COACH SULLY: “Shift your eyes to this monstrosity… one year. One President. Donating his salary is just a headline. It doesn’t offset the BILLIONS Trump is accumulating elsewhere.” 💰

I want to thank Iowa State Rep. Ken Croken.

He is risking his office by consistently and loudly advocating for trans people in a state increasingly hostile to us and getting treated terribly for it.

If you are in his district, please consider supporting him.

I guess I'm glad they studied this, but duh!

STUDY of hospitalized patients exposed to symptomatic visitors with URTI (upper respiratory tract infections) finds that many get infected. "Visitors are essential to patient care but those with URTIs pose a risk to patients. Visitors should avoid visiting when sick and adhere to hospital protocols including hand hygiene, personal protective equipment usage and compliance with masking policies."

The Mann Research Group seasonal hurricane forecast is out. We call for 10 +/- 3 named storms this season. The forecast for a relatively quiet season is driven largely by the prediction of a substantial El Niño event:
