I would call it the Williamsburg of Chicago.

Logan Square is a melting pot neighborhood — multi generational immigrants, younger people owning their first homes, a fair bit of gentrification, with some of Chicago’s best restaurants, bars, retail. Think maybe Greenpoint or Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn or Silver Lake in LA. Now with tear gas.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

“.. no modern American president has positioned his family to make so much money while in the White House. Already, since the early days of his reelection campaign, he’s more than doubled his net worth to about $5.4 billion.”

More misinformation about pregnancy and vaccines. I commented on this at the time of ACIP meeting, here's a bit more background. #MedSky + #IDSky + #ObGynSky.

Millions of Americans--especially those who work for or own small businesses, live in rural areas, or retired early--will be forced to make tough choices if enhanced subsidies for ACA plans expire. The health of the nation will suffer for it. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

The real-life impact of Trump and Musk’s freeze on USAID

Drugs and food, intended for global aid, instead languished and rotted in warehouses — and some children withered and died.

Sweeping, damning investigation by my @washingtonpost.com colleagues.

USAID antimalarial and HIV supplies valued at nearly $140 million were delayed in the first half of the year or not delivered at all due to the Trump administration’s foreign aid pause, The Post found...

Trump's sham solutions & false promises to the autism community are particularly galling when his administration is at the same time making deep cuts to the research & services that actually matter to autistic individuals & families. My latest for @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

The Trump administration’s rhetoric dehumanizes — while its policies strip away the services and funding that help.

A terrific piece highlighting the power of understanding and respect for one another. We must raise our voices *together* to support and protect everyone impacted by the malevolent policy prescriptions coming from the White House and state houses. I’m delighted @profoundautism.org was included!

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to Halt Abortion Services

I know there's a lot going on but this is a huge deal: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will stop providing abortions next week in an apparent bid to keep accepting Medicaid. The GOP budget law "defunds" PP affiliates that offer abortion care after October 1

We broke the story on @autonomynews.co

Sources say the affiliate isn't scheduling abortion appointments after September 30 in an apparent attempt to avoid Medicaid "defunding."
