That just is not true. Please stop these ridiculous talking points. I have gone to stand with these families every single year for a decade now. My friends and neighbors are not crying for 6 hours straight. We are greeting each other, hugging each other, laughing at the memories and the jokes the families tell remembering their loved ones. Most politicians do not stay the entire time, in fact every year, at the end it is usually just me and former mayor Mike Bloomberg. This year was different @NYCMayor did. He stayed for every name and even stayed after to talk to families for 45 minutes. My friend who works for the memorial, even told me it was a new record. @AOC , for the record was there at 7:30 am and also stayed for every name and this brief moment they said was of them laughing was just when she walked up to him and said hello.

When I said hello to him with my daughter he even whispered to me after our hug “hi my friend! Hi Zoe! Sorry I didn’t see you, I’m super focused on the stage right now.” And he was. He listened to every story and every name and was there for our community of lower Manhattan. We appreciate you both.

I hope these gross talking points will end.

Good. When a late pregnancy goes wrong and doctors are fighting to save the mother's life, they shouldn't be distracted worrying whether some Bible-thumping lunatic will try and send them to prison.

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

We spent years calling people misogynistic for saying “periods are disgusting” only to arrive at “pregnancy is gross.” Surely, this is what progress looks like.

The irony is that Operation Warp Speed is the only good thing Trump has ever done in his life, and he has to deny it because his party of irredeemable dipshits hates it.

LOL. Damn, that’s funny.

If you trust RFK Jr. but not Dr. Fauci, you’re a fucking idiot.

[Scott Barber @thescottbarber]

The cumulative COVID-19 death rate was lower in Democratic states than it was in Republican states, and it was substantially lower in Canada than it was in the states. And that is the fault of people who did not want to participate in life saving public policy, not the fault of Anthony Fauci.

Dr. Fauci, who saved millions of lives in the USA, is getting treated harsher than all the Epstein perpetrators. USA is fundamentally damaged to its core.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite that RFK Je. directed the CDC to stop monitoring. But at least now my county courthouse is flying the Confederate flag again.

I hate (hate) to defend doctors but the tech people clamoring for scans on demand are minimizing the downsides. I’ve experienced the opposite - MRI showed something a little weird and I went through painful and invasive testing for something that turned out to be nothing.

As someone who works with transgenic mouse models for cancer research, this is objectively one of the funniest things I’ve seen a real life politician post

PAP SMEARS ARE MILDY UNCOMFORTABLE AND EMBARRASSING AT WORST. STOP FEARMONGERING. STOP LIVING IN FEAR!!!!! you know what’s more painful than a pap smear? CERVICAL CANCER.

Just to be clear, banning SSRIs is an extremely bad idea.

SSRIs have a sort-of 'hatedom' online, but the NNTs are still very low.

These drugs save lots of lives and pulling them is a horrible idea that will result in immediate death with little upside.

A new parachute design comes out

Should it be tested to compare it against

a) The old parachute design

b) No parachute at all

Now do you see the problem with demanding placebo controlled trials for every vaccine??
