The lede to this story is poetry:
It’s mostly been a bad year
on Capitol Hill
for the healthcare sector.
But it’s been a good year
for healthcare lobbyists.

Healthcare lobbying surged in 2025
Spending to influence Congress surged by $91 million, but $1.1 trillion in healthcare cuts passed anyway while sought-after bills languished

I renamed a text chain with my midwife and palliative care NP friends "Womb to Tomb" and it's the best thing I've done recently for my mental health.

“Be realistic.”
I refuse to live in your limited notion of what kind of hope, justice and love is possible in this world. There is a key to let us all out of this cage but it cannot be found until we all agree it exists.

Congratulations to the UVM Catamounts men’s soccer team on an excellent season.
I know you’re disappointed that you didn’t repeat as NCAA Division 1 Champs, but a 14-1 season ain’t bad. You made the entire state proud.

If you want to read “Why I Love the Vermont Green,” I’ve taken pictures of the little zine for you. Of course it’s nicer if you can hold it in your hands. But here’s the zine in full (1/2)

I'm grateful that the Vermont governor & legislators acted to prevent Vermont children & families from going hungry.
Now Trump must obey the law & release $5 billion in emergency SNAP funding appropriated by Congress.
The richest country on Earth shouldn't be facing a hunger crisis.

The American people are enraged. Enraged while walking through their neighborhoods and watching on their screens seeing all the ways Trump is abusing power to empower, enrich, and protect himself while the rest of us suffer.

Got to use my palliative care skills in my teaching role today! Urgently rounded up extra chairs before an activity so everyone could sit.

If I go a full day in the hospital without talking to any patients about my cats, that’s not high-quality palliative care delivery.

I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade.
We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration.
History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.

Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS.
ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out.
Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.
