AWHONN’s Perinatal Nursing is now available on Amazon. A bit delayed as it was printed overseas, but so happy it’s finally published. ⁦@AWHONN⁩ with Pat Creehan, Nancy O’Brien-Abel, ⁦@drcherylroth⁩ Cheryl Roth & Annie Rohan. A lot of effort by many experts.

@defense_civil25 For all of hateful views…..just like you

🚨Update: "I am pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk, posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom!” - President Trump

@johnastoehr What a surprise! Not

1. Bloomberg journalist Jason Leopold reported this morning that the president’s name has been redacted from more than 100,000 documents the FBI has on child-sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

@MHPoison1 Go for it!

I'm gonna soon be that crazy old lady sayin' inappropriate things who people tolerate for precisely that reason

@ThrillaRilla369 I write ours on a paper plate.

My daughter says I'm old and stuck in the past. Does anyone else still use paper grocery lists?

@neal_katyal @GeorgeWill If anyone can be successful, it’s you. 🤞🤞🤞

Honored to be arguing the tariffs case against President Trump's Executive Order later this week in a rare en banc proceeding. Grateful to an incredible legal team, which has been getting me ready. The column in the next post (gift linked) by @GeorgeWill captures some of the stakes.

@jefftimmer 🤞

The Murdochs have decided to take him out. They’ve long had all the sordid dirt on Trump’s criminality and corruption. They’re going to empty their munitions stockpiles. This is going to be scorched earth.

@45bestwords All of them

The Obamas extended every courtesy to the Trumps The Trumps return was to snub, lie about, vilify + denigrate the Obamas The Bidens extended every courtesy to the Trumps The Trumps return was to snub, lie about, vilify + denigrate the Bidens The Trumps are truly Sh*tty people!

@DrPlantel That guy is a complete moron who should know better.

The next frontier in medicine is not listening to people who say crap like this. NO ONE is out here claiming heart disease is caused by a statin deficiency, Mark. 🤦🏽‍♀️

@LucasSa56947288 Obviously delusional

??????

@MarkMaxwellTV Because he’s a phony, liar, and a coward. Afraid to tick off trump and other powerful Rs.

Sen Josh Hawley called Medicaid cuts "morally wrong" & "politically suicidal." He said the "big beautiful bill" would eventually force rural hospitals to close. He called for a tax policy that is more fair to workers and families than corporations. So why'd he vote for this?

@drseanmullen 🤞

The best part about post-pandemic life is guessing whether your heart palpitations are from caffeine, anxiety, or unchecked viral persistence. It’s like Wordle, but with symptoms.

@AdamKinzinger And so embarrassing that he is our president

Absolutely the dumbest man in govt. This is just ridiculous.

@Sinfulskin2 For him ?

Would you post negatively about Trump if it could result in a possible prison sentence? 🤡😳

@emzorbit Thanks for pointing that out.

This photo is of downtown St. Louis. Eric Schmitt lost St. Louis City by 68 pts and St. Louis County (where Eric Schmitt lives) by 24 pts. Even his home town hates him. Happy July 4th, America! 🇺🇸

@JacobLongDC 🤞🤞🤞

Hear me out — I actually think absent Ann Wagner could be beatable with a good common sense candidate who’s young, energetic, visible, media savvy, and willing to go everywhere. She’s known for never doing district events, town halls, or debates.

@OccupyDemocrats If it weren’t for the MAGA Catholics, trump would never have been elected. The Church really messed us all up and our country with their one-issue voters. Hard to forgive.!

