If my doctor told me they were educated on nutrition by Linda McMahon, who has far less nutrition background than credible charges of child sex trafficking, or Robert Kennedy Jr, credibly accused of sexual assault and literally eats roadkill and says plants are bad for you, I would find a new doctor

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Rochester debates regulating needle exchange programs Will Rochester crack down on needle exchange programs to the point they aren't effective? Advocates are concerned as officials agreed to learn more.

🧡We are experiencing a deeply dangerous trend: Threats of restrictions and outright shutdowns of life-saving #SyringeServices Programs ( #SSPs). Our communities deserve access to unlimited health care support. Full stop.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

🧡Humans have been using drugs throughout our existence. The main reason for the toxicity of the #DrugSupply is the criminalization of substances, which leads to deadlier, more dangerous waves of the #OverdoseEpidemic. To continue the so-called " #WarOnDrugs,"

Announcing his war of regime change, Trump said to the Iranian people, β€œThe hour of your freedom is at hand.” Words from a president who has been snatching freedoms from Americans. A freedom taker presenting himself as a freedom giver. How authoritarians commonly present their wars of conquest.

The path to ending hepatitis C transmission by 2030 We highlight what the state is doing, and could be doing, to realize its goal of eliminating hepatitis C transition by 2030.

Judge blocks Trump DOJ from reviewing Washington Post reporter's seized data The federal magistrate judge expressed frustration that the Justice Department failed to flag a law that protects journalists from having their work materials seized.

Judge Porter rightly scolded prosecutors for omitting a law restricting searches of reporters in a warrant application to search Hannah Natanson's home.

He should also sanction prosecutors, and the State Bar should discipline them, we told @nbcnews.com.

"Brenda and her educators should be figuring out how our kids should be learning. Instead, they are pressed into this relentless effort to keep our students safe."
