On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

My hot take is US Senators should be paid whatever their states minimum wage is. That’s how you represent your constituents, you live like them.

I woke up to a message from New Hampshire. A bill had made it to the state Senate — one that Representative Julie Miles championed after watching me do peer-to-peer calls with insurance reviewers who weren't qualified to be making decisions about my patients. I'm a surgeon in Texas. I had no idea this had traveled that far. Between cases at Redbud today, I fired off emails to NH Senate members, logged into a YouTube Live, and watched HB 1554 pass. Here's what it does: ✅ Requires peer reviewers to be actual peers — credentialed, named, with their NPI number and specialty certification on the line ✅ Allows physicians to communicate with that peer reviewer at any point in the prior auth process — not just after a denial or on appeal This is a patient-centered, common-sense reform. And it happened because someone posted something. Told the truth. Did the right thing. Thank you, Representative Julie Miles and Senator Tim McGough. New Hampshire just set a standard. I hope other states are paying attention. Get involved. Speak up. You never know what good it might do.

Had a 45-minute conversation with my 15-year-old son tonight about abortion. He came in hot with “there should be restrictions.” So I went hard. Not to bully him — to build him. We talked about bias. About whose body we’re actually discussing. About what it means to hold an opinion on something that will never, ever affect your body. I asked him to look up the stats. Read the actual data. Then come back and finish this sentence: “I’m a man, and I should have the final say over a woman’s body because…” He couldn’t finish it. That’s the point. He’s 15. He’s allowed to be wrong. What matters is that he’s willing to think — really think — not just echo what he’s heard. Raising boys who become men who understand bodily autonomy isn’t optional. It’s the whole job and now I’m tired because he gets these opinions from kids in school. Gawd.

70% of stress in modern times is trying to figure everything out because it’s all so intentionally complicated. Plus, you’re trying not to be scammed by literally everyone. I want the 80s back.

Donald says we would have won the Vietnam War if he'd been president. Maybe he should have just served.

A day in life without inventions by women

Men: won’t wear condoms, won’t get vasectomies, won’t raise kids. Still want women punished for abortion. That’s misogyny, not morality.

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools

Trump says his life was better before he became president. Dude, everyone's lives were better before you became president!

The man who spent a year literally begging for a Nobel peace prize is attacking the pope for advocating for…peace.

OVERHEARD: For context on how big today is: Viktor Orbán has been the blueprint. The proof that leaders can slowly dismantle democracy from the inside and stay in power forever. His model spread across Europe and the USA. Orbán’s playbook was the literal blueprint for Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation worked directly with Orbán’s allies in Hungary. CPAC held conferences in Budapest three times Tonight that blueprint lost. In a landslide.

If the 14th amendment was only meant to protect the “babies of slaves” then the 2nd Amendment is only meant to protect the right to own a musket.

RT @CleverMonsterCT:

"Male privilege isn't real because men get sent to war". Sent to war by other men. Specifically, by rich men. That's an example of classism. In order for it to be misandry, it would have to be women sending men to war. Your anger should be aimed at capitalists, not feminists. Hope that helps.

If Trump doesn't like your coverage of the war, his FCC will pull your broadcast license. That is flagrantly unconstitutional.
