It has come to our attention that our Buc-Off Shop is apparently so elite, there are now dupes of our merch. So we are just popping in to remind everyone that there is only one true Buc-Off Shop which you can find at Buc-Off.com, and all proceeds go to Hunger Free America! Impersonators get bucced!!

From this month last year...

Dr @celinegounder.com opening her talk at #IDweek with the fact that the current IDSA president was fired by the HHS secretary as head of NIAID. Really laying out the assault on science that this administration is undertaking 🔥🔥💪🏼

How I imagine the situation inside Team Vivek recently (if there’s at least one sane person there anyway)

This episode, we discuss some of the complications from measles infection. Measles isn't just a rash. And, acute death associated w/ infection isn't the sole outcome we need to worry about. The good news is that we have a highly effective vaccine. We just have to use it. Hear the full discussion ⬇️

The constellation in Van Gogh’s The Starry Night may be based on a real cluster of stars in the Taurus constellation. Researchers make a compelling case with evidence from astronomy, weather analysis and Van Gogh’s letters. sciam.com/article/astr...

There is no sympathy for taking your daughter out of school when you took other people’s kids to concentration camps 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

I know that support isn’t a given; it has to be earned. For more than a year, we’ve traveled across our state, talking to Floridians, sharing our message, and building the coalition that it takes to win. Thank you to the Tampa Bay Times for seeing the power of this movement.

The “disease detective” is an Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer; well trained, smart, highly competitive position. Not needed here. We know the problem. Too many unvaccinated people. What is needed is education and policy. Not a detective 🤷🏻‍♂️

New wrong Facebook election meme. Every ballot in a Minnesota polling place has handwriting on it - two judges’ initials, required by state law. If you doink it for this reason you‘re just wasting our time (perhaps the point of the meme-maker). Call out this wrongness if you see it in your feeds.

I am thrilled to join Matt on the Dogs Were Good Again podcast this week! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ompu...

Two babies died. An 18-year-old with measles died from a rare complication that caused inflammation in the brain. At least six infants have been born infected with measles. There’s no way to predict which kids will get hit hardest.

Recently did my annual govt. ethics training; can’t tell you how enraging it is to answer the questions of “can Maria accept this $20 visa gift card from a coworker at the birth of her son?” (No, gifts up to $20 in value are permitted, but not in cash or equivalent), and be thinking about the 747…🤬

New project for you all: I produced “Musk,” Alex Gibney’s extraordinary documentary, rolling out now.

Put me to work shipping these badboys 👇

Got a soft spot for the shy ones? Boy do we have the guy for you! Rodan is today's featured dog for Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, and he is as sweet as he is handsome...but there's a catch. Rodan is super nervous of pretty much everything.

NOTE: For anyone reblogging or posting about this story, please note that *we did NOT report here that Brenden Cuni is the shooter.* We only reported that he was at the scene wearing the yellow vest and holding a rifle.

My colleagues and I at @propublica.org are looking into the ways health insurers’ use of prior authorization — the extra layer of approval insurers require before covering a medical expense — impacts patients. We need your help. 👇 www.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

For this month’s Q&A with @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social, they focused on the RSV questions they’ve been getting the most, from older adults wondering if they need a shot every year to expecting parents wondering how best to protect their newborn. Swipe for answers to questions about RSV.

Can you please do me a favour🙏 Just click this link & have a quick look at my bird shop: www.carlbovis.com/shop-3 No need to buy anything, but you might see some ideas for Christmas 😉 Sorry for mentioning the 'C' word already, but as a small business, I need to plan ahead.🐦🙏❤️

Michele Tafoya proves she doesn't care about Minnesota families when she calls Trump's war in Iran "one of the most important moves a president has made in modern history", even as costs surge. She has supported Trump's war since the beginning.

gofund.me/3815df05d I know times are tough so please don't feel obligated. This is a friend of mine (a very good soul) that found Benny roaming earlier this year and took him in. They are doing all they can for him but need help. ♥️♥️

Milhoan unaware that medical journals and textbooks did exist in the pre-vaccine era, and had ample time to count the (many) hospitalizations and deaths in the unvaccinated population (i.e., everyone 🤦)

Friends, I’m an independent candidate for Utah House 64, going head to head against the Republican candidate. The election is getting close and any donation now will be enormously helpful to reach voters via signs and mailers. Visit electawessman.com/contribute/ to give my chances a boost!

During the ICE surge, Lisa Demuth signed a letter thanking ICE and praising Kristi Noem for her "steady leadership."
