Rep. Ashley Hinson loves to talk about "listening to Iowans." But when Sarah—an Iowa mom facing cancer—asked for a few minutes, she ran away and hid behind her staff. So much for listening.

Early Edition: PMC COVlD Update, Week of Aug 17, 2026 (US) 🔥15 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks 🔥Worst in CA, AK, HI, TX, GU 🔥Reporting irregularities in TX 🔥2.2 million estimated infections/week 🔥1 in 144 people estimated infectious Details: See Alt text. 🧵(1/4)

We have posted this report 48 hours early in light of increased transmission.

The US has 15 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks, characterized by one or multiple counties at high to very high levels. The largest waves are in California, Texas, Alaska, Hawai’i, and Guam. Washington, Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and Florida are experiencing regional outbreaks. Finally, there are isolated hot spots in north central Utah (Summit/Wasatch), north central Illinois (Boone/DeKalb), central North Carolina (Cabarrus), and northwest Connecticut (Litchfield).

There are major reporting irregularities in Texas. Of the 19 sites online this week, 3 (16%) reported with high/very high levels. Of the 20 Texas sites offline this week that have reported data for last week, 18 (90%) report high/very high levels, with 16 (80%) reporting very high levels. The reason why high and very high sites are disproportionately offline this week is unknown. This creates a major discrepancy between the PMC and CDC maps. If carrying forward last week’s data for the offline sites, the CDC would place Texas in their “high” category, with 21 of 39 sites at high/very high levels (54%), and just below the threshhold for “very high” (17/39, 44%). Houston was previously a leader in wastewater monitoring with 8 sites but has not reported any data the past two updates.

As a physician I would like to point out that there is no such thing as “regular diarrhea.” Americans: WTF is wrong with your country* that having diarrhea is “normal”?! *rhetorical question (you know what’s wrong with your country)

perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

NASA has 37 astronauts eligible for an assignment. 14 of them are women. If you remove the 2 Artemis II men and Christina Koch from the list because of realism, that still leaves 22 men and 13 women, so even statistically... you are not looking good. #ArtemisIII

This should be a career-ending story for Marianette Miller-Meeks — she's either lying (badly!) or completely out of touch with what's happening in her state.

Facebook post from Representative Marianette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) - 3/12/26

I just voted for a Constitutional Amendment that would mandate a balanced federal budget and restore fiscal responsibility. Washington needs to be more like Iowa, where we balance our budget and ensure the government isn’t spending money it doesn’t have.
207 Democrats voted against it.
For decades, Washington has spent beyond its means with no accountability, leaving future generations buried under a growing mountain of debt.
I’m fighting to put a permanent check on Washington’s spending addiction, protect taxpayers, and secure a stronger future for the next generation.

Screenshot from an Iowa Public Radio article, dated 3/12/26

Headline: “Iowa faces back-to-back $1 billion budget deficits as panel reduces revenue estimates”

The state of Iowa’s spending is once again expected to exceed its revenue by about $1 billion in the next fiscal year, according to the latest estimates Thursday from the Revenue Estimating Conference.

So perhaps autistic people aren’t empathy-impaired at all. Just misaligned with a social order that expects empathy to be smooth, selective, strategic, performative, and status-aware. And maybe that's really what gets pathologized. End of 🧵 Full article, with refs, in the link below.

The real measure of any society is how it serves women and families. So I can tell you that the state of our union is not strong when those in power put billionaires first, slash health care, SNAP and childcare funding, and protect powerful predators like the one in office.

It’s never a surprise when men put the approval of another man-no matter how degenerate he may be - ahead of other values. But it’s still worth pointing out. It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s a choice.
