In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Breaking MS NOW:
FBI Director Kash Patel flew today on the FBI's Gulfstream jet bound for a trip to the winter Olympics in Italy to watch one of his favorite sports: men's ice hockey.
Patel's trip to Milan is likely to cost as much as $75,000. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

The FBI interviewed one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims four times over her allegation that Donald Trump assaulted her when she was underage—but most accusations against the president appear to have been removed from the government’s documents.

I would use the Tramadol analogy - unreliable analgesia (care) and multiple potential adverse effects (missed psychosocial assessments, poor transitions of care, increased caregiver burden).
Training students and residents, I was able to point out that this type of physician behavior was NOT the way an interprofessional team cares for patients with serious illness.
This behavior robs the patient and family of valuable input and care from the team. Often, escalating doses of medications for symptom control when what was needed was the skill of the social worker, chaplain, or music therapist.
Thank you for this thoughtful discussion! I have worked with physicians who had a "savior complex." They were the only ones who knew how to care for the patient. Unsolicited recs that help patient care were often viewed as an annoyance or an affront to their skill.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.
McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.
The man with the nuclear codes wants to annex a key ally…and he can’t even remember which one it is. It’s time to take away the car keys.
This seems so incredibly short sighted, since the note created by a pharmacist could be reviewed and co-signed by a physician and be billable. This would increase team capacity. MedStar, OSU, U of Kentucky, John Hopkins, VA system all examples of success but somehow not seen as benchmarks.
Same. Worse, no interest in discussing what quantitative or qualitative metrics matter. Offloading billable providers by doing routine symptom management so they can engage in complex GOC convos, challenging family meetings, or new complex ICU care consults doesn't seem to move the needle.
ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.
They released him an hour later.
The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )
Seems that cost savings/cost avoidance carry little weight in the C-suite anymore. These activities alone can justify a pharmacist's/social worker's salary (reducing medication misadventures, earlier discharges, ToC coordination, etc). Spent a decade trying to demonstrate value without success.
Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.
She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..."
