This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

I think if you look at other social media sites you will see that current members of ACIP and Mr. Siri frequently make disparaging comments about Drs. Hotez, Offit, Fauci etc.

The only pardon a president should be able to give is for a turkey.
Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians.
In Trump’s oligarchy, the rich and powerful can pay their way to reside above the law.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There is a direct line from Trump’s calling Somalians garbage and Hegseth murdering people at sea.
It’s racism. It’s seeing people of color as less than human. It’s dehumanizing them to the point where others feel justified to hurt them.
Trump gives the justification and Hegseth acts. Direct line.

Trump began today's Cabinet meeting by criticizing questions about his stamina.
"I think I’m sharper than I was 25 years ago," the president said, later mocking "Sleepy Joe."
Then he appeared to battle sleep for more than an hour.
