I am making a documentary about a Black physician who was denied hospital admitting privileges in the Jim Crow era, co-founded and led a Black hospital for decades, and was the first African American to run for public office in Alabama since Reconstruction. www.docgoodefilm.com

One of the absolute highlights of my trip to Ingolstadt in September was seeing the exhibition ´Ansichtssache’ (a matter of perspective) at the German Medical History Museum. It showed the knitted anatomy of Katharina Sabernig, and I can’t say how much I loved it!

Anyone who thinks nursing is not a professional degree doesn't know anything about health care.
Also, from a practical standpoint, this is going to do wonders for the perennial nursing shortage that we have had for over 100 years.

Nursing is not a 'professional degree' amidst student loan changes
Nursing isn't considering a professional degree for the purposes of student loans. Will this impact the industry?

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.

Trump looks incredibly weak right now. It's not just his poll numbers. You have rising GOP stars like MTG and Katie Britt staking out moderate positions, with an eye toward 2028, you have cabinet members trying to outmaneuver each other, pulling the administration in opposite directions.

I don't consider Musk to be a serious person so he was likely just musing out loud with his billionaire friends and patrons. But if this is how tech billionaires are thinking about the impact of AI on our future, then we should demand answers to these questions. 1/?
Some follow-up questions for Musk:
For those who don't work, what kind of food, shelter, clothing will they have and how will it be provided to them? Paint a picture.

This is why I don't think we should be too concerned with a coverup of the Epstein files. This administration is too incompetent to pull it off.
Breaking on MS NOW:
The full grand jury never reviewed the indictment it handed up against Comey.
Prosecutors said, instead of presenting a new indictment after the grand jury declined to approve one of the counts, Halligan simply brought an altered version for the grand jury's foreperson to sign.

Ken Burns’ documentary did mention Washington’s decision to inoculate the troops, but it missed a tremendous opportunity to talk about how inoculation, and public health generally, was being discussed as both a duty of government and a right of the people. It wasn’t just a smart tactical move.
George Washington’s surgeon general Dr. John Morgan wrote in his 1776 “Recommendation of Inoculation” that denying inoculation was a “violation of the natural rights of mankind” and every government has a duty to “provide for the safety of its members by rendering [it] as universal as possible.”
Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

To be fair, technically the CDC may have complied with this apparent promise… by keeping the title “Vaccines do not cause autism,” while adding an asterisk and filling the rest of the page with lies. Cassidy is a fool.

The two things saving us right now from outright authoritarianism are the courts (SCOTUS excepted) and mass protests.
BREAKING: A federal court blocks Texas’ new congressional gerrymander, which could net five more GOP seats in Congress, from being used in the 2026 midterms. Texas Republicans will likely ask the Supreme Court to weigh in on the case.

Many of our political leaders have been hostile to the press, that is nothing new, but Trump's attacks have been more personal and extreme. His abuse of journalists has spread throughout the administration. It has to stop.
1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.

Ken Burns is definitely prepping us for Benedict Arnold’s traitor turn. He might have also mentioned that Arnold called for inoculating soldiers more than a year before Washington did and had his order rejected by General John Thomas (who died of smallpox).

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Trump was a totally undisciplined, unfocused candidate in 2024 and it didn't matter. He still won the election. It is so insulting for consultants to insist that voters can only hear one message at a time or that they don't care about corruption and the rule of law.
