There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.

I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Hell of a quote from the dude here. Guess it runs in the family.
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Spending this slow day at work really watching just way too many videos about how to get the best results with a Moka Pot, because one time I got it *perfect* and I've been chasing that high for a year+ now.

Describing somebody keeping a phone for longer than a year or two as "hoarding" is *chef's kiss*
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

I think this is also a very revealing phrase for Bari to use, because "40 yards" is an objective measurement, so to change those lines you by definition are moving where the actual conversation is. I'm not sure if she actually grasps, that, though.

Thinking back fondly to when these people all worked themselves up into a bank run on their own friend's bank and then demanded the government make them whole above and beyond the FDIC limits.

Difficult to overstate how much of a scam Medicare Advantage truly is. Really one of the tentpoles of the Scam Economy we have going here.
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.

How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage

Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

To my pleasant surprise, the New York Times does not abstain from acknowledging the basic fact in this article: Nefesh B'Nefesh promotes settlement in the occupied West Bank.

This is the value of having a mayor elect who is willing to say the truth, it compels the conversation to change bit by bit.

Spending a week and a half in Paris and Madrid really drives home the point that the (American-ish) concept of a "one-seat ride" is overrated, and frequent headways at nearly all hours of the day is the true gold standard.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.
