(+ the letter from the AMA to RFK Jr) We learned that plans are underway to remove all 16 volunteer members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, or USPSTF. The AMA is deeply concerned about what this decision would mean for patients and physicians. Read the AMA’s full letter to the administration at the link in our bio.

About last night. “Those are your facts, not mine.” This was the response of a dear colleague at a social event who’d pushed me into a political discussion, despite my saying more than once that I didn’t want to talk politics.
🤔
• I believe in evidence-based politics just as I do evidence-based medicine. Facts may change as knowledge is gained - the earth once thought flat, we now know is round; the discovery in the 1980s that bacteria were a primary cause of gastritis and ulcers rather than lifestyle and diet completely altered treatment paradigms. Facts by definition cannot be mine or yours - they have been proven to be true. Unlike beliefs, facts can’t be different between people.
🤔
• My politics and values are no secret and I can get quite passionate about them. So why bring up this topic? I avoid it if I know we don’t agree and, if I don’t know, I probably don’t need or want to know.
🤔
• In collegial and social settings, we really need an unwritten ‘don’t poke the bear’ policy about politics.
🤔
• Next time I’ll walk away before the conversation, not after …

First they destroyed food, now contraceptives. So once again, no food for kids, but ultimately more kids.

Repost from
•
The Trump administration has decided to destroy $9.7m worth of contraceptives rather than send them abroad to women in need.⁠
⁠
A state department spokesperson confirmed that the decision had been made. The contraceptives are primarily long-acting, such as IUDs and birth control implants, and were almost certainly intended for women in Africa, according to two senior congressional aides, one of whom visited a warehouse in Belgium that housed the contraceptives.⁠
⁠
It is not clear to the aides whether the destruction has already been carried out, but said they had been told that it was set to occur by the end of July.⁠
⁠
The department decided to destroy the contraceptives because it could not sell them to any “eligible buyers”, in part because of US laws and rules that prohibit sending US aid to organizations that provide abortion services, counsel people about the procedure or advocate for the right to it overseas, according to the state department spokesperson.⁠
⁠
“This is a waste of US taxpayer dollars and an abdication of US global leadership in preventing unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions and maternal deaths,” said Jeanne Shaheen, a Democratic senator from New Hampshire, said in a statement. Shaheen and Brian Schatz, a Democratic senator from Hawaii, have introduced legislation to stop the destruction.⁠

The Environmental Protection Agency said on Friday that it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, after denying for months that it intended to do so.

The EPA’s science office provides the independent research that underpins nearly all of the agency’s policies and regulations. It has analyzed the risks of hazardous chemicals, the impact of wildfire smoke on public health and the contamination of drinking water by fracking.

The move to eliminate the office comes after a Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to slash the federal work force and dismantle agencies. Read more about the administration’s decision and what it will mean for the EPA at the link in bio. Photo by

There have now been more measles cases in 2025 than in any other year since the contagious virus was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, according to data released Wednesday by the CDC.

The record represents an alarming setback for the country’s public health and heightens concerns that if childhood vaccination rates do not improve, the U.S. will see more deadly outbreaks of measles — once considered a disease of the past.

because we all need a light feel-good story with cute animals

In a heartwarming off-court tradition, Wimbledon gives a second life to thousands of used tennis balls each year—by turning them into tiny homes for one of Britain’s smallest mammals: the harvest mouse. After the tournament ends, around 55,000 tennis balls that are no longer fit for play are donated to wildlife organizations, where they’re repurposed into cozy shelters for these elusive, thumb-sized rodents!

Conservationists cut small openings into each ball and place them in hedgerows and grassy meadows—prime habitats for harvest mice. The soft, insulated interior offers protection from predators and harsh weather, making it a perfect refuge as the species faces increasing habitat loss.

It’s an unexpected but brilliant act of sustainability—transforming sports waste into wildlife support. From the roar of Centre Court to the quiet corners of the countryside, these tennis balls are serving up a second act in the most adorable way imaginable.

In case you missed it as I did, in midst of the dangerous ‘big beautiful bill’, here’s another Trump crime against American democracy. Because in the USA, everyone has the right to due process.

‘In dissent from Monday’s order, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, said the majority had ignored a federal law that requires due process.

“Congress expressly provided noncitizens with the right not to be removed to a country where they are likely to be tortured or killed,” Justice Sotomayor wrote, adding that the Supreme Court has long held that people must be given a chance to explain why they should not face “grievous loss.”

“Being deprived of the right not to be deported to a country likely to torture or kill you plainly counts” as such a loss, she added. “Thus, plaintiffs have a right to be heard.”

Justice Sotomayor wrote that the majority had endorsed lawlessness.

“The government has made clear in word and deed that it feels itself unconstrained by law, free to deport anyone anywhere without notice or an opportunity to be heard,” she wrote.
. . Though the judge’s order applied to many migrants, it captured public attention in May when the government loaded eight men onto a plane said to be headed to South Sudan, a violence-plagued African country that most of them had never set foot in.

Their flight landed instead in the East African nation of Djibouti, where there is an American military base, and they have been held there ever since. The judge, Brian E. Murphy of the U.S. District Court in Boston, ruled that the men must be given access to lawyers and a chance to challenge the government’s plan to send them to South Sudan.

There were eight deportees aboard the flight to Djibouti. One is South Sudanese, and the government has said that another will be sent to Myanmar, his home country, leaving the six others in limbo. All eight have been convicted of violent crimes.‘

If I posted every time I had a ‘💩, p**s, & corruption’ moment after reading about the actions of the current administration, I would do nothing else. Humans of all religions, races, genders, nationalities, sexual orientations, marital status, economic levels, professions, ages, with or without children are at risk. Critical infrastructure, civil rights, education, innovation in science, global heath (infections, cancer, and other devastating diseases), and the environment (including protection from and aid after natural disasters), body autonomy, preservation of history (including slavery and the holocaust), separation of church and state, peace and prosperity for all but sycophants of the administration are already being eliminated. No surprise - Trump told and showed us exactly who he is and what he planned to do from the start. So, although my page will be filled with happy travel photos, know that I share your horror and disgust as we experience the fall of US democracy and rise of the new dystopian oligarchy with horror and disgust … I’m just trying to do it from far away, surrounded by people who didn’t vote for it and don’t have blinders on to the repercussions.
