Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

Hegseth Turns Trump’s Firing Squad Into a Public Spectacle
The Army has scheduled Nidal Hasan’s December 3 execution at Fort Hood — the first military execution since 1961 — while the Pentagon still will not explain how the firing squad will operate.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

1/ Although levels are still low nationally, flu metrics are ticking up, including emergency department visits. This is especially true in the West. That’s unusual because: 1️⃣ It's early (usually starts in Oct or Nov) 2️⃣ Flu typically starts in the Southeast before spreading across the country

What is the generally-accepted definition of long COVID? That is, generally-accepted by scientists studying it, doctors diagnosing and treating it, people dealing with it? How about insurers? (Health insurance, disability insurance, others?) Do those groups’ definitions differ?

A major structural hazard with extreme media ownership concentration is that oligarchs impose their ideological agendas--which almost always skew to the far right--on everyone. This capture of core info and communication infrastructures must be dismantled if we're to have any semblance of democracy.

1/ People are fed up with the U.S. healthcare system. Costs are high, people delay care because they can’t afford it, and clinicians are dealing with major administrative burdens. So as Medicare for All comes back into political conversations, what would it actually change if it were implemented?

You may be thinking of RSV antibodies. AAP recommends: The RSV monoclonal antibody nirsevimab for all younger than 8 mos. in their first RSV season, if mother did not receive RSV vaccine during pregnancy. Nirsevimab for kids 8 to 19 months at severe risk for disease in 2nd RSV season.

The American Academy Pediatrics recommends: COVID-19 vaccine for all infants ages 6 to 23 months A COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 2 and older at risk for severe infection. I think insurers are paying for it, generally.

This was not a localized slide. At least 95 people are reported dead in Nepal, hundreds remain missing. The surge tore through settlements along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers; water reportedly rose nearly 30 feet in half an hour. The geographic footprint is huge. Absolutely catastrophic.
