@chefsevenn We had an old fashioned table that had a flatware drawer under it. My mom found petrified lima beans, canned green beans( should be illegal), tuna casserole and other inedible delights in and my gig was up.

Be honest because I’m proving a point When you were a child if you didn’t want to eat what your mother made for dinner What happened?

@UnrektEngine @hell_line0 Maybe listen to the announcement, it is for anyone who might require assistance or extra time to board.

@hell_line0 Why do deaf people get special boarding?

@Hoopss Today, I can't with the X.

When was the last time you called it "Twitter"? Be honest.

@rawsalerts I would expect it.

🚨 BREAKING: Democrats now projected to impeach Trump — 66% chance.

@Suzierizzo1 I think he would be a fabulous president. It is sad that so many people would never choose to vote him. I think Kamala Harris would have been a very good president as well but heaven forbid someone vote for a Black woman.

Do you think Pete Buttigieg would make a Great President? Yes or No

@JoeDavi17080220 @atrupar I have often wished for a laugh reply here. I have not wanted to use one more than when I read moth wings. It will forever be how I think about this halfwit.

@atrupar He's an F'ing football coach with a phys ed degree. He has hilljack idiot supporters because he got some wins at his Alabama school. Those ears look like a giant Moth wings.

Tuberville: "These Muslims? They call it a religion. What religion do you know that says 'if you're not in our religion, we're gonna kill you. We want you dead.' That's not a religion. That's a cult. They took over Europe. It's gone."

@whoislxvi @Moonlight_myths Let me go back and read Genesis again so I can find where it says women were built to be in the kitchen.

Women don’t want to admit this, but deep down they know that’s where they belong, THE KITCHEN. That’s not his responsibility, which is why he had some difficulty with it, especially childcare. His role is to go out, provide, and secure for the family. Women belong in the kitchen to cook, take care of children, and maintain the home. WHAT ELSE CAN THEY OFFER?? But women nowadays are running away from what they were built for, saying it is not easy. Women of this generation are weak. smh

My husband said he would take care of our kids for a day to show how easy my job is, but now he's upset with me. We have 2 kids, aged 3 and 5. My husband has the option to work from home some days, but he prefers going to the office. I run a small buisness from home that brings in a third of our income, but since I'm at home i also handle the kids and most of the house work. A few days ago, i was really tired and didn’t cook dinner. When he got home, i suggested he order something and he got upset. He said since i was home all day, the least i could do was cook. I tried to explain that he didnt know how much i did during the day and he said he would stay home to prove how easy my job was..

@kallman_tom @MacFarlaneNews Actually, they are following the wishes of their constituents, which is exactly their job.

@MacFarlaneNews Any member of Congress who refuses to attend the State of the Union is merely confessing that they no-longer work for the American people and their involvement in government affairs is of no importance.

Empty chairs NOT ATTENDING Trump speech tonight: Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) (MORE)

@DrNeilStone I have been getting them since they came out in late 2020 because I was working in a Covid unit. I did miss 1 booster. Did finally get a very mild case early this year most likely on a flight. Just got my 2025 booster and very much not dead.

Apparently 75% of those who got the Covid shot are dead and the other 25% regret they got it Anyone out there who has had the Covid vaccine, is not dead, and does not regret it? I'll start Me 🤚

@BayirdScott @ZHoldeman21 @esjesjesj Lots of vile people do what they preach. Not able to find 1 positive thing Charlie Kirk did for this country.

@ZHoldeman21 @esjesjesj One could argue that Kirk actually lived what he preached. There are many stories that MLK was a hypocrite and did a lot of things behind the scenes that would make people look at him differently. He still did a ton for the county and needs to be celebrated. Both have

He was a fucking podcaster

@BrendanCarrFCC What would be in the community's best interest would be protection of the First Amendment. All this is, is capitulation to a bully president by Next Star and by you. All Kimmel did was express a different opinion, an opinion that at least half of America agrees with.

