"The #oil supply shock of 1973 caused a U.S. #recession that lasted over a year and prolonged stagflation. The current energy market disruption from #Iran blocking Hormuz is larger than 1973’s, and the war is causing shortages in other important commodities, too. A recession could be coming." https://www.ms.now/opinion/trump-wall-street-iran-war-stalemate

"The firing or resignation of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary is more intra- #MAHA chaos at a beleaguered and battered Department of Health and Human Services.

"When you don’t have a #CDC Director, an #FDA Commissioner, or a Surgeon General, the obvious question is: Why do you have this #HHS Secretary? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is the cause of much of the chaos that has resulted in these job vacancies. HHS is rotting from the head."

Experts wonder, where is the #CDC during this #hantavirus outbreak? https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/publichealth/121209

If only we had a Cabinet brave enough to invoke the #25thAmendment or a #Congress willing to #ImpeachTrump and actually convict him. https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-venezuela-51st-state?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=e9949a73cc-Top+News+%7C+Thu.+5%2F7%2F26_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-998917937b-600541243

This time of year I always see lots of baby geckos around the house, always looking impossibly cute and so vulnerable. #gecko #reptiles #Hawaii

Be suspicious of the #Trump "Shield of the Americas" -- the supposed #narcoterrorism campaign that's #KristiNoem's new day job. https://progressive.org/op-eds/trumps-phoney-war-on-narcoterrorism-liz-20260330/

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @bettycjung.bsky.social Unfortunately this is the real-time experiment on the U.S. population that #ACIP chair Kirk Milhoan said he wants to have by repealing #vaccination requirements. We're all guinea pigs and the cost will be counted in corpses.
