This is a surprise?

Why?

The ABA vets lawyers based upon their ability to uphold the law.

The Trump admin apparently wants to vet lawyers based upon their adulation to the Cult of Trump.

Do you see a difference of viewpoint?

I do.

@#6 ... FDA expands COVID vaccine warning about heart side effect risk for young males ...

The article is dated May 2025, so after anti-vax Sec Kennedy has taken control of HHS.

Is that all your current alias has?

@#49 ... I already forget what handle wrecks used last week. Sigh. ...

Yeah.

And I continue to give Major Kudos to RCade for having to deal with all this.

I ran a message board back in the day, I know what he faces.

It ain't pretty.

Yet he persists.

Thank-you.

@#48 ... I would say, I have created more traffic on this site than anyone else, possibly except lamps talking to himself and posting song lyrics. ...

Hey, a major thank-you for that shout out by your new alias.

I do appreciate the recognition of my posting of the lyrics, a.k.a. a link to substantiate what I post.

If only more other current aliases would do the same.

So, what else yer got?

Besides the apparent disruption attempt so far?

... During his commencement address, Garber welcomed family, friends and supporters of the graduating class.

"And welcome, members of the Class of 2025. Members of the Class of 2025 from down the street, across the country, and around the world. Around the world, just as it should be," Garber continued according to a copy of the remarks from his office.

The line was met with loud cheers and a standing ovation. Videos of the moment have also circulated online, sparking praise and backlash.

Later in his address, according to the copy from his office, Garber noted that the graduates are "the hope of this institution embodied -- living proof that our mission changes not only the lives of individuals but also the trajectories of communities that you will join, serve, and lead. May you carry the best of what Harvard is and does into the world that awaits you. May you chart a path for others to follow as you choose your own. And may your many destinations bring you joy, satisfaction, and peace." ...

... He was admitted to the intensive care unit. There, he was quickly intubated and put on mechanical ventilation. Then, his cardiovascular system started to fail. He went into severe shock. His kidneys shut down, and doctors started dialysis. He was soon heavily sedated on fentanyl and other drugs while machines kept him alive. The case and the path to his diagnosis was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. ...

Diagnostic challenge

The man's medical history offered few clues as to what could be going on. He was generally healthy and worked in an office without any risky occupational exposures. He had a history of gallstones and a recent root canal"nothing obviously concerning. He had been camping recently in a rural area of Chascoms, south of Buenos Aires. But he reported no insect bites, contact with rodents, or other exposures.

Lab results showed that his blood had abnormally high concentrations of red and white blood cells, and low levels of platelets. He tested negative for a slew of infections, including COVID-19 (again), influenza, HIV, dengue, and the bacterial blood infection leptospirosis.

Computed tomography (CT) scans of his lungs showed more ground-glass opacities as well as a "halo sign," a ------ on scans that sometimes signals invasive fungal infections. There were also signs of lung collapse and fluid buildup (edema).

It was a diagnostic challenge, and doctors began reviewing the list of possibilities that could match his condition. ...

@#9 ... pulls out of NATO ...

Yup.

That seems to be in line with what Pres Putin wants to occur.

The US pulling out of NATO. Stifling NATO's ability to allow more Countries to ask for membership.

And, I do want to note once again, nations ask to join NATO.

They are not invaded and annexed, as seems to be Pres Putin's approach.

oops, messed up the formatting.

The whole comment is from the article, not just the indented part.

@#17

@#17 ... Really no need it was his first executive order. ...

That Executive Order does not appear to have anything to do with the comment I replied to.

What else yer current alias got, besides deflection?

From #15 ...

@#3 ... Able-bodied Americans shouldn't be receiving SNAP benefits. ...

Also, implied in your current alias' comment is that if someone is working that they are being paid a livable wage.

Is that a correct assertion?

@#3 ... Able-bodied Americans shouldn't be receiving SNAP benefits. ...

Good chart in the article, which see ...

@#11 ... You -------- forfeited your right to play arm-chair doctor when you claimed for 4 years that Biden was fit as a fiddle. ...

I will say that even in fmr Pres Biden's apparent state, that he has not done as much damage to the Republic as Pres Trump seems to be doing.

OK, let's start with a premise that your current alias seems to agree with ...

Both Pres Trump is suffering and fmr Pres Biden had suffered a mental decline while in office.

OK, given that, which one of the two has actively been doing damage to the Democracy of the Republic? And how/why?

imo, that is the operative question here.

What are the desired end results of those two possible mental declines?

@#7

So, in addition to annexing Ukraine, Pres Putin now wants to prevent other Countries from expressing their desire to join NATO as a condition for peace?

imo, Pres Trump blew it, big time, when he seemed to give Pres Putin all he wanted with Ukraine even before negotiations started.

Now, Pres Putin, exploiting the apparent weakness of Pres Trump?, is asking for even more.

... As concerns around the economy have risen in the US, the number of full-time employees doing side work or gig jobs has reached record highs.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 8.9 million Americans, or 5.4% of the civilian workforce, now hold more than one job, an all-time high.

A new survey by global HR tech firm Remote placed the percentage of those working more than one job even higher. The survey of 2,000 full-time, desk-based US employees revealed that 18% have already taken on a second job or side hustle, and another 57% are considering one.

The survey also found that only 17% of full-time office workers say their employer is giving them the resources and support they need to feel stable and motivated at work.

Additionally, 79% of those surveyed by Remote indicated that they're more concerned about the economic direction of the nation compared to last year. The top concerns driving those sentiments include retirement savings and financial preparedness (60%), followed by layoffs (45%) and job security (44%). ...

So, the only thing your current alias deems appropriate of contribution to this thread is apparently an unsubstantiated political-based criticism of Judges?

@#14 ... Its doing work, its eliminating positions in HR, and management. ...

AI seems to be taking jobs from more entry-level positions. And that's not a surprise.

Start first with the less demanding jobs, then move up the ladder.

But, as I implied in #10, where does AI stop as it moves up the ladder?

How long before AI replaces the CEO of a company?

@#1 ... Continuing claims rise 26,000 to 1.919 million ...

An increase in continuing claims usually shows a drop in hiring of entry-level people.

... Weekly jobless claims increase 14,000 to 240,000 ...

And, fwiw, this particular number typically increases going into and through the summer, as US auto plants shut down for retooling. So, going forward thrugh the summer, the information will be in the details.
