This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated. The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

propublica.orgThe CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for VaccinationsThe move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Where did Hegseth get the info he dropped into the Signal chat? Did he copy/paste it from another chat? “The Vice President that I worked for wouldn’t even use AirPods because she understood the national security threat. These people—it’s amateur hour at the OK corral.” @symonedsanders.bsky.social

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

I’m slowly transitioning to Bluesky after transitioning from Twitter to Threads. I will get to accepting friend requests and sharing things here. Please be patient.

Speaker Johnson, the folks speaking out at GOP town halls across the country aren’t paid protesters. They’re Americans who are mad as hell at an administration that doesn’t care about them. Grow a spine.

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

Global whiplash. It’s good if things can be patched up for a while, to buy more time. But, US is no longer a reliable ally, and UK/Europe must still go hard and fast on creating more autonomy.

When people say " money is the root of all evil," this is what they are talking about. Greedy gazillionaires who will do anything to get richer, even if it costs lives or forces people into bankruptcy to pay unfairly denied medical bills.

Do you understand what the end game is? Elon, Inc is stealing our personal, financial, and medical records to assign every citizen a value; and your rights, access to employment, food, medical, and your own property will depend upon your value rating.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Every single Republican Senator just voted for the lead architect of Project 2025 to oversee federal agencies and administer the budget. Every single Democrat voted against it. Trump promised he wouldn't implement Project 2025, but we all knew he was lying. Vought is going to do serious damage.

As with every year I will be watching the Puppy Bowl and Rescue Bowl. I’ve boycotted the NFL since they allowed Michael Vick to play even after he tortured and murdered all those dogs.