BREAKING: The Catholic Church enrages MAGA world by coming out forcefully against the "big, beautiful bill" as twenty bishops sign an interfaith letter stating that its "passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole." There is nothing less Christ-like than cutting healthcare and food stamps or the poor.... "First, it provides tens of billions of dollars to the government to undertake a mass deportation campaign which will separate US families, harm US-citizen and immigrant children, and sow chaos in local communities," the letter reads. "It will spur immigration raids across the nation, harming hard-working immigrant families essential to our economy and causing widespread unrest like we recently witnessed in Los Angeles." The legislation would funnel over $150 billion towards Trump's border policies and immigration crackdowns, with the ICE budget alone ballooning from $3.4 billion to $45 billion until the end of 2029. It amounts to a 365% increase which Professor Donald Moynihan of the University of Michigan has pointed out is more than the combined funding for all 50 federal prisons. In addition to being a gross waste of taxpayer money, this funding will create a self-perpetrating deportation industrial machine just like our private prison system and military complex. Just like pouring money into military contractors incentivizes new wars, pouring money into this fledgling deportation industry will incentivize more crackdowns and family separations. The more you feed the monster, the bigger and hungrier it gets. "This funding also will be used to target faith communities, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed places of worship from its sensitive locations list, allowing ICE agents to enter them for enforcement purposes," the letter continues. "We have already witnessed a reduction in attendance at many of our religious services in our denominations, as the threat of enforcement has deterred many families from practicing their faith." The signatories include numerous prominent bishops such as Cardinal Robert McElroy, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Bishop John Dolan, Archbishop Paul Etienne, Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski, and Bishop Jaime Soto. In addition to the Catholic leaders, the letter was signed by the leaders of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas as well as respected faith leaders of the Episcopalian, Jewish, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Muslim communities. "Moreover, the bill provides funding for a border wall along the US-Mexico border which we believe will drive migrants into the most remote regions of the border and lead to an increase in migrant deaths," the letter goes on. "It also would hurt the local environment along the border and force desperate asylum-seekers seeking safety to increasingly rely on human smugglers." "As you should know, our faith organizations have long favored the creation of legal avenues for migration and a legalization program for immigrants who have lived in the US for years and contributed their hard work to our economy," the signatories wrote. "We believe the adoption of these policies, instead of the implementation of a mass deportation campaign, would not only benefit immigrant workers and their families, but be in the best interest of our nation." "Second, the legislation makes severe cuts in health-care coverage and food assistance to millions of both low-income citizens and legal residents, including asylum-seekers and refugees, driving them deeper into poverty," the letter adds. "According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill transfers wealth from those in the bottom 10 percent of income to those in the top 10 percent of income in our nation, increasing the already large gap between the rich and the poor." The bill will slash nearly $1 trillion in funding from Medicaid, a move that will directly result in the death and suffering of countless Americans. People will go blind, see their life expectancies cut in half, and end up bankrupt and homeless. Nursing homes and hospitals will shut down. It also guts funding for crucial food programs like SNAP by roughly $186 billion by 2034. Americans are literally going to starve to death so that billionaires can afford a few new yachts. "From our various faith perspectives, the moral test of a nation is how it treats those most in need of support. In our view, this legislation will harm the poor and vulnerable in our nation, to the detriment of the common good. Its passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole," it concludes. In a separate statement, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that the bill "takes from the poor to give to the wealthy." "It provides tax breaks for some while undermining the social safety net for others through major cuts to nutrition assistance and Medicaid," he continued. "It fails to protect families and children by promoting an enforcement-only approach to immigration and eroding access to legal protections. It harms God’s creation and future generations through cuts to clean energy incentives and environmental programs." "I underscore what my brother bishops said in their recent letter to find a better way forward and urge Senators to think and act with courage and creativity to protect human dignity for all, to uphold the common good, and to change provisions that undermine these fundamental values," he added. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank these bishops for speaking out!

@RockyResistor @Mollyploofkins Hard to do but he’ll likely accomplish it. Embarrassing as usual.

@Mollyploofkins Could he cheapen the White House anymore?

The UFC has confirmed it will hold a championship fight on the grounds of the White House in summer 2026, as part of the United States’ 250th‑anniversary celebrations.

@SarahLarchmont Sicko evil phony Christians

This is Glenda Thurmond. She works for Oasis Ministries in Winter Haven FL. She is selling alligator Alcatraz merchandise as any good Christian would.

@MilkManMSU Heading there next week. Love that place.

Just your annual reminder that this is the worst place on the planet. Never visit. Especially in the summer.

@rhonda_harbison Hope you are get treatment that will help you be able to heal.

I just wanted to let my friends know I found out today I have metastatic cancer and I need all the healing energy and prayers I can get. Love you all. Thanks
