At her 22-week ultrasound, Amanda Jablonski learned their daughter had developed without a skull or a brain. There was no chance for survival, and every day Amanda stayed pregnant was a threat to her health and life. Under TN law, she was denied an abortion. www.wbir.com/article/news...

We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.

Why have 3 #veterinarians not been able to diagnose why this little guy's eyes have clouded over in the last 4 years? It's not cataracts. He is reactive and I think more so since the clouding got worse. He's a 7 yo rescue. Any vets out here in the blue can offer guidance? 😔 #dogs #veterinary

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Awful: The local press in Maine is crediting Susan Collins for getting Trump to agree to ICE bodycams nationwide. It's cynical BS: She voted for $70 billion in ICE money and against requiring bodycams. But this kind of thing is why she could still win. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

Another example of how Bari Weiss is polluting CBS News with crazy talk from her pals. The CBS homepage today features this drek by anti-science quack Alex Berenson. You might remember Alex, the guy who got everything wrong about covid. Now he says coverage of cyclospora is overblown. (It's not)

The cyclosporiasis outbreak is the fourth this year the media has blamed on Trump and RFK Jr. None of them have killed a single person.
