“Please get the truth out about our son.”
Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

Do not refer to Trump’s ICE goons as “law enforcement.” They are not enforcing the law. Here is an actual law enforcement professional, the police chief of Minneapolis. He’s sick of ICE and says it’s time for them to go.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti has been identified as the 37-year-old male who was shot and killed by agents with Border Patrol and Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a scuffle today in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pretti had no extensive criminal record and worked as a nurse with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢
Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

Proud to see @WomenInThoracic in @nytimes. The challenges highlighted are real, yet our meeting was filled with positivity, momentum, and a commitment to a better future for our mentees, patients, and daughters.
Women are wanted and needed in CT surgery!

VFib flare up???
Statement from Sen. Fetterman’s Spokesperson:
“During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock.
Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh.
Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.
Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’
He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen.
Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”

SAVR after TAVR at #eacts2025 by Gregory Fontana
Doesn’t look Good… the industry and the Interventional cardiologist will keep pushing further… but the data is right there.
(Btw: totally agree with: is TAVI not TAVR!)

"654 of 654 surveyed"
100% of Thai women working in Israeli agriculture report being sexually assaulted in Israel — 654 of 654 surveyed. A report by immigration experts Dr. Yahel Kurlander and Dr. Shahar Shoham said “the State of Israel has abandoned these women” and that filing a complaint can mean losing both job and home.

1950s, University of Minnesota — a sea of surgeons crowds the table during one of the first open-heart surgeries. No ECMO, no mini-circuits — just ingenuity, courage, and teamwork that changed cardiac surgery forever.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
