With the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a vote at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow, a Senate insider has told Townhall that Kavanaugh has the votes to make it out of committee and the votes to be confirmed on the floor for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sens. Flake (R-AZ), Collins
(R-ME), Murkowski (R-AK), and Manchin (D-WV) are expected to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. All the Republicans are voting yes. Also, in the rumor mill, several Democrats may break ranks and back Kavanaugh. That’s the ball game, folks. It was an intense and hellacious day at the
Senate Judiciary Committee. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of an attempted rape while at a high school party, told her story of her alleged sexual assault. It was intense. It was emotional. And it still lacked evidence, witnesses, and other

Less than 48 hours after Sen. John McCain died from brain cancer, the White House flag was no longer flying at half-staff.

This decision breaks from the precedent of lowering the flags for significant national officials from their death until burial as a show of respect,
So when must a flag be lowered to half-staff? Though precedent is often followed, there are also rules outlined by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in a 1954 proclamation. Aside from the instances outlined by Eisenhower,
the president can also choose to lower a flag whenever the nation is mourning, whether it is after a tragedy or after the death of another official not outlined in the proclamation.

As McCain was a U.S. senator, the proclamation instructs that flags be lowered

[THREAD] The U.S. spends more $$$ than any other country on health care, but gets worse health outcomes than similar countries.

We live shorter lives and have more disease burden. And the gap between the U.S. and other countries has grown.
Along with Jeffrey Selberg @PetersonCHealth, my @KaiserFamFound colleagues and I took a deep dive into the health system. We examined the last 25 years of health spending and outcomes in the U.S. vs similar countries. We look at dozens of indicators from a variety of data sources
U.S. health outcomes have improved, generally, over the past generation. In the past 25 years, life expectancy in the U.S. improved 4% and disease burden improved 12% (though both recently worsened a bit). Meanwhile, the share of our economy devoted to health increased by 40%

A day away from Twitter to face down #cancer drama with medical folks.
Then dealing with the financial devastation wrought by this administration on sick people with a social worker assigned to me via my health insurance.

I am so angry, it's palpable.
Trump is a monster.
I know we're all supposed to be drinking the #civility KoolAid--but I am so angry with the folks who put us here.

I guess that civility mantra is easier if you have money and aren't sick/#disabled.

Oh-my-G*d am I angry.
I'm angry for everyone--even the smug 3rd party purists still trying to keep us from winning back the House & Senate because something something privileged bs.

LOOK AT THESE #SCOTUS RULINGS!

Look at just 600 days of Trump.

Do NOT demand #civility of me.

I don't want to die.

Drug Deaths in America Are Rising Faster Than Ever nyti.ms/2sGyPwK via @UpshotNYT

If you read what I write below, you'll find out that, while these deaths are certainly horrible, they do not constitute an "OPIOID CRISIS".
Top 10 causes for death in US (medicalnewstoday,com) heart disease--614,348--23.8%; cancer--591,699-22.5; chronic lower respiratory disease--147,101-5.6%; accidents--136,053-5.1%; stroke--133,033-5.1%; Alzheimer's--93,541-3.6; TBC......
diabetes--76,488--2.9%; influenza and pneumonia 55,227--2.1%; kidney disease 48,146--1.86; suicide 1.6% (oops, didn't get #).

This article states that in '16, I think, there were 55-65,000 deaths from opiates. Influenza +, is listed 55,227, and is #8. TBC......

I had another life-threatening heart/lung episode today.
I'm not sure how much of it had to do with my cutting my heart meds back to once a day while appealing the increased price by my health insurance from $120 for 60 pills to $1k for 60 pills.
We had to call 9/11.
Scary.
1/
I couldn't afford to go to the hospital--when you call 9/11 the city charges you $1,200 for the trip to nearest hospital.
They only accept cash.
The EMTs checked me out, told me to take the heart meds the way they were prescribed, established I wasn't in VFib, just SVT AFib.
2/
So all day, instead of doing work that needs to be done, I have been trying to get my heart rate under 140, which given my lung meds increase my heart rate, has been more work: breathing exercises my PT taught me, single nostril breathing @HillaryClinton taught me (try it).

The next study in my sequence of studies used by S-T & K is the Boston Diet Heart Study. Published in 1985, the study looked at observations on men living in Ireland, men born in Ireland living in Boston and Irish men born and living in Boston. Echoes of Ni-Hon-San, right?
Except that unlike Ni-Hon-San, there were no differences between the groups at all. The study was based on a single dietary recall that was then scored using the Hegsted and Keys scores. The study was unremarkable, showing exactly what you would expect.
Those with the highest cholesterol and saturated fat in the diet had the highest rate of heart disease and those with the lowest had the lowest rates. Plant matter, both fiber, starch and plant protein were all protective. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
