"Dangerous, Irrational, Illogical: RFK Jr. Has Put So Many Lives at Risk" The decision by Trump's extremist health secretary to restrict COVID vaccines & oust the CDC chief could be a death sentence for vulnerable Americans, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

No words…

ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3

When a top CDC scientist resigns citing eugenicist rhetoric from federal health agencies, everyone should absolutely be paying attention.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

The school year just started and there was already a school shooting with multiple dead. This is horrific and it keeps happening. It’s like it’s “normal”. Legislators do nothing to stop the slaughter of children and educators. What a crazy country we live in.

Repeated exposure to heatwaves is accelerating ageing in people, according to a study. The impact is broadly comparable with the damage smoking, alcohol use, poor diet or limited exercise can have on health. 🧪🌡️☀️ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“…nobody should be under any illusions as to what it is - a dangerous pseudoscientific programme of work that supports a corrupt & unscientific wellness industry, seeks to discredit mainstream medicine, & portrays institutions and experts as enemies, not partners.” www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

🧪 A clear, thorough debunking of the pseudo-science behind the vaccines-cause-autism movement. The discredited father/son team and their « home laboratory » are a driving force behind RFK JR’s assault on vaccines. The son is now a senior data analyst at HHS. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Paul Krugman left the New York Times after editors interfered with his work so greatly that he felt his "byline was being used to create a storyline that was no longer mine." Now he's a member of the independent media, like Aaron Rupar. As the MSM declines, independent media is ever more essential.

Let's be clear. I'm old. The first election I voted in was for McGovern in 1972. Let me suggest something to the Democrats in office, especially those my age or older. Your efforts no longer work. Move over and let the younger generations have their turn. Show you love the country. Retire!

Breaking News: California Democrats approved a sweeping plan to redraw congressional districts, in a counterpunch to Texas’ gerrymandering effort.

Alex Padilla just made a point that I don’t think anyone else has made: Trump calling Abbott and asking him for 5 more Republican seats is no different than him calling the Georgia Secretary of State to ask for 11,000 more Republican votes.

Antivaxxers love accusing scientists of censorship but in reality they are the ones trying censor science. RFK just tried bullying a scientific journal into retracting a major study of 1.2 M kids that found that aluminum in vaccines do not increase the risk of autism or asthma. The journal refused.

🧪🧪 This is insane

Kennedy has also tried to get one of the largest studies on the mmr vaccines retracted and the journal have rejected his request which has no scientific merit. Thanks to @profstevegriffin.bsky.social for sharing 🧪

Shootings in NYC so far in 2025 are at a 30-year low. Let’s not pretend this is about public safety. This is a mobilization of the military for domestic political purposes. Blatant authoritarianism.

An appeals court upheld a decision late Friday night that temporarily halts federal agents from making immigration-related arrests in the Los Angeles area without probable cause.

A seductive idea is settling in that America is winning from Donald Trump’s trade war. But that thinking is deeply misguided. The game is not over. And it is one that America cannot win

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review. I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway. My latest in @thenation.com

Via AACR A recent report from the United for Medical research found that in 2024 the NIH awarded $36.94 b in extramural funding to all 50 states. This translates to support of 407.8k jobs + $94.6 b in new economic activity nationwide. An ROI of $2.56 for every $. 🧪 www.linkedin.com/posts/americ...

Trump: “STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!!”

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC. But no City agency has posted it on this platform. Please help spread the word. “If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”

We stand with the EPA 139. www.instagram.com/p/DMGohBNykfu/

Kristi Noem cut off call center contracts leaving Texas' thousands of flood victims stranded with no one to call. She did it because they are running a massive 125 billion dollar budget increase over their immigration bullshit.

These funds could sustain the National Science Foundation for 17 years and make the US a great country. Instead, they'll be used to terrorize people in the US.

Bravo to the @miamiherald.com for publishing this list in full www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The #NIH has labeled 40 projects as "dangerous" GoF research. The projects included are low risk, routine, essential for developing new drugs & vaccines. These actions are not based on real concern but on Trumpian ideology that blames NIH for the Covid pandemic. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

An exchange on X; Marcia McNutt is president of the National Academy of Sciences. Incredible to me that anyone would construe defending science against attack by the government as "partisan politics." It would be equally worth defending no matter which party was in power.

Science didn't turn partisan! It's been politicized & partisanized by conservatives whose cruel, theocratic, destructive policies (banning books, forced birth, climate denialism, gender essentialism) are all directly contradicted by scientific evidence.

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.
