I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

The HPV vaccine is CRUSHING cervical cancer and at this rate will eliminate it!!

An anti cancer vaccine!

It's a modern medical miracle

RFK Jr is, of course, against it

He'd rather your daughter get cervical cancer than a vaccine

This is why we can never have an honest discussion about Covid policy tradeoffs… unless/ until we acknowledge that “harm” wasn’t only about whether or not you lived or died…

Reminder: If voting requires you to spend $165 on a passport, that’s a poll tax. We made those unconstitutional in 1964. The SAVE Act is voter suppression.

🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.

Something I realized when I became a parent is there's a window of time when your parents are healthy, your kids are little, and everyone gets to experience multiple generations of family spending time together. Cherish this time and don’t take a single moment of it for granted.

Kenny Cox died this morning. He was a firefighter and an enormous champion for his fellow firefighters in the District of Columbia. Kenny’s work as a long-time union official greatly improved their lives and their safety. It also made DC a safer place for all. Kenny fought for resources at a time when working fire engines and fire trucks became scarce. As a young firefighter, he won a key First Amendment lawsuit protecting the right to speak out about policies and actions impacting the well-being of firefighters and the public. I encourage you to read this 2011 article I wrote about @IAFF36 putting Kenny’s name on its building.

Through the years, Kenny gave me some of my best stories about firefighters. Still, he was rarely in the spotlight, preferring to work quietly behind the scenes. Whether the news was good or bad, he gave reporters the truth. Kenny knew his credibility was his most important commodity. We are all better for knowing Kenny Cox.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?

Dahl: Yes

Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%

Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

@GayBearRes I feel like it's our responsibility to make sure our parents are taken care of not to do it ourselves. There are plenty of Assisted Living or home health aids available in Florida. And please make sure all your financial documents are in a row now

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

I disagree with the Department of Justice going after Yale School of Medicine over DEI admissions policies and arguing that objective metrics like GPA and MCAT scores should dominate admissions decisions.

The evidence does not support the idea that standardized test scores alone identify the best physicians.

The MCAT predicts performance on other multiple-choice exams reasonably well. What MCAT scores do NOT predict are clinical judgment, communication, bedside skill, or physician performance. Put another way: doctors who test well tend to do well on examinations. But test scores do not predict how well they care for patients in clinics, hospitals, surgery, or real-world medicine.

Meanwhile, more diverse physician workforces are associated with better preventive care, greater trust, improved access, and lower mortality in underserved communities. There is no objective evidence that excluding minority applicants within a reasonable score range improves patient outcomes.

We need minority physicians in this country, and we have the data to prove why.
So when people insist that “objective measures” alone should determine admission into medicine — while ignoring the evidence about what actually improves patient care — I increasingly see that argument as less about merit and more about preserving exclusion under the comforting language of statistics.
