Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

I just found out there is a BEAUTIFUL senior cat named MRS. DOUBTFIRE up for adoption in Centre County, Pennsylvania! So, of course, I had to spread the word. If you’re in Central Pennsylvania, please help this elegant lady find a home! centrecountypaws.org/cats/adopt
If anyone in or around Northeast Ohio (he’s currently near Akron) would be interested in helping this sweet pup out let me know!

Shematologist, MD@shematologist.medsky.social · 9mo agoIt’s the most wonderful time of the year! Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week… And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them. Let’s feed some more people 🍎 hcwvshunger.org
It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time: 1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society 2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth
So hey. I'm reading through some of the public comments, and there aren't that many, tbh.. And some of them are in *support* of repealing regulations/making everyone choke on their big-truck air. Your voice *definitely* matters here.
Jodi Meadows@jodimeadows.bsky.social · last yr.US folks: Did you know the EPA (currently run by someone more concerned with businesses than the environment) has a public-comment period right now? This is our opportunity to tell them why we think they should not repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding. www.epa.gov/regulations-...
mentorpl.org/biggerthanth... The Ohio Senate has cut library funding by 25 million. In addition, similar to Florida, they are seeking to restrict any books that express gender identity expression. Governor Dewine has until tomorrow (June 30th) to veto the bill. Below is a link to Govern Dewine.

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

I had lunch at 10am today. My body is apparently needing to fuel probably the 314 mychart messages I responded to over the course of the past few weeks.
In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

How did the UPMC #MedPeds Residency use experiences, attributes, & metric domains to develop & implement rubrics to aid in a holistic review of applicants? @aem204.bsky.social, Allie Dakroub, John Szymusiak, & Alda Maria Gonzaga share the details: journals.lww.com/academicmedi...

Medical tech hasn’t solved that I have to write a letter to fax to a pharmacy to discontinue a patient’s medication instead of being able to send an electronic discontinue order. So maybe we could work on stuff like that before deciding that AI is the next big thing in medicine.
on this date eight years ago, Tom Holland wowed Zendaya on Lip Sync Battle with his cultural critique of impervious surface stormwater runoff.
When the AI generated visit note is so bad you have to type the damn thing over again. Which is honestly like most visits
Tired of this respiratory season. Home with a sick child again only to go in this afternoon to see patients to accrue more work I won’t have the time to chart on or have time to follow up labs on. And also covering a colleague’s inbox. And on call. 🫠
