WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Shocking madness. Not entirely surprising, but shocking nonetheless.

My latest, with @scottjshapiro.bsky.social "A world in which the powerful no longer feel the need to justify themselves is not merely unjust. It is barbaric . . . . That world does not have a legal order at all. It has only force, guided by one man’s whims." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

This move by the Trump admin is pure anti-science, pure anti climate science. By reducing this research, the Trump admin is endangering millions.

Delaying the birth dose of the hep B vaccine was just the beginning. Trump is ordering RFK Jr to overhaul the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s a preview of the dishonest, Denmark-infused MAHA strategy to harm as many kids as possible. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-vaccin...

A bunch of us did a piece on RFK Jr.'s attacks on vaccines. Please circulate. Scientists and clinicians are sounding the alarm. It's time to act. youtube.com/shorts/4wnNy...

Yale researchers didn't stop there. They also identified what people most need to know to catalyze action and support climate policy; and it's not about global temps, ice sheets, or ocean currents. What people most need to know about climate change is that (1) others care, and (2) there is hope.

On a related note: The insurance industry is increasingly speaking clearly and loudly warning that if the world does not rise to the challenge of limiting global warming, fast, insurance markets, financial markets, and the global economy will suffer big time: www.betterworlds.com/the-uninsura...

"Last week’s attack on the #CDC could have been a slaughter." Absolutely. And, importantly, thanks to the inflammatory rhetoric, falsehoods, disinformation, and conspiracy theories constantly spouted by the very same person who's responsible for the agency - HHS Secretary RFK Jr. He must go.

Our research has been engulfed by an endless torrent of lab leak conspiracy theories about the origin of the pandemic - even as the evidence for zoonosis has only grown stronger. This fuels anti-science agendas and erodes public trust. Now, we respond 👇 theconversation.com/how-conspira...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany.
