Slashing 80,000 employees when the VA is already severely understaffed couldn't be a more blatant attack on veterans in this country. If you won't stand for these appalling cuts, help me spread the word.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

This weekend, the SWT/KWS Mara Vet Team, with MEP & Mara North rangers, attended to a bull elephant with an arrow and spear injury; both likely due to human-wildlife conflict. The arrowhead was retrieved & the wounds treated, before the patient was sent on his way with a good prognosis for recovery.

It doesn’t matter that not all of RFK, Jr’s ideas are crazy, because those that are crazy (“there are no safe and effective vaccines”, “the COVID virus was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese”) should exclude him from a role in the government. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
The Fundamental Problem with R.F.K., Jr.,’s Nomination to H.H.S.
Kennedy has many bad ideas. Yet the irony of our political moment is that his more reasonable positions are the ones that could sink his candidacy.

Dr Jay Bhattacharya is Trump’s pick for Director of NIH. During COVID he advocated to let the virus spread widely so the US would get to herd immunity faster. His plan would have killed many more Americans. He also thought COVID might only kill 40K people. He was off by 1.2 million.

On Bluesky, in addition to my usual mix of medicine & politics, I’m going to try to post little beams of light. Tonight I’m thinking of the patient who smiled and said hi as we passed in the hallway this morning. He’ll be home for thanksgiving. He was dead a few days ago. His friends saved him.