Broadcast TV stations have always been required by their licenses to operate in the public interest—that includes serving the needs of their local communities. And broadcasters have long retained the right to not air national programs that they believe are inconsistent with the public interest, including their local communities’ values. I am glad to see that many broadcasters are responding to their viewers as intended.

@NeekoC18 @being_jackson @dr_demetre Useless idiot, nothing useful about a fool who gets triggered by pronouns

@being_jackson @dr_demetre If you read that extremely detailed post and got triggered by the 3 words at the end thats all we needed to know that your another useful idiot and part of the problem NOT solution.

My resignation letter from CDC. Dear Dr. Houry, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective August 28, 2025, close of business.   I am happy to stay on for two weeks to provide transition, if requested. This decision has not come easily, as I deeply value the work that the CDC does in safeguarding public health and am proud of my contributions to that critical mission. However, after much contemplation and reflection on recent developments and perspectives brought to light by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I find that the views he and his staff have shared challenge my ability to continue in my current role at the agency and in the service of the health of the American people. Enough is enough. While I hold immense respect for the institution and my colleagues, I believe that it is imperative to align my professional responsibilities to my system of ethics and my understanding of the science of infectious disease, immunology, and my promise to serve the American people.  This step is necessary to ensure that I can contribute effectively in a capacity that allows me to remain true to my principles. I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.  The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.   The data analyses that supported this decision have never been shared with CDC despite my respectful requests to HHS and other leadership.  This lack of meaningful engagement was further compounded by a “frequently asked questions” document written to support the Secretary’s directive that was circulated by HHS without input from CDC subject matter experts and that cited studies that did not support the conclusions that were attributed to these authors.  Having worked in local and national public health for years, I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people. It is untenable to serve in an organization that is not afforded the opportunity to discuss decisions of scientific and public health importance released under the moniker of CDC.  The lack of communication by HHS and other CDC political leadership that culminates in social media posts announcing major policy changes without prior notice demonstrate a disregard of normal communication channels and common sense.  Having to retrofit analyses and policy actions to match inadequately thought-out announcements in poorly scripted videos or page long X posts should not be how organizations responsible for the health of people should function.  Some examples include the announcement of the change in the COVID-19 recommendations for children and pregnant people, the firing of scientists from ACIP by X post and an op-ed rather than direct communication with these valuable experts, the announcement of new ACIP members by X before onboarding and vetting have completed, and the release of term of reference for an ACIP workgroup that ignored all feedback from career staff at CDC. The recent term of reference for the COVID vaccine work group created by this ACIP puts people of dubious intent and more dubious scientific rigor in charge of recommending vaccine policy to a director hamstrung and sidelined by an authoritarian leader.   Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults.  Their base should be the people they serve not a political voting bloc. I have always been first to challenge scientific and public health dogma in my career and was excited by the opportunity to do so again.  I was optimistic that there would be an opportunity to brief the Secretary about key topics such as measles, avian influenza, and the highly coordinated approach to the respiratory virus season.  Such briefings would allow exchange of ideas and a shared path to support the vision of “Making America Healthy Again.”  We are seven months into the new administration, and no CDC subject matter expert from my Center has ever briefed the Secretary.  I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us.  Unvetted and conflicted outside organizations seem to be the sources HHS use over the gold standard science of CDC and other reputable sources.  At a hearing, Secretary Kennedy said that Americans should not take medical advice from him.  To the contrary, an appropriately briefed and inquisitive Secretary should be a source of health information for the people he serves. As it stands now, I must agree with him, that he should not be considered a source of accurate information. The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines favoring natural infection and unproven remedies will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer.  I believe in nutrition and exercise.  I believe in making our food supply healthier, and I also believe in using vaccines to prevent death and disability.  Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated and is derivative of a legacy that good medicine and science should continue to shun. The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning.  My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so.  I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud.   I am resigning because of the cowardice of a leader that cannot admit that HIS and his minions’ words over decades created an environment where violence like this can occur.  I reject his and his colleagues’ thoughts and prayers, and advise they direct those to people that they have not actively harmed. For decades, I have been a trusted voice for the LGBTQ community when it comes to critical health topics.  I must also cite the recklessness of the administration in their efforts to erase transgender populations, cease critical domestic and international HIV programming, and terminate key research to support equity as part of my decision. Public health is not merely about the health of the individual, but it is about the health of the community, the nation, the world. The nation’s health security is at risk and is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunities for growth, learning, and collaboration that I have been afforded during my time at the CDC. It has been a privilege to work alongside such dedicated professionals who are committed to improving the health and well-being of communities across the nation even when under attack from within both physically and psychologically. Thank you once again for the support and guidance I have received from you and previous CDC leadership throughout my tenure. I wish the CDC continued success in its vital mission and that HHS reverse its dangerous course to dismantle public health as a practice and as an institution.  If they continue the current path, they risk our personal well-being and the security of the United States. Sincerely, Demetre C. Daskalakis MD MPH (he/his/him)

