Look, Peltola is absolutely not my favorite Democrat running. And. I do not love this. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/u...

A cool study that is getting next to no press: www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-healt...

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ron Wyden says the DOJ and FBI withheld a secret interview with a banker tied to Jeffrey Epstein from the files released to the public. And he says there may be more.

Alert ⚠️ An ICE officer shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin today after a traffic stop. He was shot in the torso and hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His attorney says Perez, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. legally and had a valid work permit.

I'd like to remind everyone of the principled courage of the Pentagon press, which walked out of the building their beat relies on rather than sign a loyalty oath. One of them was a dear friend for whom it was a giant sacrifice and I'm so proud of him. The White House press isn't in the same league.

I agree with this statement.

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

It feels like this will not help the price of groceries go down. Or, say, make anyone happier, less stressed, or live longer. I am just a social scientist though, so really I am just guessing.

Plagiarism machine does it again. I can do a google search and steal some guy's work for less than 22M dollars

An important point from Dr Delawalla Yes, we all know DOD does research, including medical research (eg on malaria) But if you genuinely, hand-on-your-heart think that the 2 dudes Hegseth & Bhattacharya secretly siphoned NIH money to DOD to *BENEFIT PUBLIC HEALTH*, well, you’ve lost your compass

There are wonderful staffers (who I’m in touch with) working at HHS, doing heroic work under extremely awful anti-science, anti-public health leaders; the staffers—at CDC, NIH, FDA—are quietly doing all they can to promote public health despite HHS leaders working hard to dismantle public health

It is not clear to me why only Democrats are alarmed. Everyone gets sick.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

Seneca Nation President J. Conrad Seneca called Friday for President Trump to rescind his order to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” citing a 225-year-old treaty between Native Americans and the U.S. government.

This is a must-read, brilliant, incredible report. I've read it twice already. aiandeducation.mit.edu/report/

Goddess of kindness. Y'all, in this life we have, THAT is truly something to reach towards.

Just pathetic.

This is incredible. @mayor.nyc.gov

I cannot emphasize how many times similar studies have come to similar conclusions. The longer we wait, the more those numbers - dollars and lives - will go up.

This is an incredible piece of writing, which I rarely say, AND incredible scholarship (which I also almost never say).

This week I sat down with Bernie Wagenblast, the voice of the NYC subway system - a sound that any New Yorker can recognize almost instantly. We discussed how she got the job, her experience as a trans woman in New York City, and so much more. Watch the full stream below: youtu.be/XuAqiaCvxT8?...

I learned about 9 new things from this video. Very well done, and - I'd argue - critical watching.

Finally, resilience. Low-resource settings have spent decades managing outbreaks, supply shortages and fragile health systems. Those experiences have produced practical expertise in surveillance, adaptability and crisis response that wealthier countries would be wise to value more highly.

Hugely important, and under-discussed. Every mental health professional and ER professional should be talking about this specific phenomenon, and as Dr. Basedow points out, similar phenomenon in other fields early and often. I would argue even without AI, this is an incredibly important topic.

Cytogeneticist Dr. Barbara McClintock won the 1983 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her study of corn chromosomes--revolutionizing the field of cytogenetics. She is the only woman to be awarded an unshared Nobel Prize in this category. She was born #OTD in 1902. #WomenInSTEM
