Vibrio is one of the foodborne pathogens they decided to ignore. It's in the water and you can get infected by consuming infected shellfish or having it enter an open cut. (Someone mentioned recent tattoos.) www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-di...

With credible reports that there will soon be a major increase in federal immigration enforcement activity in Chicago, I want to once again highlight the Family Support Network - a rapid response resource run by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Use it if you spot ICE.

Trump promised he would either pay for IVF or mandate insurance companies to cover it. He could've achieved this by pushing Republicans to support my Right to IVF Act—but he didn't. Instead of fulfilling his promise, he's sitting silent as Republicans push anti-IVF propaganda.
