Hong’s statements about her mental health were incredibly vulnerable, particularly for someone already in public office at the time of the interview. "I just felt like nothing had meaning anymore. It was a numbness that took over, and a pain that I couldn’t describe," Hong said in 2023.

Reporting indicates Blanche is making promises to anti abortion senators to get their votes. Please Dems slow this down until the midterms can put a stop to it.

Julie Johnson-McGrath, PhD@jjmcgrath.bsky.social · 2d ago

Thanks for this. Was appalled to see NYT piece fail to mention MAHA obsession with this, at expense of infectious disease prevention and treatment. We need more research into immunology, but not aimed at providing a flawed, overarching theory of health and disease. It's always more complex!

I will be talking with Julia about MAHA tomorrow on Heartlandsignal.com/AM820. Join us at 3pm Central Time.

Inflammatory disorders can be brutal. I’d know personally (thanks vasculitis et al). But the misinformation, including on vaccines, is dangerous. A deep dive from me into how MAHA sped up the inflammation panic. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This MAGA makeover at the WaPo opinion section is very similar to the right coded shift at CBS News. Both chasing Trump's approval AND a MAGA audience.

Days before his abrupt exit from The WaPo, Adam O’Neal was privately boasting that he had pushed the Opinion section further to the right—raising new questions about what really drove his departure. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/adam-oneal...

I cannot believe a few guys making bets on a prediction market are driving some news coverage at CNN and CNBC. It’s clearly info slop, not news. This piece by @atrupar.com & @juddlegum.bsky.social reveals how truly bad it is & how viewers are being misled. Yikes. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
