If a mother has to pay a copay to get a doctor’s note to stay home from work to care for her sick kid, a senator should certainly be required to do the same for his employer when he’s out sick. Do our political institutions not have HR departments?

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

As I drive my car down the freeway, there is nothing I can do to stop it from driving into the cars around me…except pulling my foot off the gas, stepping on the brakes, steering in a different direction, not driving in the first place…

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

I'm An ICU Doctor. I’m Haunted By What I’ve Seen During The Recent COVID-19 Surge.

“I can’t stop thinking about the 40-something man who told me, ‘I can’t die like this. I just got engaged and have a 6-month-old baby.’ I encouraged him to be positive, but that didn’t stop him from d...

I thought we had settled that dumb was spelled with a B. Or have we TACO’d on this one too?

I’m looking forward to an election in my lifetime where someone posts “you know. This one isn’t too important. Vote. Don’t vote. Whatever.” (Because my Nana said I couldn’t complain if I didn’t vote, I will be voting. But in a chill way.)

Exactly 3 months from today is the most important midterm election in our lifetime. Our opportunity to hold him accountable. Register to vote here: Iwillvote.com The stakes have never been higher. Show the world the majority of Americans are good, decent, honest people. #VoteBlue🗳️ #RejectMAGA 👎

Heed the warning.

I didn’t think he could sink lower. What a disgusting disgraceful deplorable nepo baby piece of 💩

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Does anyone have standing to bring a lawsuit against some guy who vandalized the American people’s reflecting pool by driving across it?

Remember, he DROVE HIS MOTORCADE on top of the newly installed matting. Donald is the vandal!

He is so good at this

If Dr. Fauci says he helped Wuhan Labs develop COVID to bring down a corrupt president and make billions shorting ivermectin, will my brother-in-laws be alive again?

Interior Secretary Bergum needs to resign now.

🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case and is admitting the damage was the result of a flawed, botched installation job, not vandalism.

My office: One of our patients was denied. Can you give us the prior auth guidelines for GLP-1’s? Insurance company: We can mail them to you. MO: Do you have a website? Or you could email or fax? IC: No. The policy is we only mail them. MO: 😳

Did you get home from work, strip off your clothes and run into the shower, terrified you might accidentally infect your family? Did you watch your mother dwindle on Zoom for a year because you might kill her with an in person visit? If not then you can STFU. 1/2

Was someone arguing the contrary?

Andy Beshear is making himself into Susan Collins (D). Concern without action is just performance.

Trying to figure out where my echocardiogram is this morning. Read after visit summary and I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm????

Maybe it’s time to stop asking nominees who won in 2020 and start asking them who is eligible to run in 2028.

. How many of you knew this? Is it correct? .

Is it because fame has become more important than integrity?

People are saying the White House Correspondents dinner Friday was an embarrassment for Trump. It wasn't. It was an embarrassment for the WHCA and for anyone who was there and didn't walk out when Trump began to speak.

Quick history note: 15 years ago, I flew to Iowa to legally marry my amazing fiancée. We then drove to Chicago, where we were domestic partners, to honeymoon. Then we flew home to Arizona, where two different sets of laws said we were just two guys forbidden to marry. 1/x

I want to see Samantha Morton in a rom-com or doing standup. I’m convinced she can do anything, and I don’t want to be afraid of her.

Exactly!!

I skipped my favorite ID conference last year for the first time since 2006 because it was in a state with policies that make my LGBTQ colleagues less safe. These journalists can’t skip one night of appetizers & dinner even if it means schmoozing with a rapist trying to destroy their industry. 😳😳😳

Saw a patient who told me she’s using her own vaccine schedule that she’s researched. Only doing one shot each visit. Requesting the “measles and polio vaccine.” I miss the days of intelligent conversation with vaccine skeptics.

The movie will be 10 years long and will have a blooper reel with the actual Sirens forgetting their song and substituting Espresso. The historically accurate human to pig transformation by Circe is, scarily, sponsored by Jimmy Dean.

Ketamine Boy totally goes insane because there's a black character in a movie.

There are at least 100 possible answers to this question. This one isn’t in the top 99 when it comes to people with disabilities. It may sound clever in the moment, but when you think about it, your answer really sucks @captmarkkelly.bsky.social #disabilitysky

Is Avengers Doomsday a freestanding movie or Part 1?

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly enraged that none of his staffers explained to him that the logic of his speech last night blatantly implied the only rigged election was the one he personally oversaw, and no one stopped him from telling the entire country he’s incompetent.
