Today I had a hysteroscopy. This isn’t a criticism of the hospital staff, they were kind & professional. But the procedure was brutal, so much so, we had to abandon it. Please sign/share this petition from @HysteroscopyA calling for adequate pain relief: chng.it/DrTQsJcxsf

Trump just encouraged DOJ to seek discipline for attorneys who appear to violate professional conduct rules "particularly in cases that implicate ... election integrity" which is sort of why many of his attorneys were punished over the last four years.

Why does RFK Jr. continue to spread the lie that the HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer when countries around the world have shown its effectiveness in preventing cancers? Because he makes money on lawsuits filed against the HPV vaccine manufacturers. 1/

There was a fully independent public inquiry. It published 19 reports, the most recent in 2022. The Tories ignored every single one of its recommendations. This is the real story, not the political mud-slinging by the right-wing press.