@allenanalysis She looks like a Kristi Noem wannabe.

🚨 Texas GOP candidate Valentina Gomez just released a campaign ad burning the Quran and vowing to “end Islam in Texas.” This isn’t politics. It’s incitement. When the mosques start burning, remember: this was the match and the Texas GOP handed her the lighter.

@dpshow Everyone grieves differently. In listening to the show I felt like Dan was being mocked. I used to have drive time talks with my Mom when I had long commutes. When I was missing her a lot after she died, I would still talk with her while driving. Keep texting Dan!

Left Turn: Do you text dead people whose number you still have in your phone?

@glennbeck What the hell is either woke or inclusive about this rebrand? Yes, more contemporary and less nostalgic. Love to throw around those words around for anything you don't agree with. I don't go to Cracker Barrel to sit in a rocking chair. Have one of those at home.

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino said on Good Morning America this week that people are thrilled about the restaurants rebrand. I think she’s lying. Woke ideology has changed our country in countless ways, some of which we may never get back. But Cracker Barrel has always represented the one thing I think so many Americans currently crave: NOSTALGIA. You go to Cracker Barrel for the rocking chairs outside, the meals that taste like grandma’s home cooking, and the simple game of Chinese checkers on the table. ‘Rebrand’ all of that to something more modern, something more inclusive, and something that erases those feelings, and you’re ‘rebranding’ the SOLE reason why anyone goes there to begin with.

@LucasSa56947288 Ordinarily I would say no. We are not in ordinary times and there is no way playing fair will work with the current regime.

Question, if you lived in: - California - New York - New Jersey - Illinois - Colorado - Every blue state that you’re living in Should they gerrymander out as many Republicans as possible? What you think?

@SpeakerJohnson How you go home, say your evening prayers and call yourself a Christian is a mystery to me. You claim to be so pious, yet you have sold your integrity to a lying, power hungry, sexual predator and convicted felon. You are lying nearly as often as he is.

@drdagly Powerful story. Being on the frontlines as a covid unit nurse, we saw much the same in our patients and their families. To pour yourself into caring for people because that was what yo did and then be subject to so much hate and yes violence took away any benefit of doubt for me.

As I watch the horrors of that time fade, and governments rewrite history in favour of those who were cruel and selfish while dismantling the systems that kept innocents safe, I’m seeing less and less benefit of the doubt.

So, during the pandemic I had a young angry man who chose not to be vaccinated. He was convinced that his youth and vigour along with some questionable supplements would keep him healthy. He took no precautions and actually attended a COVID party.

@meiselasb Yet Trump put a hold on air traffic controller hiring. The understaffing was known, the Biden admin made hiring a priority. But let's make things safer with mass deportations and make America great again! Posted while flying after taking off on a delayed flight from DCA.

OMG!!!
