Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID.

If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

This is Bug. He would like to be picked up for cuddles. It is an emergency. 13/10 (IG: bugthebrusselsgriffon)

a teensy brown ball of fluff sits on a gray tile floor and looks up at the camera. the dog’s eyes are wide-set and pleading, and his little mouth curves down in a dramatic frown. his little body only takes up one half of one tile, and it looks like he could be swallowed up by shadows any second. pick him up!

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

We're celebrating three huge milestones in Kentucky:
✅the highest number of people working;
✅most jobs filled; and
✅the largest labor force since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics started recording these metrics.

Folks, we've got a lot to be proud of.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

I empty out my office today. I've been in the library world for thirty years (minus 6 when working retail). Bringing all that stuff home for me to stare at 😭
