Yup. It's really the perfect metaphor for all his crimes:

Abuse of process
Open corruption
Destruction of the notion of "public"
Bad taste

All during a government shutdown necessitated by tax cut for some of the zillionaires who paid for the ball room.

Trump has done many many many many many things that are worse than this, but I bet this is one of the things that turns people.

This is how I feel about NIRS monitoring in the NICU and why I am evaluating how various medications and interventions affect kidney oxygenation.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

@rnflex.bsky.social What are the longest study’s on GLPs currently? Are any at 5 or 10 year outcomes. They seem to be magic, but are there any adverse outcomes?

78% of Americans support keeping health care tax breaks in place – including 57% of Trump supporters.

Why? Because this isn’t a partisan issue for working families.

Millions of Americans – no matter their party affiliation – don’t want their health care costs to skyrocket.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

As of 8am CDC's ACIP website does not have the proposed vote language for today's COVID vaccine recommendation posted. How is the public able to engage and provide informed comments? I testified before Senator Cassidy and @sanders.senate.gov on Wednesday- this is not radical transparency.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Yes, and mRNA vaccines are also now on the brink of curing horrible deadly cancers. They are truly game-changing.

To sacrifice them on a political altar of COVID contrarianism is simply folly.

Trish Greenhalgh @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social · Sep 3

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

At our level 3, we don’t have any surgeries but have the busiest DR in the state. Here we have close to 40 typical census, and 2 Neos/teams during day and one at night.

We have a level 4 unit that sounds similar - but not the same. We don’t have DR coverage because of a free standing children’s hospital. We handle transport and consult calls from the region including telehealth. Our typical census is close to 20, and we have two Neos/teams during day, one at night.

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.
