Everyone should care about this. ED boarding leads to increased mortality & morbidity. ER docs know, unfortunately, how dangerous this is. We need to: 1. Measure and track this metric 2. Invest to solve the root causes* *the bottlenecks on throughput usually aren’t in the ER #WeAreAllPatients

Seems like Pete Hegseth thinks Pete Hegseth should resign.

Post by @MattGertz stating “Pete Hegseth in 2016: "The people we rely on to do dangerous and difficult things for us rely on one thing from us: That we will not... be reckless with the dangerous things they are doing for us. That's the national security implications of a private server that's unsecured."

Is Congress going to investigate this @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @morrison4mn.bsky.social? There is NO excuse for this. The convenience of the administration officials is not more important than the safety of our troops or national security.

This is open grift and corruption from the President of the United States. And if you can’t admit that it’s a problem, you’re in the grip of a cult. Every time he does this, he degrades our entire country. It’s also sad. Many Americans who trust him will lose their savings.

I have been seeing and hearing a lot of revisionist history about the pandemic from laptop-class types lately. Any physicians and healthcare workers interested in a project to document what actually happened on the front lines? #MedSky #EMedSky

Rural hospitals are a lifeline for millions of Americans, but proposed Medicaid reductions put them at risk. When hospitals struggle, entire communities suffer—maternity care and emergency services shouldn’t be on the chopping block. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Republican Medicaid cuts could shutter rural hospitals, maternity care

Potential Medicaid cuts could devastate America’s teetering rural health-care system and jeopardize Republicans’ political power among rural voters.

One of many things that bothered me in the February employment report: Employment in restaurants contracted for second month in a row - fears of deportations are real and ICE raids having chilling effect on service sector employment.

You know what would be really cool? A system of government where the whims of the head of state could be constrained by some kind of parliament or legislature, or there were some kinds of “checks” or “balances” that ensured that one person didn’t simply get to dictate how the government worked

Do our D leaders realize that the vast majority of Americans don’t use X and have no idea what Musk is doing or how unhinged he is? Why aren’t there a ton of commercials on right now showing the Republican voters what Musk is doing. With his own words. They won’t like it. I would donate.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

“ASMR” on the White House post means “autonomous sensory meridian response”…a subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin".
