCoin @mattyglesias Both of Trump's campaigns were explicitly and bombastically anti free trade

[Matt Barber @brbrofsvl]

@BillMancone @regstagram @mattyglesias The trouble is that with general research, nobody knows in advance which ones will have turned out to have any positive results. And there's still tons of value in finding out what we don't know
