Gracklepalooza continues with a lot of chaos and chatter. We love it, and we’re not the only ones. Our neighbourhood Merlins are keeping a close eye on things and frequently come through hunting runs. This Merlin was unsuccessful this time around. #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege

I got everything I could possibly have in January out of fear that something like this was coming. This past Monday, with no boosters available, I just went with another COVID vax and Flu. Even with serious underlying conditions, I have zero trust I can get what I need.

Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.

If Trump goes “I’ll cut your federal funding,” and you go “please no, not that, let’s negotiate to satisfy your concerns,” he’ll demand more later brandishing the same threat. Then more. And more again. If instead you say no, maybe you lose that federal funding. But that’s all, you’re not beholden.

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.
