I was just pondering the list of degrees that are no longer considered professional by the government. They include nurses, social workers, and teachers. Those three stood out to me as being mandatory reporters of child abuse. And elder abuse. It feels like they're proactively helping abusers now

This feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Ring camera is feeding data to “Flock”… an AI surveillance program that works with ICE.

HHS is a Germophobe. The irony is palpable.
I don't know who this guy is, but I certainly hope he is okay. That was hard to watch.
I also want to agree with those who noted how bizarre it is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeing a tragedy unfold before him, hauled ass out of the room like George Costanza during a fire.
What a nauseating man.
